I am doing my monthly shop online and have used these days to plan what I am going to be eating. does this look well balanced and healthy to you guys? what can i do to improve it?
thank you

Obviously your calories are fine. Personally I'd go for a lot more fresh fruit and vegetables but plenty of people seem to survive without them.0

You haven't logged any water did you forget to log it , or have not been drinking it.
maybe try for less sugar and more veg but include a variety of veg and different colors so you get a good assortment of nutrients.
and try to add some fish once or twice a week or take fish oil supplement0 -
cause its in the future! lol this is what i've planned to eat next week (unless everybody screams at me its no good! lol)
i'll log the water as i drink it on the 19/20th
thanks guys!0 -
i am wondering why my diary doesnt keep track of sugars i heard sugars are important to keep track of how do i get mine to track sugars to??0

I agree with PinkMiny on the water and sugar. Carbs are my enemy, I try to have enough, but not over do it. I like how your trying to get your metabolism going by eatting throughout the day.
I suggest to mix up your meals one week at a time (if you can). Try and find foods that your body reacts to, it sucks to eat the same thing but once you find out what works you'll see the result quickly. The food my body reacts to is tuna; I eat a can of tuna almost everyday and am seeing the reward.
I think your on the right track keep it up!

Hi there!
To track sugars, go to Settings (under My Home), then Diary Settings. You can change your the nutrients you're tracking there.
Hope that helps!0 -
try eating your calorie allowance on gym and non gym days. these calories are hwat you are allowed to eat so enjoy them (: i've read alot of blogs recently that say that people have been loosing more weight by eating their daily reccommended calories.
If lower calorie than your recommended is working then stick to that. I'd suggest eating more protein rich foods like meat, eggs, fish, cottage cheese, beans, pulses, nuts and seeds. They will build lean muscle and you'll be burning fat by going to the gym at the same time!
Good luck! (:0 -
Hi There, I would suggest more protein if you are going to the gym. I like to keep carbs and protein balanced at 40% each. Feel free to look at my diary (i think its public!) I am not saying that it is perfect or anything by any stretch of the imagination!
Good luck and well done for planning!0 -
On the food tab, you go settings and add sugar to your food diary.0

It looks pretty well balanced to me, and if it's what you enjoy that's great.
Yoghurt can also be a great extra snack, the fat free variety, I find them handy to have in. I also tend to drink chocolate soya milk after working out although I do drink dairy milk as well.
Maybe some peppers in the stir fry. I tend to stock up on frozen peppers and mushrooms to add to stuff like this, I can't remember which supermarket does it but they do frozen stir fry mix. Great to see you have spinach and cabbage in though.
But it's all about what works for you, you seem to have plenty of veg in, always good to snack on fresh fruit though although I never trust it when ordering online.0 -
I am tracking sugar too. You can edit your settings by going to account settings (top of page), then click diary settings. Here you can personalize what you track as well as change your meals/snacks if you like.0
