Re: the fitday default numbers.....
I wish I could blame my high numbers on that, but I can't.
I entered my food using the "custom food" option and typed in the info right from the package info box.
This is where I went wrong in my eating:
I had 2 bananas (1 was in the S-F pudding), which added up to 47 CARBS;
Then, I baked some peanut butter cookies for "the kids" and ate 3 of them when they were warm- right out of the oven. They added up to 48 CARBS. In my "pre-carb" days, I wouldn't have even noticed that I ate those cookies. I used to tell myself they didn't "count" since I didn't sit down and purposely eat them.
Then, I ate 2 servings of Sugar-Free Chocolate; which added up to 42 CARBS. (I couldn't eat "just one")
Then, I ate 4 servings (the whole box) of Sugar-free Jello Vanilla pudding made with lactose-free milk-- 2 cups. This added up to 48 CARBS. (I chopped up a banana in it, but I counted the banana under the "banana" listed above.
So, those 4 items added up to 185 CARBS.
If I hadn't eaten them, I would have totaled 33 carbs for the day.
I don't usually eat this many "sweet" things; I think I'm VERY PMS right now and my cravings are WILD.
However, that doesn't excuse what I've done-- only explains it.
For today, I'm switching to Sugar-Free Jello Gelatin to help "ween" myself away from the pudding.
I still can't figure out how to make my fitday journal show up at the end of each posting without having to type it in each time.
I tried making it my homepage in my profile, but it still didn't show up in the signature line. Any suggestions are welcome.
