Help Evaluate My Diary!!!

Sir,your diary is filled with absolute crap..have you ever heard of a vegetable? your sodium levels are through the roof,and most importantly,you had poptarts the other day. poptarts are a dirty,dirty food. Shame.

Try to think about the snacks you eat. Your "small" bowl of cereal added up to 330 calories! Try eating carrots, a small

handful(15ish) of almonds, popcorn( 20cal per cup). Don't eat out at all! If you have to eat out then don't go somewhere and get

Mexican or Italian heavy, fatty try Subway salads. Good Luck!

You are losing 1-1.5 lbs a week? What is it you want to change?

I was going to say the same thing. You are eating ALOT of sugar and very little fiber and vegetables. I know how hard it is when a person is busy to not go thru the drive thru every day. I admit I do it often as I work two jobs. And there are not a lot of healthy foods that you can eat on the run. A salad takes time to eat. And you have a generous calorie allowance as opposed to people like me where we get 1350. And having that many calories makes it easier to indulge. I say indulge but cut it down to one or two treats a day. I TRY emphasis on try to build my meals around a healthy protein then add something with as much fiber as possible (think whole grains only if it is a carb) and then fill in the blanks with vegetables. And I give myself an allotment of treats but again with fiber. I really like the coconut bars as even though they have sugar they also have a pretty high fiber content. So it is guilt free Almonds are a great snack. And someone said something about eating breakfast and this is true. I see you like eggs. One of my favorite breakfasts is some eggs on a piece of 100% whole wheat toast. Since you can eat more calories you might like 3-4 eggs and 2 slices of toast. And a piece of fruit. VERY VERY satisfying. Good Luck!

(also I recently started packing my meals in a frozen lunch box. I make salads the night before and pack the dressing on the side, along with snacks like low fat string cheese, fruit and almonds and fat free yogurts, my other go too is sandwiches that I bring from home. I just put the pickles and veggies in a separate baggie so nothing gets soggy. HTH)

Why are you eating 5 and 6 ice creams at once?? Weight Watcher ice creams are good in moderation, but if you are eating the whole box then it defeats the purpose.

You are not eating any breakfast, need to kick start your metabolism.

How much water are you drinking?

How much exercise are you doing?

Avoid any thing out of a packet that has more than 2 ingredients because it will be so refined that your body will absorb it too quickly

I just don't have time for breakfast, unless it's a donut or a McMuffin.
I used to drink just water, but I have become addicted to Diet Coke, so maybe 16 ounces a day.
I am just doing cardio 3 days a week right now and light lifting one day until my elbow and shoulder heals.

It takes less time to grab an apple and a clif bar or something like that from your house than to go sit in a drive thru for a breakfast sandwich hardly made of real food.

I think you need to add more vegetables and fruits to your diet. Also, you should eat a healthy breakfast. Anything multi-grain is great, whole wheat bread, brown rice, etc and it will fill you up. Lean meats, like chicken or fish are good to stick with also. I would also suggest not eating too much fast food. Drink lots of water and exercise more often.

Here is a recipe from my blog that is SUPER FAST and you can prepare it in advance.

"Faux Tuna Salad Sandwich"

Calories: 200 Fat: 3g Carbs: 19g Protein: 20g Servings: 1 open-face sandwich

Ingredients:

1/2 can (2oz.) tuna
5 sprigs of fresh parsley cut up
onion powder
black pepper
1 Laughing Cow Light Swiss wedge
1 slice whole wheat toast (no high fructose corn syrup-make sure you check!!)

Optional:
-thin sliced celery
-diced onions
-tomato slices
-lettuce
-whatever you imagine!

This is super simple. Drain the tuna. In a small bowl, combine tuna, seasonings, and cheese spread. You can add a small amount of milk if it needs to be wetter. For your bread, there are many options. I like to spread a tiny amount of olive oil on the griddle and toast over low heat (250-300), but a toaster will work fine. Or you don’t have to toast the bread at all. You can premake the tuna mix and store it in the fridge for a couple days. Substitute canned chicken if you hate tuna.



You can look at my diary if you want. I eat a lot of healthy every day, and some treats too!

As was said already, if you want to be healthy, you should eat better foods. If you want to lose weight, you just need to consume less calories a day than your body burns a day, on average. I'm surprised that you have a daily goal of 3000 calories..that seems like a lot for someone who is trying to lose weight. Is this the number MFP suggested for you, and did you adjust it when you lost weight?

Sir,your diary is filled with absolute crap..have you ever heard of a vegetable? your sodium levels are through the roof,and most importantly,you had poptarts the other day. poptarts are a dirty,dirty food. Shame.

But they were fruit flavored Pop Tarts.

just because they r fruit flavored doesn't mean they r good for u or mean they r fruit. Its pure sugar. I'm up at 4 am in the morning and still eat breakfast every morning. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Oh ya get rid of the pop diet or not its not good for u. If u need the caffiene then try green tea. It has natural caffiene and it Provence to help u loose weight naturally. Also snack wise add so fresh veggies it cuts out some of your sugars. I cant my diet and started working out about 3.5 weeks ago then about a week ago started using this app again to help track my food better. I'm down 19 pounds so far and I'm far from starving myself I eat healthy and space my eating all through the day. Plus I added vitamins to my daily diet I feel so much better and I have way more energy. I lost 7 more pounds since I stared tracking on here and planning my food for the day before hand.

All I did was look at one day at the macros and noticed...

1) your sodium. Way to high. I guess everyone has different opinions on sodium but I dont like sodium. To me sodium means more processed. I keep my sodium under 1200 a day. A good way to avoid sodium, avoid packaged/canned foods.

2) WAY too much sugar (my goal is 24g!)

3) even more WAY to much fat. (my goal is like 30g)

4.) CRAZY amount of carbs. I try to keep mine under 150.


As for kellogs, try some thing whole grains like oatmeal. White carbs are not nearly as good for you as brown carbs...

The weigh watcher bars... all that weight watcher/skinny cow stuff is crap! Look at the ingredients! so processed.
