I combines the last two weeks numbers:
| Weight: | 136.4 lbs |
| Body Fat: | 13.8 |
| BMI: | 20.7 |
| Calories | 1701 |
| Fat Calories | 400 |
| % Fat Calories | 23% |
| Total Fat | 44g |
| Saturated Fat | 11g |
| Cholesterol | 102mg |
| Sodium | 1626mg |
| Carbohydrates | 239g |
| Sugar | 139g |
Not too much special this time around. I ended up combining the last two weeks information because I had to skip recording for a couple of days the week before last. I was away from home and had no idea what was in the food I was having. I know it wasn’t as good for me but I moderated what I was having so all is ok. I’ve stayed between 136 and 137 so I must have done well.

i came across this site accidentally and I am quite encouraged by your weekly posting of your progress…great job!. So couple of questions -
- What are the daily/weekly goals you set for calories, sodium, sugar etc?
- if you are making food at home, how do you estimate the calories etc?
thanks
Hi there rampx, glad you like the site!
I met my weight loss goal so I'm not really eating to lose weight any longer. I'm eating to maintain my weight now. But when I was eating to lose weight I was eating around 1500 calories per day. Here is where I posted all my goals and limits:

When I make food at home and there isn't nutritional information on the packaging I'll do a google search for it. For example, if I was having chicken I might do a search for "chicken breast nutrition". I have also gone to the brand names website to see if they have the information there. Sometimes I can't get the exact information so I have to estimate the best I can.
With things like the smoothie I make I used the nutritional information on the packaging and calculated what the entire smoothies nutritional information was. It was a pain in the butt the first time but once I had it figured out I could use those same numbers each time I made that smoothie.
I think that the biggest thing that helped me was keeping meticulous track of what I was eating. Once you realize exactly what you are having it's much easier to see where you need to make changes.
