As long as you are healthy, satisfied with your body and all your girlfriends like it, why worry

Breakfast this morning

2 veggie sausages - 160 calories, 50 from fat
1 egg friend in olive oil - 80 calories egg - estimate 30 from oil that came to plate on the egg - total 75 from fat (45 egg, 30 oil)

total 270 calories, 125 from fat - 7 grams of carbs

You might want to eat tuna in moderation. Being a BIG fish that hangs around the oceans for quite awhile and devours other smaller fish, tuna is more likely to have mercury in it than little fish such as sardines (buy the water packed kind) or farm raised fish.

Mike's breakfast this morning was 3 strips of turkey bacon (not sure of the diet properties of it ~ but certainly a healthier choice than regular bacon), a swiss cheese (1 slice) and Egg Beaters (1/2 cup at 40 calories) omelet.

I really hope he gets a satisfactory weight loss number after his first week

Eggs are my friends too, Roni!

Having another serving of the chili I described last night. The serving size is 1 cup.

Had 170 cals of cheese (95 from fat, 2 grams of carbs) for a morning snack. Puts me at 24 grams of carbs for the day so far.

Tonight we are going to have a romaine lettuce, tomator, avocado, bell pepper assorted other veggie salad with about 5 ounces of baked salmon on each of our salads, and some wine and mebbe a rum and diet coke or two.

Having the Turkey and White bean chili from the SBD Quick and easy cookbook (P. 196, I think), except we are using black beans and chicken breasts.

260 cals, 15 net grams of carbs per serving. I did more than the tablespoon of olive oil, so we're probably up to 300-350 cals and a bit more grams of fat than the nutritional analysis says.

roni · 04-25-2008

We had this salad

romaine lettuce, tomato, artichoke hearts (in water), avocado, salmon, creamy dressing - I looked all the component parts up on the USDA data base.

Came up to 591 calories, 39.5 grams of fat, 13 grams of carbs.

Not too shabby.

True enough...and if you eat tuna..get the stuff that is packed in water...and don't get albacore....it is typically bigger with higher mercury content...get light tuna.

Aslo two glasses of Spanish Garnacha and two rum and diet cokes this evening - and may have another rum and diet coke

Roni, have you ever seen The Daily Plate? A tracking website for logging in all your meals. You can look up individual foods (most all brand and store brands are already listed) and you can create meals with individual items that you eat often. Or if you use a recipe and all you have is the counts for it (cals/fat/protein/carbs) you can enter that in to create a custom food. It had a bit of a learning curve for me, but then I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer. But now that most of the foods I eat regularly are on there, it's a breeze.

Just wondering since you mentioned using the USDA website.
