What I ate March 2 & March 3

[Guest guest]

I had a bit of a scare Friday afternoon/evening. My most beloved

hubby had a doctor's appointment and he mentioned a pain in his

chest that he'd experienced the night before; none of the other

typical heart attack symptoms just a pain like someone punched him

in the chest. The doctor sent him to the ER for an EKG and some

blood tests since his office doesn't have the facilities to do it

there. The EKG was normal and the blood tests didn't show any

elevated heart enzymes that show up after a heart attack but still

by the time we got home I was wanting comfort food (french fries in

this case). I consider it a " refeed " day sort of. Then I was busy

Saturday and didn't get a chance to post so I'm posting Friday's and

Saturday's consumption in one post. (I also keep a log on a " stand-

alone " version of Fitday (non-web based) so going back is no

problem.)

 

March 2

Breakfast:

 

Usual oatmeal with a splash of soymilk

 

Lunch:

Tomato Lentil Stew Over Quinoa (http://vegweb.com/index.php?

topic=10561) [frozen leftovers]

Different vegetable mixture of brocoli, carrots and caulflower

 

Snack:

16 100% whole grain wheat thins

(Eaten while I waited to take DH for his dr.'s appointment.)

 

Dinner:

Large salad with lettuce, tomato, celery, bell pepper and 1/2 avocado

1 box of Ore-Ida Easy microwave French Fries (which they say is 2

servings but it really isn't but 1)

1 Boca Spicy Chik'n Patty

~ 4 ozs. blush wine (the last we had.)

 

My calculations in FitDay put that at 1,740 calories which is a

little over what I like have as my limit.

 

Saturday, March 3

 

Left over Tofu Scramble

2 slices whole wheat toast

 

Lunch:

3/4 of one of the Amy's Kitchen Pesto Pizzas that are designed for 1

but I cut it into 4 slices and gave dh one. He didn't want his own

pizza, just a " taste " of mine!

 

Dinner:

Usual salad but no avocado this time

whole wheat spaghetti with canned Hunt's brand spaghetti sauce and

some of the Morning Star Farms ground beef substitute crumbles with

some " regular non-vegan " parmesan cheese sprinkled over the top.

 

Snack:

 

1 tbl. Red Miso eaten with 16 wheat thin crackers (a little salty

but it makes a nice " pate " type spread.

 

1,289 calories, which is a little low. I didn't mean to compensate

for the day before's overage but I guess I did instinctively.

Nasty scare, hon! So glad it wasn't what you feared. Huge hugs and lots

of love!

I'm glad it was only a scare an nothing more serious.

 

How do you like FitDay? I am thinking of buying/downloading it pretty soon

here and am curious as to what people who actually use it think. Is there an

option for more than one person to track their stuff in it do you know? Does it

give a good breakdown of vitamins, minerals and all that good stuff? It seemed

pretty complete looking at the website.

 

Thanks!

Thanks for your concern. DH's is feeling much better and went to work

this morning. He's got a bit of his appetite back too. (That he

wouldn't eat much of anything worried me the most.)

 

I love fitday. You can have more than one account set up so more than

one person can track what they eat. It seems to use the USDA

nutritional database as it's source for information:

 

http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/

 

and like the on-line version you can input foods from the nutritional

info on the package. What I especially like is that you can input the

ingredients and amounts for a recipe and how many servings the recipe

makes and it'll calculate the calories and nutritional breakdown per

serving. Unless the on-line version has changed, you can't do that on

it. I haven't looked at the on-line version in quite a while. The

breakdown for vitamins, minerals, etc. can be quite detailed; it

depends on whether the internal database has a lot of info on the food

or a lot of info has been input. The independent program also has a

lot more reports you can generate than the on-line version. I don't

use all the reports but they're available if I ever get that

obsessive/compulsive. ;-)

 

I have no financial interest at all in fitday but I think it's very

much worth the expenses. I keep my program and account files on a 1 G

memory stick which I carry back and forth between work and home so I

can keep i5 very up to date. I also have a few music files and some

recipes docs that I've accumulated also on the stick and still have

920+ MB free. It would fit fine on a much smaller memory stick.

 

Hope this helps.
