Carbs and calories

[Rachgleeson]

I have just been wondering if anyone else has problems with using to many carb but not enough calories? I am trying to keep my calories up to my limit and my carbs down, but i am finding it hard to do! If anyone had any tips i would love to hear them!!

not really having probs with carbs but i am with protein

 

[Rachgleeson]

what problems you having with protein sall ?

 

[sallouise]

according to MFP i go over them most days and still cant get my cals up and feel like i have eaten loads today

 

[Rachgleeson]

a high protein diet is good, but how much over do you go? i sometimes go over with protein but not always

 

[sallouise]

some times by a lot but today i have checked and i am under. but somedays it can be loads over

what if your not hungry?
the last week i have eaten maybe 1-2 meals no snacks
had some pizza bread last night its was 3.2 grams of fat had 3 little bits than was full
i dont know about calories at all
but i know im not eating heaps of fat have had hardly any lately
the last week my meals have been low fat wraps with coleslaw and salad and a tiny amount of cheese

 

[Rachgleeson]

i dont know des, you need to keep your calories up hun, otherwise you will come to a stand still with your weight!! My fat is normally lower than 20g a day and definitely no more than 30!! I think it was 13g yesterday!!

I would be careful with MFP because I have had to edit so many items as the information is wrong

 

[booboocraig]

Rach make your MFP accessible to friends then if i can see what your eating will be able to help you !! I am always below my carbs

 

[Rachgleeson]

oh i didnt know it wasnt booboo, how do i do that? I have had to change a few things on there too, so i would be very often be sat here with my food containers checking everything, if anyone was to see me lol

 

[booboocraig]

go into settings and then into food and exercise diary settings....

as I said not all the info is right when you add foods so you can click on edit and then alter it

 

[Rachgleeson]

done it booboo, so you can go on and have a look if you want

 

[booboocraig]

will do Rach , then I can help you tinker around with your food lol

 

[Rachgleeson]

all help will be appreciated!! I'm no good when it comes to food ideas, and i dont eat alot of veg, i'd be more a salad person!!

 

[booboocraig]

always remember that most veg can be eaten raw...i love raw runner beans lol

 

[Rachgleeson]

the only raw veg i like is peas straight out the pod from my dads garden!!

 

[sallouise]

how do you edit MFP? i can find how to add cals in but it doesnt help with fat/carbs ect

 

[booboocraig]

go into database then put in what you want when it brings it up press edit and you can do calories, carbs, fat,protein,vitamins the lot

 

[sallouise]

cool thanks for that
