Guest guest Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Hey All So I've been pretty bummed with my scale weight loss so far and I thought I would just monitor my calories and carb/protien ratio using selfdietclub.com (exactly the same as fitday). I noticed after dinner I was at about 50% carb, 26% protien, and 24% fat for where my calories were coming from... This came as a big shock because I thought I had been doing so well getting protien in at every meal. So I came home from work at 930 and had 2 meals left. I just had a protien shake, no carbs... Then at 1130 I had another shake... My totals for the day are now 42% carb, 35% protien, 23% fat, and 1331 calories... That's 141 grams of carbs, 33 grams of fat, and 114 grams of protien... I'm just wondering if any of you would have done something different... Should I have drank even ANOTHER shake or had some more cottage cheese or something? Should I have gone ahead and had some carbs in my last two meals anyway? Also, I've heard we should be aiming between 20-25 grams of protien per meal, and I've also heard we should aim for one gram for every pound of lean mass we have... So which is it? I don't wanna wreck my kidneys by eating too much but I don't want to lose muscle mass either... I know, I'm obsessing, but it was just a shock to see that big 50% of the pie chart being filled up with carbs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
