Guest guest Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 Kate, Thank you! I'm trying to put what the three of you (You, , and ) have said and make some sense out of it. Two eggs then equals 14 grams, right? And for every ounce of other protein, like tuna or beef, I subtract 7 grams for every ounce? So 4 ounces of protein would equal 28 grams? And 1 oz. of Mozzarella is 7 grams as well? Am I getting this right, I hope? Jemmi *_* says that 7 grams = 1 oz. of protein. So 220 grams divided by 7 grams per ounce comes out to about 31 ounces of protein. Yes this is a lot by most standards, and I rarely get my 26 oz. of protein a day. When I get close on a regular basis, I do feel much better. Then you won't 'need' those carbs so much. Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 Yes - except for the mozzarella- try not to use much/ Re: Gram counting Kate, Thank you!

I ended up getting a book for about $5.00 that listed the calories, carbs, fat, protein, etc for common foods and you may want to do that. Every food has a different protein count. Of course, they usually list them as 4 ounce portions so you'll still have to do the math--LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 Here is a chart I use whenever I want to know the numbers; the address is: www.caloriecountercharts.com/chart1a.htm whew! that's a long one...it lists the weight of various foods in grams and also protein in grams, so you will still have to do the conversions if you want ounces. You will be an expert in math after tracking a few meals.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 There is a free online site http://www.fitday.com where you can enter the foods you've eaten, and it will tell you the percentages of fats, proteins, carbs and fiber as well as the total grams of each. You can track your weight there too, and it will analyze the vitamin and mineral content of your foods for the day. I've been using it for quite a while, and it's a very nice tool. No need to do any math, but it does get tedious entering everything. > Here is a chart I use whenever I want to know the numbers; the address is: > www.caloriecountercharts.com/chart1a.htm > whew! that's a long one...it lists the weight of various foods in grams and also protein in grams, so you will still have to do the conversions if you want ounces.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 Apologies in advance if my post about fitday.com shows up twice. This first post hadn't appeared 24+ hours after I sent it (from the website), so I tried again. The 2nd post has yet to appear (another 24+ hours later), so it may still be sitting around on 's server somewhere. > Thank you, .
