    It's a real eye-opener, isn't it!! Just goes to show that ignorance ISN'T bliss after all :wink:

    It's also quite enlightening to check in through the day to the "full report" available at the bottom of your food screen. Check out your sodium (recommended limit is 1500mg to 2400mg / day) and fibre (recommended intake is 25-35g / day) - I was amazed at how much I could affect those numbers once I was aware of them!! And I was already a pretty healthy eater in those categories!

    The first day I found this site my husband and I had a night out at Red Lobster. I ate over 3,000 calories just at dinner!!! I never realized before just how much I ate! Since finding this site, I've consistently stayed at 1,200 a day and drastically cut back on eating out. This place is a life saver--you'll really love it here! Welcome and enjoy!:drinker:
