Hi, I was just wondering if anyone here is a nutritionist because I would love it if they could look at my food diary and tell me if I could do anything to make it better. I'm a bit worried, because according to MFP, most days I go overboard in my carbs and sugars, and also I barely eat any cholesterol, I just feel my diet is a bit unbalanced.:smile:

    lol.. naw were all a bunch of unofficial nutritionists.

    you will hear a bunch of varied opinions, even amont professional nutritionists there is constant debate... just eat sensibly and in moderation and make sure you eat a blanced about of carbs proteins and fats relative to your bodyweight while hitting micronutrient goals thru whole foods such as fresh veggies and fruit.

    Can you get a referral from a doctor? It's fine to ask, but in life we tend to get what we pay for. A professional nutritionist or dietitian, like everyone else, needs to earn a living.

    Are you a vegetarian? I looked at your diary and see no real protein sources...not even from plants.

    You should be eating a more balanced diet....with carbs fat and protein. I would recommend you do some reading on nutrition, even use a meal plan outline such as Weight Watchers or the Zone or Paleo or something just to get started.

    Cholesterol is not generally something you should be tracking until you get the main dietary components in some sort of balance.

    Get a referral from your doctor and you will get undivided attention with a nutritionist who will work with you and give you a plan to follow. Been there and done that. Wish I had listened :(

    Keep eating at that calorie level and you'll need an ER Physician.

    ^^ This. Eat more. My 8 year old son needs almost twice what you're eating.

    Nutrition is a very grey area...moderation is key. Seriously, eat some cholesterol
    Woah, your diary scares me...I hope you aren't into that 80/10/10 nonsense
