The Daily Plate
 
I just signed up.

Any tips for making the most of it? I tend to not follow through with these things...

I like to use it the day before and input everything that I'm planning on eating the next day, so that I can see where I should make adjustments to my plan. Then, if I go off plan, that night I just go back and fix it for what I really ate and I can see how it affects my carb/protein/fat ratio and my calories and whatnot. Usually it keeps me more on track to see how good I'm giong to do if I stay on plan, than to input everything after I eat it.

Every night I plan out my meals and then as the day goes on I edit what I eat. I make it a daily routine and stick to it. I also use it to monitor things like fat intake, sugar, and potassium, because I try and keep those within certain ranges.

I've been using it since July and I am practically hooked. I put everything in as I go, it is always a treat to see my allowed calories for the day zoom up after I input my exercise. :D It definitely helps keep me OP.

I use The Daily Plate everyday. It is so helpful!

angelanicole23 10-25-2008 06:06 PM

ok so according to my friday's weight, 144.5..and height/age/activity level ( I chose moderate) ....for me to lose 2lbs a week I need to eat 1447 a day....I've always used the weight watcher points but wondering if i should say scrap that altogether and just calculate calories from now on..hmm.....any suggestions?

jahjah1223 10-25-2008 08:31 PM

Whats the daily plate?:o

garstar 10-26-2008 02:28 PM

Angel - do you know how many calories you were eating on WW points?

I personally think it's whatever works best for you! Try one one week, and the other the next, and see what suits you maybe?

angelanicole23 10-26-2008 05:52 PM

nope garstar...but some things that are about 50 calories are one pt...and I can eat 20 pts..the pts also depend on how much fibre/fat..the more fibre/less fat the lower the pts...but I am wondering that if some days my 20 pts are not meeting the required calories...

angelanicole23 10-27-2008 08:28 PM

hmmm.....so today I happened to eat 23 pts instead of the 20 I am supposed to eat..and on the daily plate it says I still have 168 calories...I am kind of confused and wondering if I should give up following the points and just do the calories..any opinions??
