There are a lot of calories in the chicken dish you had for dinner, considering that 8 oz. of chicken breast is only around 300, and peppers are negligible. Rich sauce? Anyway, your levels for the day are fine. Chris 262/130s/130s started dieting July 2002, maintaining since June 2004 > Sounds like a great level of calories and exercise.

The other items had the servings and cals on them, but I had to use a nutrition website to get the chicken info. They didn't have oz for chicken so I guestimated high that 8 oz of chicken was 2 cups chopped. The sauce was only around 10 cals per tablespoon, I used four to cook with but likely only ate 1-2 tblsp. The peppers I figure was about 75 cals. I may be closer to around 1500 for the day based on your suggestion. I'd hate to go below 1500 for health reasons. :( Thanks for the input.

[quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > >Joe 357/328/220 A good place to look for calorie data is calorieking.com. Look for the Food Search box in the middle of the home page. When you get to the page for the item, you can select the type of units (cups, ozs, actual chicken breasts, etc.) using a little pull-down menu, and it automatically recomputes all the numbers. You can also put in how many cups, ozs, or whatever you had and it multiplies it out. On the calorieking site, it has 8 oz. of raw chicken breast at 250 calories, and 8 oz. of roast chicken breast at 375 calories. I'm not sure whether you weighed yours before or after cooking. (The difference is because the chicken loses a lot of its water content when you cook it, so it takes well over 8 oz. of raw chicken to end up with 8 oz. of cooked chicken.) Anyway, eating under your target calorie level for one day won't hurt you. Going too low on a regular basis, though, can cause problems. >> Here is mine >> [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > Joe 357/328/220 Erm - is it me, or does there seem to be a general lack of Fruit 'n veg here? In the UK we are told to have five portions of fruit or veg a day. In many countries in Europe - they recommend up to ten portions a day. Maybe those "Weight Watchers Ice creams" (which, being branded are made purely for the good of Weight Watchers - not you) could be replaced with some real food? Just a thought... > Erm - is it me, or does there seem to be a general lack of Fruit 'n veg > here? I take daily vitamin supplements with lycopene and fish oil (not a fish fan). Not to mention my yogurt contained fruit, my soup contained vegetables and my dinner consisted of more vegetables than chicken. > In the UK we are told to have five portions of fruit or veg a day. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > purely for the good of Weight Watchers - not you) could be replaced with > some real food? I think allowing myself one or two of those a week is just fine. Joe 357/321/220 |
