Learning to Balance

sara · 04-05-2004, 02:11 PM

This journal is going to help how to balance my meals and eat healthy.. I will still count my fat and protein intake and leave the carbs uknown-- but carbs will be healthy carbs same with fats.. All comments are welcomed

I will post my meals for today and notice my first two meals are not balanced at all.. they high in fats and processed cereal
Tomorrow's meals would be better..

* This week, I will be avoiding all dairy, meat, products due to last week of lent.. starting next week (sunday) I will go back to eating cheese/eggs/lean meat

* My goal is to maintain my weight and build up muscles that would help to reduce my Body fat and waist

Sara, don´t try to take away all the saturated fats.
Drink fat-milk

Jill · 04-06-2004, 03:58 PM

Isnt it less stressful NOT counting macros?

atherjen · 04-06-2004, 04:33 PM

Why do you and I keep bothering? That is the question.

nikegurl · 04-06-2004, 04:44 PM

hey sara.....calling it balanced isn't what makes it balanced. when you look over the meals for the day yourself do you think they look balanced? can you see how very low in carbs you are?

c'mon sara - try it "our" way and see what happens.

sara · 04-06-2004, 05:12 PM

I'm having tummy problems lately, eating carbs seems to make it worse.. after my tummy is ok, I will increase my carbs

Jill- is actually more stressful for me when I don't count, because I feel like I'm eating more or eating less

Vieope- I can't drink milk now.. no dairy, meat till Easter Sunday
