As we all know, tracking food consumption and exercise is a key to successful weight loss. SparkPeople is a free Web site that is chock full of tools to help achieve your weight loss goals.
But one of my favorite things to do is to lurk on people's profiles and see what they're eating and how much exercise they do. I came across one of my favorite members' logs and was shocked at what was consumed.
Below is a typical lunch for this person:
| Lunch | Cal. |
Carbs |
Fat |
Prot. |
| Burger King, BK VEGGIE Burger, 1 serving | 420 | 46 | 15 | 23 |
 |
||||
| Burger King Medium French Fries (salted), 1 serving | 480 | 61 | 23 | 5 |
|
||||
| Burger King Medium Coca Cola Classic, 1 serving | 230 | 56 | 0 | 0 |
|
||||
| Kraft Singles White American Cheese, 1 serving | 60 | 2 | 5 | 4 |
So although I may snicker at a fast-food lunch at nearly 1,200 calories, I must acknowledge that this person AT LEAST logs all that is consumed. The good, the bad and the fattening.
I dare you to track me on SparkPeople. My user name: I_AM_CAROL. You will never see one meal that is nearly my entire day's worth of calories.
Now to start tracking ...
