Guest guest Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 It may help if you look at www.nutritiondata.com. You can enter all the details of your diet and have it analysed (free) based on the USDA food database. Currently I am using it daily. I print out a list of the ingredients of my daily diet, weigh the items as I use them and enter them under the day column on the sheet. It is like a school register with the days across the top and the food list down the left. I buy nothing ready made and cook in a way that does not tend to change daily. I am still struggling to make my food really palatable and enjoyable, especially the mid day meal. The nutrition program enables me to see where I am deficient. I am finding I have to supplement with mixed tocopherols ie Vit E and Vit B but then I believe in fairly high Vit B levels and of course I am getting no B12 without supplementation. I can also see I am getting no Vit D but I supplement for 2000IU per day. I take 50mg of seaweed a day for iodine. I was going to ask how people are getting enough Vit E on a no added fat diet. I follow the advice in the two books one by Caldwell Esselstyn and the other Colin Campbell. Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
