Just for fun

The only times I've ever tracked my food choices and nutrition information, it's been because I'm trying to make an improvement. I thought it would be interesting to take a hypothetical before-Atkins menu, and enter it into my tracker. Of course, I was taking in more calories before, but I was amazed by the carb intake. I thought I'd been "lower carbing" it, you know what I mean? A typical day's menus had over 300 carbs, whereas now I'm taking in 15-30 net carbs. No wonder I feel so great!

Amazing, isn't it!

It seem the fewer carbs I consume, the better I feel overall.

That's amazing! Good to know, right? Carbs are not an essential food group. I think we all prove that. But it is astounding where you can find them and still think you are doing okay.
