wed march 24 2010

I can't sleep so I may as well blog. wah.


lunch and dinner were eaten out

lunch: cabbage salad and kale with sweet potato sauce. I added a little apple to the sweet potato sauce and it was a winner.

dinner: big ole' salad with edamame and sesame-berry dressing.

My calories were kinda low so I had a little orange (1/2 small) and a carrot when I got home at 9:30 pm. I think I was hungry for it. I know when I'm really hungry, but otherwise I don't really know. So I guess I wasn't really hungry.

I'm running out of food and don't have time to go grocery shopping. I hope I can make it until Saturday morning with what I have. I'm stressed out about work and church stuff I guess, which is why I can't sleep. which of course will only make it worse tomorrow when I'm tired. Stress doesn't seem to have much useful about it. I try to fend it off most of the time but have not been succeeding lately.

Total calories today: 1379; protein 52 g (12%), carbs 224 (59%), fat 45 g (29%).

I am curious, why do you count your calories?
I thought eating this way, one didn't have to worry about calories?
I haven't counted my calories since I became a Nutritarian.
Do you find it necessary?
I realize one can overeat on nuts, and seeds, or whole grains. However, these are limited, and if following the plan you know you are not overeating them.

Hi Naina,

I sometimes get curious. Also I was overeating for a few weeks and this got me back on track. You are right--there is no need to count your calories. I also sometimes get curious about my nutrient intake, like how much vitamins and amino acids I'm getting. It's quite high! The cron-o-meter program tracks all that info.

What is the cron-o-meter program?
I too am very curious about nutrient intake. :)

Hi Naina,

Here's a couple of posts where I discuss the program and give a link. And you can see some interesting comments from other users of the program.
