Well concerning my eating habits change, I have been doing great in some areas and not so great in others..lol found recommended amounts for a 2000 calorie diet in the areas of total, saturated fats, cholesterol,sodium, potassium (which I am not recording), total carbs, fiber and protein.. then on a spreadsheet divided those numbers up by 2000, and with that number I multiplied it by the calorie intake that I had for the day, then recorded all of the daily info for each section.. (does that make sense.. here is what I found out..
For April (for the month)
fat intake I was under by 221.62 (average per day under 20.15)
Sat intake under by 78.39 (average per day under 7.13)
Chol under 1602 (average per day under 145.63)
all good now the bad..
sodium OVER 40,885.11 (average per day 3,716.83!)
Carbs OVER 280.660 (average per day 25.51)
Fiber Over 184.995 (average per day 16.81)
Protein Over 506.51 (average per day 46.05)
For May
fat intake I was under by 101.84(average per day under 3.39)
Sat intake under by 76.1 (average per day under 2.54)
Chol under 3218.55 (average per day under 107.29)
all good now the bad..
sodium OVER 40,376.5 (average per day 1345.87!)
Carbs OVER 4460.06 (average per day 148.67)
Fiber Over 1330.63 (average per day 44.35)
Protein Over 1953.76 (average per day 65.13)
The one area that I am kind of concern bout is the sodium in take..
and I do not put any salt on anything.. suggestions?

I think the biggest thing to do on sodium, I think anyway, is watch out for processed foods, they can be loaded with it. That's something that I could do a better job on also.

Wow! Those are some crunchy numbers -- as in crunching numbers to reach one's weight loss goals. In looking at the scientific study, I understand that my own approach is verbal. I use self "talk," aphorisms, mantra's and motivational literature as motivation. Whatever works - right? Here is wishing you continued success!

Awesome crunching numbers! You are doing great! Going unprocessed foods and avoiding foods with the "bad" stuff in them by reading lables, being super careful not to get anything with sugars in it, hydrogenated oil and grains is hard enough for me. Though I do enjoy eating a bit at functions. You go!
