Let's record what we're eating to help each other

Hi 2xblue, I'll probably join u next month, I've been going veg and trying to ease myself into the diet by reducing calories. My little boy is very sick so the diet has been put on the back burner for the moment.
I haven't really been tracking potassium, but yes, I think coconut water is recommended.. Potatoes and bananas also have a lot.

It's great to have this thread especially now that I'm trying to figure everything out.

If you read back a page or 2 there are some potassium comments - MFP doenst do a great job of tracking K levels.
It's a great thread!

Thank you Hitmebaby! I was really wondering why MFP was tracking really low potassium levels. I have to read that thread you mentioned! MFP also tracks really low sodium levels for me, I wonder if it's correct or not.

I read about the grade A foods. So you don't need to count calories, protein or fat from low nutritient and low carb vegetables like cauliflower, cucumber, mushrooms, peppers etc? Yesterday and today I tracked absolutely everything I ate but actually I don't need to with these vegetables?

Way to go hitmebaby! I've lost 0.5kg so far too, it's not much but it feels good :) 2xblue I'm just tracking everything to keep it simple and to make sure I stay within my calorie range!

You gotta start somewhere!!! I've been officially on diet since mar 23, but I skipped breaky since like Jan.
2xblue - Ya I think te foods that say verified are reliable for sodium and I too track my veg too, it doesn't stress me out, or whatever; I've used MFP for years and years.

Thank you!! I have been walking for 75 min everyday and my calories have dropped from 3000 or over to 1500 a day!! Eating pretty much just carbs!! Little protein but no meat at all. Im feeling pretty good.
