Do you really know how much fluid and protein you are consuming in a day?

Thursday, July 9, 2009 by Traci Baker
How many of us come to a follow up appointment and struggle with the following question; how many ounces of fluid and how many grams of protein are you consuming each day?  If you are like me I have the hardest time keeping a physical journal of my food consumption.  I will forget to pick up my journal and carry it with me plus I have the worst time figuring out exactly how much protein I had when I only eat a small portion size.  

My saving grace is using a website like www.sparkpeople.com  to track my daily food intake.  I can log on from anywhere, enter my information and the site will give me a running total for the day.  I also have the capability to make notes, create a grocery list, track my fitness goals, run reports and search for new recipe ideas.  Try it for two weeks and you will most likely be surprised at the true amounts you are consuming.
