January Pink Food Thread

[Out of the Blue]

Ok so I have a question also about the soda. LoL.

I wanted to know if 1 a day is ok, like the regular one. It is the 90 calorie one enough to give me a bit of a kick. Would I eat this while eating a meal?
Also what do we want our sugars at??
Aside that tomorrow af is supposed to be completely gone! Can't wait to start. Yesterday was my first full day on the le diet and I did amazing with my sodium and protein and fat intake. I had sodium at 900, fat was I believe 25, and I think if I am correct my protein was 38.. and my cals were at 1,400

Soda is great for the sway and as long as it’s not putting you over in cals, drink the sugar ones…It’s fine! Don’t worry about counting sugar on the girl diet…eat all you want as long as you’ve had no history w/diabetes. Sugar is a girl-swayers BFF b/c it’s tons of empty cals followed by plummeting blood sugar levels.

GREAT JOB on the 1st day of your diet! Looks good…YAY for the end of AF…O is coming soon for you!

If we are looking at the same thing it states: 1 bagel cal 228, fat 7.9, sat fat 0.8g, salt 0.61g, total sugars 3.6g.

FYI: 1 gram of sodium per 100g = 2.5 grams salt

So 1 bagel contains 244mg sodium.

If it is bagels you want, you might want to look at the Weight Watchers ones, which "only" have 170mg sodium per bagel compared to the Sainsburys ones.

its the same ones yes ok im lost it states on there per 100g of bagel = 0.35g sodium ?

[littlemissnaughty7]

and when i put it in myfitnesspal it states im not eating hardly any sodium, and that theres none in the bagels ?

I found with sodium that a lot of entries on myfitnesspal are incorrect due to other members submitting the details and making mistakes when inputting the sodium. I had to change quite a few items due to this. Basically the packs list sodium in grams, i.e. 0.1g. Myfitnesspal, however, lists sodium in mg. So a lot of times people input the sodium content as 0.1, but don't realise that it is asking for mg not g, in which case it should be 100mg. Therefore in this example the item would show no sodium content when it has in fact 100mg, which is 1/10 of your daily allowance. Hope this makes sense.

Also some people only enter the information from the front of the pack and not the detailed nutritional information from the back of the packs, which doesn't list sodium, but only salt and salt isn't a possible entry on myfitnesspal.
