    Which one is Wentworth Miller? Although, I think both the brothers on Prison Break are hot..

    Ok Anyone have a suggestion for a challenge tomorrow? Maybe stay under your sugar for the day including from fruit. The max recommendation is 10% of your calories. I know that would be a challenge for me. Or eat 4-5 servings of veggies. What do you all think?

    Wentworth Miller is Michael Scofield. :love: :love:

    And I think that'd be a good challenge, staying under your sugar.
    he makes me happy :love: :blushing: lol....
    ok now where can u find sugar counts on things like fruits and what not?...because i only usually look at man made sugar type deals...

    Usually if you look up the fruit in the food database you can find the sugar stats.

    This one is definitely going to be a hard one for me! I usually only watch my sodium but I will switch it to sugar for the day.

    I have mine display sugar and sodium. This is going to be a hard challenge for me too. That's why I suggested it. :laugh:

    I know! I was going to have a sweet potato with cottage cheese for lunch and a nectarine for a snack but it put me over by 28g! :noway: Now, I'm having homemade enchilada and no nectarine.

    The way you calculate your max sugar is this: You calorie allotment * .10 = 10% of your calories. Now, 10% of your calories/4= max grams of sugar you should eat. MFP doesn't adjust your sugar intake. I think it is always 30, which is the max on a 1200 calorie diet. For those with a higher calorie, the max is a little higher.

    PS you could probably have spiced oatmeal. It's probably the raisins that have most of the sugar.

    Your max according to dietian.com is at least 30g unless your goal is less than 1200 cals, in which case you are in for a lecture.:tongue::laugh:

    lol well my goal is actually 1200 but i tend not to even come close because of exercise cals...but the thing is by the end of the day (Btw I munch throughout the entire day) I am usually stuffed and have only consumed anywhere from 800-1100 cals a day...i wonder if height matters as far as cals are concerned? :laugh:

    Is that 800-1100 calories before or after exercies? If it's after, I wouldn't stress. I'm not a proponant of eating all your exercise calories any way. If it's before, eat more calorie dense foods. And d@mn, I wish I could fill up that easily.... Of course, I'm 5'10" and 164 (yay down 1/2lb from last week) so my nutritional need are slightly higher than yours probably.:laugh:

    lol. Everyone wants what they can't have. I always wanted to be shorter. Most the guys I know are my height or a little shorter so I always felt HUGE in heels. Now, I'm just happy because I can eat more because I'm so bloody tall. :laugh:

    You should try changing one of your snacks to nuts (unsalted, you prolly felt icky from too much salt). They are really good for you and are pretty high in calories. Although, if you really want to know what you should be eating you can have you BMR tested. I think is is about $50 but the 1200 cal minimum is a generalization so it my not apply to you, shorty pants. :tongue:

    It's not silly. I do some thing similar in the afternoon. I have 1/2 a serving of walnuts around 130p, a serving of Almonds around 3p, and 1/2 a serving of brazil nuts after my workout on the way home. It comes to about 300 calories.

    I was going to reply 'no, it's on Thursday' but then I realized it was Wednesday. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    I've already planned out my meals and snacks for the day so I can track my sugar. :wink: I hate that you get more calories for exercising but your totals do not change, so 400 extra cals but no sugar left...:frown: :ohwell:

    Use the 10% of calories method. Then you get more sugar. :bigsmile:

    I don't think I could eat that much sugar in one day if I tried :sick: not to mention staying under my calories at the same time.....that would be a lot of blueberries....

    I wish I had that problem. My favorite fruits are bananas, mangos, apples, grapes, etc. All of them have really high sugar content. I used to eat about 100g/day mostly from fruit. Now, I've cut it down to about 60g/day by significantly reducing my fruit. Today, I'm at 43g exactly (my caloric max) and I'm thrilled.

    It's funny, now that I look back at my logs for the past couple weeks, I am generally right around 40-50g a day....(sometimes over, but that's only when I have a frappacino, an apple AND a giant orange sorbet bar in the same day....:wink: ) but I still can't imagine 130g of sugar and staying under my cals.:indifferent:

    Kityngirl- That's the horrible part. I would eat about 90-100g/day at be under my calories but the sugar was all from things with a low calorie content. A banana only has 90 calories but 12g/sugar or an apple only has 80 calories but 17g of sugar. My moring snack of three peices of fruit generally only had 200 calories but 36g of sugar that's almost my entire allotment for the day.

    hasiangirl- I cut out my fruit today too. :sad: :sad: :sad: (I like that it is syncronized crying :bigsmile: )

    Good morning all,

    OOOhh I think I'm failing today. I have had a yogurt and granola bar with my standard 2 coffees for breakie and for lunch... get ready... I have a pepporoni stick, 2 Light Laughing cow cheeses, 3 cups of watermelon, 2 cups of honeydew melon, a red plum and a granny smith apple... giggles. I don't even want to look at the sugar levels....:noway:

    How on earth are you that low? An apple alone has 17g.

    You can change your goals display so it shows your sugars as well.

    I just checked and the watermelon listed on this site does not factor in sugar, nor does the honeydew... so it's NOT 29g which I found LOW. :tongue:
