Fitday question

[wanttoolose]

When plugging stuff into Fitday, do you add Olive oil, Mustard and Vinegar??

My salad dressing consists of Olive oil, vinegar and mustard mixed together.

What about butter??

You can add them separately or figure out the nutritional information for the dressing (enter the ingredients in a later day, e.g. March 15th, and then add the dressing as a new food).

What about butter?

I always add them separately. The olive oil and butter add up quickly!

I know, is it possible to be eating too many calories on atkins??

Everything you eat and drink you put into fitday.
It is possible to eat too much -- but I would not worry about amounts on induction. Just follow the rules of induction and it will sort it self out.

Yes, I add absolutely everything in Fitday, even if it has basically zero carbs. In DANDR, Dr. Atkins writes we should not be counting calories. However, he did not write that calories are not important! While you do have a metabolic advantage when following Atkins, if you overeat Atkins "legal" foods, you will not lose weight or you may even gain. So calories do matter! However, as Liv said, counting calories is not necessary for many of us, because one's appetite is suppressed once ketosis sets in. On the other hand, if you have problems with controlling portion sizes, keeping an eye on your calories might make a difference.
