Feb. 19 food

Given my condition described in the previous post, I didn't eat until 4:30 pm today.  Then I ate half a small smoothie.  I seemed okay so a couple of hours later I ate the other half.  I made a fruit salad for housemate, so ate half an apple and half a banana.  I still seem to be okay at 7:10 pm.  

I'm experimenting with the CRONometer program to track your nutrition intake.  Here is today's summary:











I put in my age, height, weight and activity level and it chose a calorie range of about 2400-3000.   The percentages are relative to target daily intake.  I'm not sure if I'm "active" or "low active" since I'm active for about 3 hours a day and inactive the rest.  I set my fat percentage to be 30% so the target is 80g.   I'm going to aim for about 2 oz of nuts and seeds and see what that comes out to be.   The pie chart at the right shows the protein/carb/fat fractions.  Today obviously I am way low on calories and low on fat.   I don't know if I can track this every day if it's too time consuming, but it will be interesting to do it for a little while.
