Re: Constipation & what other fats is there to eat? Fit day

[Guest guest]

I did at some point try fit day but I can't navigate it! Chris.

---> I found using fit day extremely helpful when I first started

because I had no idea what my portions should be like. I bought a

food scale for $8.00 @ walmart. I still use it but not as often

because I have a routine that works and I don't make alot of changes.

I now know about what 6oz chicken, 4oz steak,etc looks like.

--->I think you are making fit day to hard.

For the butter entry Click on the browse " all foods " drop down to

Fats/oils/dressing and hit go. That takes you to a screen with 3

choices hit fats. That takes you to a more specific screen. Click

on " add " - Butter. That puts butter in your todays food. From there

you can easily change the amount and save the changes. That butter

entry will stay in the " add recent " so next day you figure it is

readily available.

I think for what we are looking for it is not necessary to make a pick

for example between salted butter and not salted butter since we are

really only looking for the amount of fat,protien and carbs.

I make my own kim chi. Fit day doesn't have kim chi. Its going to be

carb/fat wise the same as the canned sauerkraut so I use the canned

sauerkraut,etc.

You will probably have many of the same things every day like Coconut

oil, fish oil, sauerkraut,whole raw egg etc. So once you put your

regulars in its pretty quick. Then if you come on to something new it

doesn't take much to add it.

I find the calculations it does extremely useful and don't think I

would have been able to figure out my diet without it.

Hang in there. It will come together.

Delete that which is harmful. Add that which is useful. Learn or try

something new each week.

If you are still having trouble with it give it a rest. Come back to

it in a couple of days. After you rest from it a bit come back and do

a search in Bees archives. Debby had some great tips and tricks about

fit day and nutritional calculations.

Thank you so much Pat (in Kalamazoo). I really appreciate your tips

on using fit day and your kind words since I'm having a not too good

day! I will try it tomorrow or as soon as I feel better!
