I've been trying to keep my calories down and really only started monitoring them yesterday.
Anyones, input would be greatly appreacated. |
If you are adding fat to your food (salad dressing, mayonnaise, butter, etc.) remove 1 or 2 tablespoons of that fat and you'll see a big difference the percentages. You can easily do that on fitday. Just play around with the numbers, like I did with the examples I gave in this thread. Remember, 1 tablespoon of butter or oil is about 100 calories. So, play around with fitday, and you'll see you don't need to "drown" your food in butter or fat to make that 65%. 1 whole egg has a ratio close to 65/30/5. So adding butter or mayo to that egg is really more for taste rather than getting in fat.
At this point you really don't need to "monitor" calories. Once ketosis kicks in, your appetite will naturally decrease and you will be satisfied with your meals with less food overall. Dr. Atkins hoped that with the appetite suppression of ketosis, we would re-learn our appetite cues. If you watch a newborn baby eat, he will only drink the amount of milk/formula he needs. As he grows older and learns outside influences (within weeks), he will drink the amount of formule his Mother thinks is satisfying for him. So if you un-learn all of your bad eating habits and re-learn your natural cues, you won't need to count calories because you will only eat the amount of food your body requires, not the amount of food your brain thinks you need.
