I think I've been a bad girl...

When I first had my surgery I was really good at keeping an online journal of my food intake. But lately I haven't been doing it. So today I decided to input everything I ate to see how it looked.

My results are:
Cals: 894
Carbs: 98 g
Protein: 98 g
Those are the only numbers I really look at when it comes to what I eat.

After seeing this I can not believe how horrible my Carb intake is! MAN! Is anyone else's carb intake this high only at 5 months out? I can't say that my Carb intake is like this everyday, just today.

And it hasn't caused any stalls for me, I am pretty steady at 2 pounds a week weight loss.

Just curious.

Oh and Happy 5 months my fellow September's!!

I just went to see my NUT last week and was telling her the exact same thing.  I was telling her that I can eat a lot more.  She was saying I have to eat more.  My metabolism is increasing because all of the exercise.  As for your Carbs are these good carbs like vegetables and fruits, and whole grains or are they bad carbs?  I actually think that you are doing fantastic.  If you are taking in bad carbs just change them into good and you will be fine.

Thank you so much for replying Asia!!

Omgosh, I didnt even think about the good vs. bad Carbs! I just see Carbs and spazz! lol

Lets see....what did I eat that had the Carbs...
Protein Drink (Click)
Beans
Bread (okay I know, BAD!)
Kashi Go Lean Cereal (Not sure if that is bad Carbs)

So I guess its not too bad.

I was told I didn't have to count carbs from leafy greens. But it's too much work to separate them out so I just count everything.

I am doing the following, so far, for the month of Feb:

............... Avg/Day ... Range
Calories: .... 850 .... 779 - 974
Carbs: ......... 40 g ..... 26 - 47
Fat: ............... 30 g .... 16 - 39
Protein: ..... 101 g ..... 80 - 112

My weight loss is like a stair-step with every other week being a 1 lb. loss, but my average is around 2-2.5 a week. I haven't stalled either.

I find have to watch my carbs because when I eat more of them, I start wanting more, but also because they make my overall calories for the day go too high.

But you are doing great, so I'd only worry about it if you think you are on a slippery slope with carbs.
