Once I had entered all these foods and quantities, I calculated the nutrient intake, which gave me this page (this is the first of two pages):Īs you can see, I ate all that food and ended up eating only 1749 Calories, which is not quite 200 Calories more than the subjects on both the Keys and the Yudkin studies ate. ![]() When I ran it through the little handy/dandy USDA site to calculate the nutrient intake, I ended up with this page. Now anyone would consider this day’s worth of food to be rich, hearty, flavorful and calorie dense. For dinner last Wednesday I had a T-bone steak, a few slices of tomato, a grilled zucchini, a glass of red wine, and some berries (strawberries and blueberries) with cream for dessert. I also drink several cups of Cafe Americano made with espresso throughout the day – usually one for breakfast and three more during the day. As you might imagine, after this 3-egg, 3-sausage breakfast, I’m not particularly hungry when it’s lunchtime, so I don’t usually eat lunch, but I do grab an ounce or so of nuts and a bit of hard Italian sausage around midday. (I have been involved in a project that’s kept me away from home, hearth and computer for most of the day the last couple of days, ergo my lack of posting.)įor breakfast I normally eat 3 fried eggs, 3 sausage patties, some fruit (strawberries and blueberries) and a cup of coffee. Just for grins, I ran my food intake for last Wednesday, the last day I followed my normal diet. It requires registration with a username and password, your height, weight and age. The USDA site is free and requires only a few minutes to set it up. ![]() The comparison part is hilarious because anyone following a low-carb diet ends up with a lot of negative emotocons. ![]() The calculation part of the site is valuable because it shows you the nutrient breakdown of a day’s worth of food intake. The site tracks food consumption and calculates for you the nutrient intake of the foods you eat in a given day, then compares them with the ‘ideal’ intake for your weight, height and age. I came across and interesting and useful site operated by the US Department of Agriculture that I want to pass along.
