My Fitness Pal Food Nutrition Tracker



Recommended Posts

Free Calorie Counter, Diet & Exercise Journal | MyFitnessPal.com

This is a great free program for counting calories, carbs, Protein and fat consumed during the day. It's very easy. A lot of folks don't believe in tracking this stuff but it helps me plan my menu and get enough of what I need.

Once on regular foods how many of these do you get per day, or what is your daily goal?

calories ____

protein ____

carbs ____

fat ____

I LOVE MyFitnessPal, as I am a firm believer in keeping track of my calories & stuff. It helps me to stay on track because I can look at my day and see exactly what where I "went wrong" and hopefully not repeat it.

I currently have mine set to 1200 calories, 75 Protein, and it automatically put in 135 carbs. I don't track the other stuff.

I use MyFitness Pal too. I started using it about a month ago. I don't know if you have noticed how to changed the percentages but I adjusted mine to suit my body. Everyone is different. I require a lot more Protein according to my surgeon and less carbs to lose. So I currently have it set at 40% carbs 50% protein and 10% fat. I have my calories set at 1400 but rarely do I get that many. Keep in mind too that when you log your exercise it will add available calories for that day.

I hope you like it as much as I do. It has really helped me focus on what I am eating and how much I am exercising.:smile2:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
