A Day of Food

Okay, once again, I tried step by step to copy the webpage, and it wouldn't let me, so I am again going with a screen shot taken by my digital camera. Since the image isn't perfectly clear, I will also list the results.

My diet today consisted of

Breakfast :

1 cup of regular coffee

1 bowl of fruit oatmeal

Lunch :

1 small grilled steak

vegetable pasta salad

water

Snack :

1 piece of marble cake

Dinner:

popcorn chicken

tater tots

water

I had a total intake of 1640 calories. Calories from fat were 860. My total fat was the only high area, at 148% of the recommended daily allowance. Saturated Fat 85%

Trans Fat 0g

Cholesterol 37%

Sodium 98%

Carbohydrates 44%

Dietary Fiber 32%

Protein 68g

Vitamin A 6%

Vitamin C 25%

Calcium 15%

Iron 40%

I think today's diet was fairly decent, although I am obviously lacking in my vitamin intake. I know the total fat was a little high. I confess that's due to stopping at Sonic for dinner tonight, which fortunately, is a rare occasion. I normally am a big milk drinker but was on the go all day today and didn't drink my milk at all. I would normally not eat fast food, my husband and I try to cook our dinners at home. I need to add more fruits and vegetables to my diet. I had no vegetables today other than what was in the pasta salad, and no fruit other than the dried strawberries in my oatmeal. I think this type of tracking is beneficial because it lets you see which areas that you are taking in excess amounts, and which areas are lacking.
