RED HIGH HEELS GROUP(WEEK 1&1/2)

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.

And I think that'd be a good challenge, staying under your sugar.

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 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.

yea MFP told me i can only had 24grams of sugar :sad: lol i guess i have to only have one fruit today... and max out my veggies *sighs* i never realized how many sugars are in everything lol

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.: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:

before :ohwell: lol but i figure if im not hungry and eating every 2 hours whats it matter right? lol...although last week i reached my calories and went over...but noticed every day of the week i felt sick and bloated...lol i wish i could be 5'10 lol *Is stuck at a whole foot shorter than u* lol...4'10 :sad:

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.

lol yea i always strut around in 5 inch heels :laugh: so i can kinda have height...lol although its somewhat artificial :laugh: :laugh: ... but i do eat seasalted nuts...but i eat 1/3 of a serving if i have them every hour until lunch time...so it goes something like this, breakfast at about 7:30am ... 1/3 of snack at 8:30 am 1/3 at 9:30am and 1/3 at 10:30am...lunch 11:30am...lol god now that just seems silly looking at it haha

Hey gals! Sorry to lose touch, I've been out of town. Hope everyone is doing well! Weigh in is tomorrow right?

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. 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....

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: )
