Eating right (keeping track)

[He Man]

This is for those who are trying to keep track of what they eat so they can stay in shape, or just to have a sense of your eating habbits.

I found this neat little tool online by about.com
http://caloriecount.about.com

You can pretty much just type in what you ate, it will pull up the nutritional value of it (it can be something you cooked, or bought at the store if its a name brand item, including supermarket brands). It makes a chart of your nutritional intake and logs it as too low or too high. You need to register for an account and put in your body specifics, How active you are, how tall, heavy etc.

I think its pretty cool and it only takes a few minutes a day to keep track of everything you eat. I want to see if i can keep it up for 30 days and see where I stand.

this pissed me off already, the only thing it gave me an A for was "lettuce"

I'm pretty sure I'd be on a decent track to "healthy eating" if I cut out 90% of my carbs, sugars, and booze.

u cant cut out carbs entirely, u can cut out candy, soda, fatty foods, and ur 90% there.

If you really want to get lean and maintain and even increase muscle, get on the Paleo diet. You can
pretty much eat as much lean meat, chicken, fish, vegetables and fruit as you desire (eggs a few times a week).

What you can no longer eat (except on cheat meals) is any grains. No bread, pasta, rice, cereal, grains of any kind, no dairy of any kind.

You will start to lean out in a few weeks, you will never go hungry.

You can find the book at most book stores. It is the source, I promise you.

I've been tossing around for a couple months now how to go at least a bit Paleo. Not sure I can go the full nine yards on it, but if I could incorporate most of the diet I think I'd be better off.

You don't need to jump in the deep end. They give you several "cheat" meals a week in the beginning. Then little by little
they start to disappear. By then you really won't miss the shit you thought you would.

Also if you really got to have something or your head will explode, make the beast with two backsing eat it. It's not the end of the world.

I've thought about this diet before (I know it as the caveman diet) back when I was hitting the gym hard five times a week.  I'm almost back to that point now, but got soft as hell over the summer (booze, bad food, and utter laziness).

Cutting out grains and dairy (bread) is tough, because sandwiches are cheap and not that bad for you.

I'll look for the book though.  Thanks for the reminder.

The Caveman diet is a little different. Try just eating the meat, chicken etc. that you would on a sandwich, just skip the bread (cheaper yet  ) with some fruit or salad.

Why you gotta give a dog a bone(r)?

Can you even work out without breaking a hip? If we're to believe your claims of seniority I'd gather that you would lose your dentures halfway throughout your first pull up. 

That's a pretty nifty site, btw

I lost all my teeth eating dead bad guys, so I just take em out for pull ups.

How many calories does the site say they have?
