Ok, big problem with Calories here

nbh101 Posts: 39 Joined: 2002/01/27	2002/02/24, 08:09 PM Here's what I had today: Cereals, oats, regular and quick and instant, without fortified, dry, (oats) 1 cup Low Carb Isopure, Chocolate, Whey Protein 0.5 serving Milk, nonfat, fluid, with added vitamin A (fat free or skim) 8 fl oz Vegetable juice cocktail, canned 1 cup Carrots, baby, raw 15 medium Cheese, cottage, nonfat, uncreamed, dry, large or small curd 1 cup Egg, white, raw, fresh 1 1 large egg white Egg, whole, raw, fresh 1 1 large Peas, edible-podded, raw 1 1 cup, whole Coffee, brewed, prepared with tap water 4 cup (8 fl oz) Chili with beans, canned 2 cup I thought this seemed like a pretty healthy day. Boy was I wrong....only 1400 calories?? I need 2600, and that's to lose weight. When I figured this up I had to mix up an emergency 1.5 serving of protein shake to add an extra 500 calories and 75g of protein. heh What am I doing wrong? Got any suggestions? I have been pretty much stuffed eating all this stuff throughout the day! Thanks! Nate

I thought that I was eating good to begin with as well and I was wrong, but by paying attention to what you eat will make you conscious and help you along. It took me about a week to get my combination right and you don't have to be totally on the number as long as you stay within a good percentage difference. Let us know how you progress with your diet.

I found this one: www.nutrawatch.com and that's what I used yesterday. I'm going to use it this week to tune what I eat throughout the day until I get things right, then I won't be so anal about it. lol
