Got a question....

I know I'm supposed to have 60 grams of Protein a day at least. But is there somewhere I can find out how much things are worth? Like, say I have a chicken breast, how much is that? Does my question make sense? Like a food calculator of sorts. I know that I can get protein info off packaging but some things don't have that kind of info....can anyone help me?

Thanks

Katie, check out fitday.com. It's free. It will also help you keep track of how much you're eating and exercising daily.

Fitday is good for stuff like that (as said above). Tons of people use it. I personally don't log every day, but when I want to see how I'm doing I log for three days without making any special extra effort during those days. I do this so that I can try and make new habits without being aware of everything I eat at every moment, you know?

Great info Leatha, I printed it out too. Is this the only thread you've listed that on? I think it would be great info to have centrally located. I'm going to have a look at fitday.com too.

Thanks, Leatha! I needed that info. I printed it out to hang on my fridge and then I also shrunk it down and printed and laminated it for a wallet size.

      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?

      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.
