I've got to get my diet sorted out

Wednesday, May 16, 2012

I really need to sort out my diet. I am eating plenty of fresh fruit but I could do so much better. Protein is lacking I think too so I'll have to rectify that straight away.

I had to cut short my walk last night for a number of reasons but it's ok as I did a decent 40 minutes. Tonight I'm back on the stationary bike and I am making a roster for myself for next week. I'm going sort out a diet for myself too. I had hoped my fiancée would sort out something but I think it's good that I learn to do it myself anyway so I'm going to research this over the weekend and see if I can come up with something healthy. The weekend is also a good time to run things past my better half when we both have a little time.

Onwards and upwards we go!

    Thanks a million for all the great advice. I will sort this out (measurements, content et al) and give it a go as best I can for the week until I get paid and can purchase fresh food. YAY

You are a star!

    Diet ideas but not written in stone I would substitute foods in the same food group if unavailable etc.

You can also try using the sparkpeople menus to figure out the basics of what you should eat.

My plan is mostly about getting something from each food group at each meal. I make an effort to avoid red meat and high fat, high sugar foods but I am far from perfect.

So I eat at least one each from these food groups:

fruit/veg - try to get five a day - one piece, 1/2 cups if berries or cooked veg, 1/4 c dry, or 8 oz glass if juice (you could go up to nine per day splitting 5 servings veg/4 fruit)

protien - one serving 3 oz fish, poultry, etc, 1/4 c nuts, or 1/2 c beans = one serving ( 2 to 3 servings per day)

dairy - 1 c of yogurt or milk, 1 oz if cheese (2 to 3 servings per day)

grain - 1 sl or 1/2 c is serving aim for at least 6 servings, go for brown rice, high fiber bread (at least 3 g fiber per slice), and whole wheat pasta

Limit added fat/oil - butter/salad dressing etc

Try to eat 1/2 of what you would normally eat etc. These tips will help you along your way

    Sorry if the information I gave you was not enough. I can try to sort out something more formal for you.
