 Re: Scales moving up.. | |
I don't 'formally' measure foods either. I eat at the university canteen, so it's often difficult to figure out the quantities they use. But I have a picture in mind of what 1 cup means, so I can estimate if I eat 1, 1.5 or 2 cups of cauliflower.
1 polish sausage has about 4-5 oz. The nutritional info for 1 oz is here Calories in Polish Sausage, Pork
and you can add it as a custom food in Fitday if it's not there already.
Hod dog sauce... how much? Approx 1 tbsp, 2? You can check once how much one tbsp of some sauce is and then you'll have an idea of how much you eat.
You can create recipes using Nutrition Data Nutrition facts, calories in food, labels, nutritional information and analysis – NutritionData.com
and then add the final nutritional info to Fitday.
I know all this sounds like a lot of work, but you only have to do this the first time you eat a food and then you have the recipes & previously added foods saved and it only takes about 10-15 min per day to enter them in Fitday.

I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
