Calories w/o sugar- help?

gallagg1

I have consistently gone over on my protein and sugar, but come in under on calories and a tiny bit under in fat. Today most of my sugars came from fruit, but I have a hard time coming up with how to find a balance and get my caloris up a bit without going too far over on sugar or protein. Any ideas?

I like adam's no stir creamy peanut butter. 6 g carbs, but only 1g of sugar. It has protein, of course, but you're probably fine going over a little on protein.

I just met with a Nutritionist for the first time and she said I needed to add 2-3 fruits to my daily diary. I asked her about all the sugar in them (I'm pre-diabetic) and she said look for the fruit with the most fiber and to maybe eat half a portion of fruit instead of the whole thing. I've said many times in the past 8 weeks that I wish there were a "calorie bar" with nothing else in it. I'm low on calories every single day. Since I'm losing weight and inches, I'm just going to keep on doing it the way I have been. Good luck to you!

Since I eat a lot of fruit, I don't ever worry about going over on the sugar.

Add more fat to your meals in the form of creamy dressings, butter, olive oil, or cheese. If you're under on fat, then it shouldn't be a big deal, and it will give you a good calorie boost. Fresh mozzarella with olive oil (and some balsamic if I can spare it) is an awesome snack, for example. Since fat has 9 calories per gram, a little goes a longer way than protein, when you're under on calories.

Surely Sugar Day is over now?
