I posted this in the general food section of the site but thought i would put it here too for my fellow Aussies..

CalorieKing has some good food ideas, i joined up and finally made my way around the site, but you can make up your own menus with their suggested food and it counts the calories for you so basically after you put in your details it calculates what your calory intake should be and works it from there.

EG: (First number is cals, 2nd is Kj)

Food Total Cals kJ

Day Total 1237 5161

This is an example when i was playing around trying to figure it all out.. Then at the bottom after all that it says:

You have used 1237 out of your net daily budget of 1470 calories and have 233 calories remaining. 17% of the calories are from fat, 29% from Protein, 54% from carbs and 0% from alcohol.

Anyhow i thought it was great and helps when making those choices of what to eat to ensure you arent eating too much or too little..

thanks Shell,

I'm being banded on Monday so this will give me something to investigate next week.

Danna

Ohh Danna, Good luck for your surgery..

Another thing i just remembered on the site.. If you dont like their suggested menus and want something else.. say Tuna you go to the navigation bar on the right and type in "Tuna" then it will give you the menu ideas for Tuna.. THen you choose if you want it for breaky, lunch, dinner or snack..

It take a bit to get the gist of the site, when i clicked on something nothing happenedthen when i went to the menu for the day i realised i had 4 serves of the same meal for lunch.. hahaha soo just clicking once ads it to your menu.. Dont forget to save each section otherwise you will lose it..

I figured it out in the end, it may have been cos it was late or im just thick.. lol you will get there, just click on anything and eventually you work it out..

Best of luck for monday, will be thinking of you..
