I will probably most more later today but Stacey asked me break down the nutritional count of my food. When I do that....even though I have low calories...my diet looks pretty bad. I am out of fruit at the moment so until I go to the grocery I am lacking somewhat in that catagory. Here goes....
47 grams of Protein, 162 grams of carbs, 46 gram of fat, 86 mg of cholestral, 2967 mg of sodium, 14 grams of fiber, 16 gram of saturated fat, 516 grams of calcium. Does anyone know what you actually should be eating a day of each for a healthy diet ???? Help !!!!!!!
Anyway, that is the highs and lows of my diet yesterday. Interesting reading, huh?
Oh and does anyone know on this crazy blog where the spell check button is? If not...you will just have to forgive all the spelling and grammer errors !!!!!
I think on the back of many packaged foods near the bottom is usually the little graph thing that shows dietary needs of males and females. I don't have anything like that nearby me at the moment and feel too lazy to travel all the way to the kitchen to find something. : ) Anyway, a good idea to break down your food like that to see what you need more of.
ReplyDeleteLooks complicated, but sounds like a good idea to keep up with your food this way. It's shocking how the fat grams can add up. Keep up the good work and get into more of those skinny clothes!
ReplyDeleteHere is a handy little chart I found based on the amount of calories in your diet. I would say you definitely need more protein in your diet, it will help you feel full and feed your muscles. More fiber will also make you feel full. It is recommended you get 21g per day. Your calcium is low also...need 1200mg. I would also say your saturated fat is pretty high considering you only ate 1200 calories yesterday. Sodium is high also which is going to make you feel bloated.
ReplyDeleteNutrient Carbohydrates Fat Protein (Women)
Healthy Range 45%-65% 20%-35% 10%-35%
1200 calories 135-195 g 27-47 g *60-105 g
1500 calories 169-244 g 33-58 g *60-131 g
1800 calories 203-293 g 40-70 g *60-158 g
2100 calories 236-341 g 47-82 g *60-184 g
2400 calories 270-390 g 53-93 g *60-210 g
(the little * in reference to the protein is that this dietician does not recommend going below 60g of protein while dieting)
