Calories calculation

[happymama]

Hi there,

Just wondering how do you calculate your calories?

I have no idea how much I eat, I mean how much calories!

Do you think the following is too much?

For instance, yesterday I ate the following: cappuccino in the morning, around 12 one croissant, around 3 chicken with leeks plus small piece of bread. Approximately 3tbsp of diced chicken. Then around 7 I had one small piece of bread with strawberry jam. Around 10 I had some fresh blueberries. And one cup of milk during the day.

Not sure how much in calories I ate..does it sound too much? Very hard to get the right amount of everything. When it says 30-40g of proteins, do you have an example of that?

Thank you very much! )

I think most of us are using myfitnesspal.com to calculate calories, fat, protein, sodium, etc. It will tell you all of that. And the account is free. It's hard to keep track in your head.

my guess would be not nearly enough but I can't say for sure without knowing.

I just looked on the labels of what I was eating and added it up. Before long I got a good handle on how much I was getting and didn't need to track it any more. I also liked the Self. com site, they had full nutrient breakdowns for most foods and I felt it more reliable than the My Fitness Pal site. I'm not sure if it has the same ability to track your day's food intake tho. I avoided that kind of thing because I knew I wouldn't stick to it and also I worried that the tracking and numbers would raise my T levels. It was easier for me to keep a running day's total in my head but that may not be true for everyone - since I research this all day every day I have a lot more data to draw off of than the average person does.
