I am hungry. My head is hurting. I ate a pb&j for lunch. I am going to eat a snack but don't know what yet.

I just saw my nutritional consumption for the week. I am happy to see where I am.

These are the areas I am in my goal:
1. Carbohydrates
2. Protein
3. Calcium
4. Cholesterol

Areas I need to improve:
1. Balance out my caloric intake between goal range
2. Fats
3. Potassium
4. Lower sodium intake
5. Magnesium
6. Fiber

So, now I am aware of what needs to be done, I can make plans on finding strategies to resolve those areas.

Getting enough nutrients is crucial in being healthy, and I definitely want to be healthy and get enough nutrients. I am going to ask my Nutritionist what to do.

    If you are low on Potassium, I just figured out that I can get more Potassium for fewer calories by eating spinach, romaine lettuce and celery. They are a great source of potassium compared to my old stand by banana. They would also provide fiber.

  Hey!

I don't know if these would work for your goals or not but I've been happy with Nature Valley's new Protein chewy bars. They're basically granola bars (dark chocolate is involved :) with extra protein. Here's the info: 190 calories, 12 g fat (3.5 saturated), 14 g carbs - 5 g fiber & 6g sugar, 10 g protein. They make a great quick snack. emoticon
