2000 calorie menus

kirby00 Posts: 238 Joined: 2002/11/05	2003/03/24, 07:02 PM Anyone know of a good resource to find menus based on daily caloric intake? Perhaps some of you have already created one or a have a good food journal with calories? I'm helping a friend get to a happy weight and know the weight training/cardio parts...but not the dieting part! (BTW - I know that ft has the tracking and calorie list by food but I'm looking for a lazy way out...you know, no need to re-invent the wheel...) Many thanks in advance for your help :) -Krb

If you know what you are supposed to have according to those nutrients you can convert it to calories for your info. P=4 cal C=4 Cal F=9 Cal Hope this helps. -------------- Peace on earth Ivan Montreal Canada

I'm hoping to use others' menus and modify them to get in my range (P=150g, C=300g, F=30g - approx.). I don't currently track what I eat and haven't really had luck with food journals. -Krb
