so i read someones post about fitday and i decided to try it.  even though i thought i ate well today, with the acception of one or two slip ups, i realized i ate approximately 1540 calories which is shocking and semi horrifying to me as im trying to keep my calorie level at about 1000-1200 per day.  but when i look at my meals i cant quite figure out whats wrong.  also, according to fit day, tofu is much fattier than a grilled chicken breast, so i think ill drop the tofu from now on and just stick to the chicken breast.  other than that i guess i will watch the portion control, but im still not quite sure what i did wrong.  unfortunately its the weekend coming up which is always the worst food time for me, since its more unscheduled and more eating out.  nonetheless im really gonna try keeping up my workout and food plans this weekend. ill try fitday for a few more days to see what’s what, but if it gets too discouraging, i might just stop and start just judging my own food journals.

if anyone happens upon this, i have some questions:

-do you use fitday?  if so do you find it accurate and helpful?

-do you put EVERYTHING in it that you eat?

-what proteins do you find the leanest? (FYI i dont eat fish/seafood) so i have a feeling that answer’s chicken

- any tricks to maintaining a food plan between 1000-1200 calories a day???

much thanks!
