| The popcorn that I use is Smart Balance. I don't put anything on it though.
The only other thing that I snack on is apples.
I use a program called Diet Organizer. You can find it at: dietorganizer.com
I think that I paid $30 for it. Until I started using this, I knew NOTHING about calories. I've learned a lot about them since. Go and check out the program because I rant and rave about it all the time. I could NOT do this without this program. It's a VERY good investment. It even charts your exercise, tells you how many carbs, protein, fats you've had each day. It's great! I love it.
On one of the reports from that program, I averaged for the past 5 days the
following:
Carbs: 34%
Protein: 43%
Fat: 22%
I'll try to find something for all of you regarding the fats.
The carbs that I eat do NOT include: white bread, white potatoes, white rice, or pasta. I also have to limit the "greens" due to being on Coumadin.
Just a point to make here: don't go eating a whole bunch of big green salads because they are Vitamin K and that helps your blood to clot! I don't think anyone want to end up with a blockage somewhere!
The protein that I eat is mainly the "extra vanilla soy milk" in a GNC protein drink. Anyone interested I can give the specifics on it. I eat a bowl of cereal (ONE serving) of either Atkins cereal or Hi-Lo - that also with the same milk.
For lunch I eat, 2 egg beaters, a piece of Ezekiel bread with raisin, and another Protein drink.
For supper, I eat a piece of chicken, or fish, or veal cutlet, maybe a good filet steak about every couple weeks - all this no bigger than my hand - and that's stretching it!
I do eat an occasional sweet potato. They are good for you.
Good luck everybody - since the 1st of October, I have gone from 144 to 124.5 lbs just from cutting out the carbs I listed above. |
