Brian (bsc) left a comment for tigger"If you use a conservative guideline and get 50g of protein/day and only 60 g of carbs, then (each g of protein and carb is 4 calories) that is less than 500 calories/day. You still need another 1000-1500 calories that comes from fat. 9 calories per…"

If you use a conservative guideline and get 50g of protein/day and only 60 g of carbs, then (each g of protein and carb is 4 calories) that is less than 500 calories/day. You still need another 1000-1500 calories that comes from fat. 9 calories per g of fat, that is 100-150 g fat. Hello olive oil.
ps. I eat a lot more protein, especially when training.
pps. Sorry don't have a suggestion on logging app, perhaps you should post a question.

I had a great time at the group meeting. It was just about the best we ever had. I don't really have a suggestion on the nutrition software. Tony used that CalorieKing app, but it was on the iphone. I think you want more of a logging app tho, something to record bp, bs and exercise. The CalorieKing just looks up nutrition info and doesn't even log food. I'll have to look into it.

- Hey tigger, long time. I left you a private message about metformin. Hope to see you at a support group meeting some time.

Sue said… - The guy in all my pics is my boyfriend Mike. We've been together 2 years 2 months now. We arent engaged yet but thats cause I dont wanna get engaged until I am more established. I want a decent job. I feel once you get engaged things just start moving and making plans. I dont want any more projects to tackle except a job. Im waiting to hear if I get into this Radiology program I applied to and if I do thats 2 years so maybe after that if I get in. Are you a photographer? You really should be. I love looking at your pics!
