Good carbs...bad carbs...protein???

Your sources of carbs seem fine aside from the cheerios which relative to other cold cereal aren't too bad. Everything else seems to be from sources that are not devoid of fiber. Easiest way to get more protein is to eat more meat. Also try eggs for breakfast a few times a week. You can also pre-cook some grilled chicken and chop it up to portion out for things like your wraps instead of using deli sliced meat or throw a slice or two of bacon in with it.

Fiber content is usually the biggest factor in what makes "good" or "bad" carbs. Refined carbs are typically devoid of any fiber to slow the absorption of glucose.

There are no good or bad carbs. Just carbs.

My ice cream is not a bad carb while my strawberries are good carbs. Track your calories, eat at a deficit and target your macros.

There are many options for adding protein to your daily regimen. Mix and match and experiment until you're happy.

Hanger or flank steak
Chicken breasts
Drumsticks

Assorted seafood

Yup This!!

Although a carb is a carb, certian carbs fall higher or lower on the G.I. and this effects your blood sugar.If there was no difference in the way carbs effect your body, then there wouldn't be specific diets for diabettic people. my opinion is that anything in moderation is ok as long as you don't have health issues that require specific diets.Is ice cream or a cookie going to kill you,, no..but if you eat tons of it every day, then thats a different story.

Lol, gonna bring up the glycemic index? You obviously haven't done much research on it then. The glycemic index was originally developed for diabetics. The way they tested foods for the glycemic index is they would feed someone a meal consisting of only that one food, and they would be fed that food in a fasted state and their blood glucose was monitored. How often do you eat a meal consisting of one single type of food, in a fasted state? For me, it's never. Research has shown that when you eat high glycemic index foods in a regular meal consisting of carbs, fats and protein, the glycemic index is basically washed out by the protein and fat, and this is true in a fasted state, and especially true in a fed state. Most people eat 1 meal a day in a fasted state, their first meal, and it's usually not consisting of a bunch of carbohydrates by themselves. The glycemic index is very misleading. Also, if you're eating at a deficit, the glycemic index is completely irrelevant because you won't be storing any fat at the end of the day anyway...

I have been going through the same thing. I have slowly started to lower by carbs and increase my fats and protein. So I started eating more fruit vegetables and salads and realized that I am more over on my carbs now than I was. I don't feel as worried about it now because most of my carbs are coming from fruits and vegetables but they are still higher than I want. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Also when logging my food sometimes for ease of logging, I will make a kale salad or smoothie and when logging it I will use something similar but usually made by a restaurant. I figure the calorie count is probably higher than what I actually ate.

I suggest taking the time to input all the ingredients of the salad or smoothie that you make at home to be more accurate, could give you some extra calories to eat. Just a suggestion. As for going over on carbs from fruits and vegetables, a lot of people will tell you "don't worry about it, fruits and veggies are good for you, eat as much of them as you want". While they are good for you because of the nutrient content, you still shouldn't go over your macro goal for carbs, because that means that you're not hitting your macro goal for fat or protein, or both, and carbs are the least important macronutrient for your body.

Maybe I am not as knoweldgeable as I should be,,but my point was , unless you have health issues, then don'y worry about it..carbs won't kill you..
