I found a great program on the web called www.fitday.com used to track your calories, fat, protein and carbs.
Today I ate just a little above 4K calories. Check it out below.
How does it stack up? Do you guys think it is a proper day?

Personally that looks like a sweet program but if I were you I would drop the carbs 100 or 150 and up the protein and fats. Also, as far as the fats go, try to take in all mono and poly and hardly any saturated. Otherwise cals and everything else looks reasonably good. Did you have to pay for that program?

Been using it for about 4 months myself. The website has the general for everything. But, I just put in everything on day so I could get exact numbers.
As for the creator of thhis thread, up your protein intake.

pizza, wieght gainer, instant oatmeal, 2% milk, raisins, fruit flavoured yogurt, and gatorade. And almost no vegtables=\
Your macros are fine, but you are not eating for optimal muscle.
Unless you are dirty bulking I would say your food choices need some work. Marco nutrient ratios aren't everything, if they were we could eat fruit loops, bacon, and whey shakes all day and look good nekid. But we can't\=Never visiting this forum again.

fitday is awesome. try adding monounsaturated fats (buy a bulk container of olive oil) and omega-3 fatty acids (buy bulk fish oil capsules; you want to get between 2 and 3 grams of DHA and EPA [these are described on the bottle]). This is important for your gains, as well as for your blood cholesterol.

That sliced luncheon meat is processed to f*ck btw, I wouldn't eat it even though its ok, because they're ripping you off.
All in all, though you are getting a decent amount of protein, it'll be mostly incomplete proteins, and so not as useful.
And 36 grams of saturated fat a day isn't great. Remember the cholestoral, you can't keep that up forever!
You'll get muscle with that, but a lot of fat too probably."There are only two ways a man can fail - he gives up, or he dies"

And I disagree, on gaining tons of fat, lot of people in gym's don't follow strict, sweet potato and lean chicken breast diets and are not fat at all. 4k is high and the saturated fat is high, and that can lead to trouble, but processed lunch meat isn't that bad, lot of bodybuilders eat it. You're better off getting it from the deli but overall it's doing more good than harm.Kill one man and you are a murderer. Kill a million and you are a conquerer. Kill them all and you are God
If you train hard, you'll not only be hard, you'll be hard to beat.

ofcourse, i set pretty high standards for myself, but you really need to bump up the fiber & cut down on the sat fats, sugar & refined carbs, eat alot more veggies & fruits, add an EFA supp like flax or hemp oil.
also, you cant eat sugar filled yogurt, pizza & lasagna on the same day unless their home made. or in other words made healthy, by preparing them w/ whole wheat, fat free cheese & low fat tomato sauce
do you use the downloaded program or the website to keep track of it? if you use the online ver, will you post a link to your online journal?
also, can you post your nutrient requirements for that day?
I use fitday too, here is yesterday's diet, just under 4k, http://raamdev.com/pub/ravi/BD.gif note - the foods on the list are not in the order they were consumed, that is one of the downfalls of the program, it wont let you put together meals & times.
and the nutrient requirement chart
http://raamdev.com/pub/ravi/NR.gif note - the calcium does not include the calcium from the cottage cheese because the calcium in dairy is not absorbed. according to recent studies & the information provided by a few doctors i know.
the kidney beans may seem too appetizing but they are when prepared properly w/ the right ingredients

"Wheat, Hard red winter" is simply wheat berries, the completely unrefined unprocessed grain. I bought a 50lb bag of it in hopes to start growing my own wheatgrass juice, but i just havent gotten around to it, so i am just eating it sprouted, all you do is take the dry grain and soak it for 2-3 days more or less depending on how soft you want it, then i normally throw it in a chilli or soup. there are several major varities of wheat such as Semolina, Kamut (ka-moo), Hard & soft winter & hard & soft spring wheat, each one having slightly different macronutrient ratios & flavor.
alot of beans are pretty amazing, but the macro nutrient ratios vary quite widely depending on the type of bean & the distributer, just make sure you count the calories on the bag by adding the protein fat & digested carbs (total - fiber) cals because they dont normally print the correct amt of cals & always buy dry rather than canned, because for some reason canned beans almost always have a not so enticing nutrient ratio i.e. high carbs
also, you cant see it there, but the actual nutrient ratio of those kidney beans was 88g protein, 80g digested carbs & 144g fiber!Last edited by Ravi Dev; 01-27-2005 at 09:14 PM. Reason: added info
