Fitday.com Is Alsome

I finally did it. I have heard so many of you talk about it. Trust me it is worth the shot. It told me so much about my eating habits. If you havent tryed it. It is worth looking into. I am eating to many carbsI am up to 50 already today. How many carbs is okay a day Thanks Barb

I figured my day out and included my snacks and drinks for tonight.Totals (calories 1147) (total Fat 22) (Total Carbs 120 ) (Total protein 124 ) I think I am getting to much Carbs and to much protein. What do you guys think ? And are my calories to high? Thank you Barb

Barb, I've been using fitday.com since about 1 month post-op. It's been great for me to see where I stand as far as protien intake. Being a life-time weigh****cherI also know, it keeps you honest! The nutritionist I've seen since surgery suggested the following: (Please keep in mind, every MD and nutritionist will say something different about optimum intake post-WLS) Calories: 1000-1200 Fat: 30-35 gm Total Carb: 75-125 gm Dietary Fiber: 25-30 gm Protien: 60-100 gm These are my one-month averages, and I've lost 75 pounds since 9/13/05: Calories: 1100 Fat: 46 gm Total Carb: 79 gm Dietary Fiber: 8 gm Protien: 91 gm I find it difficult to get in more fiber, and eat less fat..the need for protien out weighs that! I'm seeing a new nutritionist tomorrow. She comes well recommended, with over 5 years experience with WLS patients. I'll let you know if she tells me any different. Good Luck, and keep it up with fitday. I also log in my exercise, keeps me motivated! Linda R

THANK YOU This gives me a ideal. I am so glad I am doing this. It also got me more motivated. And I am watching my foods better. Thanks Barb

Hi Barb, I think that might be helpful to me, as well!! Do you log what you eat at the end of the day (track it on paper??) or just as you eat it?? donna

Donna, It is great. You can log it on paper and put it in at the end of the day. If you dont work just put it in as you go. You can also put it in small portions. Like if it is 1/3 of a cup put in .33 or if it is and 1/8 put in .8 . It really is a good way to keep track of your foods. You can always add food that are not listing and put the calories in there. Have a great day Barb
