Q: Daily Caloric/fat/carb Intake
asked by: mendigoodwin on August 4th, 2006

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.

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.
