My daily food intake

Nykee,

I would encourage you to begin logging the grams of Protein, fat, and carbohydrates you are eating. A good way to do this might simply be to visit nutritiondata.com and enter the name of the foods you frequently eat so that you can learn about their nutritional value. I have found this to be very helpful to me as I have changed several of the items in my fridge. Remember: a gram of Protein is 4 calories, and a gram of carbohydrate is also 4 calories, a gram of fat is 9 calories. The calories of a typical diet should be composed of 20% calories from protein, 20% from fat, and 60% from carbohydrates.

You and I like the same kinds of foods; unfortunately, they don't provide us with the quality nutrition that hotties like us need. Play with your food a little more: try sushi, have a Bocca dinner, experiment in the kitchen. The point is that there are lots of wonderful foods that taste great and are super nutritious. By the way, I noticed that neither of us are eating much. This means that every bite needs to be that much more nutritious. There's just a little room for junk in our stomaches (and I usually try to fill mine with vodka).

I love milk. It is one of my favorite foods. Sadly, unless the milk is skim it brings a lot of fat into our diets. Now fat is not a bad thing - unless it hangs over your belt or keeps you from seeing your toes, but as we all know too much of a good thing is bad. Also, watchout for the cheese. It is another personal favorite, but I have switched to mozerella and cut back because there is just too much fat in cheese. Saturated fat should be avoided and anything hydrogenated is a big no-no. A good rule of thumb regarding hydroginated fat is, if its baked and crispy look out! (think oreos, many chips, snack foods)

Everything I eat comes from a can or a box. Most everything in a bag is junk - so be cautious. If you ever find yourself sitting on a couch in the dark with a bag, run. The bag is a suave lover who first warms your heart but leaves you with stretchmarks. As for the box and can, they're not the best either, but lets face it - we wouldn't eat anything we did cook anyway, right?

Enjoy your food, get some Vitamins, balance your diet, and keep up the fantastic work.

Congrats on your weight loss. I just wanted to mention that my docotor said the only cream Soup to avoid is Tomato, that is because it has so much hidden sugar in it. When I am on liquids I warm up regular tomato juice and spice it up with hot sauce and italian sesonings and it taste great. Also if you like milk especially choc. try hoods carb countdown. It is 90% lower in sugar and actually tates very good. Keep on with the awesome weight loss.

>>>>>>>I know this like second nature.. I dont really need to keep track anymore.. I mean I need to, but I just take a look and I know pretty close to what it is.. Calories, fat and carbs that is..

it takes me a long time to log it all on fitday, so I just come here sometimes to list what I had so I have a record I can look back on...
