I started on FatSecret after seeing a Registered Dietitian who wanted me to track my intake for a few days in order to analyze my micronutrients (I am vegan, have low iron--with or without meat, I prefer without, as well as a clotting disorder called Factor V Leiden). After our initial consultation, she suggested that I might not be eating enough.
As a lifelong dieter and overweight person, I thought this was nuts, but sure enough, I was only logging about 1400 calories a day (and I'm almost 200lbs, and don't really want to lose weight, just be healthy and maintain a weight about 10 lbs lower than where I am). It's been fun trying to make sure I'm getting closer to 1800-2000 calories a day!
Note to self: pay attention to alcohol intake! Lots of empty calories from wine creeping into my journal on an almost daily basis. Maybe think about cutting out booze Monday through Thursday?
Still off coffee on weekdays, going to start using the cafetiere from Italy to make a nice cup on the weekend--no need to brew a whole pot.
Sugar detox going really well--my only sugars have been from fruit (and wine--so still fruit? Ha.) Have replaced wheat with rice crackers and sprouted-grain bread, which I eat rarely (2-3x per week).
