Daily Caloric/fat/carb Intake
Posted: 08-04-06 14:07pm

I went to fitday.Com and checked my stats for the day. I was totally shocked. I figured that following stan's diet was only getting me around 1,000-1,200 calories per day. Wrong! I have been feeling good and dropping weight on 1,791 calories a day!!! I'm in shock.
Here is what I input: results: calories fat
27 almonds, unroasted 187 16
8 oz ground turkey 385 22
4 cups squash, summer, fresh 143 02
5 tb olive oil 597 68
4 cups romaine 22 0
2 large whole boiled eggs 154 11
2 large whole eggs, omelet 185 14
.5 avocado, raw 118 11
total: 1791 144
74% of my daily intake is from fat, 6% carbs, 20% protein. Of course I change up the protein, vegetable and nuts from day to day. I was really shocked. I have really dropped 2 entire clothing sizes (nearly 3) and I have been eating with this plan now for 10 weeks as of tomorrow.

The only thing in there that looks off to me is the fat for the turkey - I could not select white meat turkey only. I don't think the white meat organic ground turkey I purchase has that much fat.

The site is www.Fitday.Com. It is free and allows you to track your daily in take, and allows for personal food modifications.

Thanks stan for proving that it is the quality of calories and not just the quantity that makes a difference!!!

The good thing about fat is that the calories are more energy packed than carbohydrates, so it's actually very good for you if your carbohydrate intake is low.

I bet you are eating so many more because you have more meals per day than I have. I'm 5 a day and sometimes 6 a day depending on how late I stay up.
I think it is a great site to help keep things in check.

I went on fitday.Com and my stats were calories: 1552 fat: 115 carbs: 69 protein: 72. I think I have to work on the carb/protein ratio.
