Help... My diet guideline papers keep saying I need to eat "gauged" foods... It says gauged foods are foods that give you a fuller sensation after eating... But it does not give a list of what these gauged foods are!! I don't understand what foods are gauged foods! It does say rice, pasta, and bread are NOT considered gauged.

So anybody out there know what foods are gauged food???

Never heard the term, but would assume it means foods that are harder to get through the band.

And what food are foods that don't go through the band easily?

sorry I never heard of "gauged foods" if I find out anything I will share

I had never heard of this before so I googled it. I found that

there is an app that tells you what foods are supposedly better.

What is FoodGauge?

FoodGauge is a revolutionary food rating system that helps you make food choices to assist in weight loss.

This 5-point system simplifies food labels and nutrition.

It was developed by Bariatricians (weight loss physicians) Robert Ziltzer, MD and Craig Primack, MD

FoodGauge favors food with Protein and Fiber, and disfavors food with carbohydrates and fat.

Why did we develop FoodGauge?

Trying to figure out if a food is going to cause weight loss or weight gain by reading a nutrition label is confusing. We made it simple! A single score tells you what you need to know. It is available for iPhone and iTouch through iTunes or direct download, and Blackberry through App World.

What types of foods will be highly rated?

Foods that are high in protein and/or fiber will rank highly. This includes lean meats, chicken, fish, eggs, and nonfat cheeses, as well as vegetables and low sugar fruits. Many high protein, low-carb Entrees will be highly rated.

What types of foods will receive a low rating?

Foods that are high in sugars (carbs) and/or fat will be poorly rated. This includes baked sweet products, candy, butters and oils, most cereals. Sticking to lean Proteins, vegetables and fruits will assist in making proper choices.

You learn something everyday!

Now that I am healed I eat 3 oz of solid Protein for lunch and dinner. I also have either raw veggies (sweet pepper, snap peas, stemmed mixed veggies) and small serving of fruit. Personally I don't worry about the carbs in plain veggies and fruit.

Thank you all!
