Food tracking thread?

[ValerieZ84]

I found the one from 2013, and the one that started in 2014, both closed. Is there a new thread or two I can be linked up to to follow? Please. I'm starting to diet and play around with LE meals even though my first try isn't until March.

If you are looking for a food tracker try myfitnesspal.com its very complete I use it all the time even pre-sway. Its very easy to use and you can set the tracker to track whatever nutrients you need to track most for your sway. Mobile apps the whole works!

Does it track protein etc? I wonder would it be good for tracking HE.

[ValerieZ84]

Sure does True Blue.... I'm on MFP already. I meant where people are posting their meals, so I can get some ideas lol
If anybody wants to add me on MFP, I'm PrincessSway84, it's just for swaying although I'm doing a super loose version at the moment. Won't totally tighten up until January.

Valerie - start a new thread and start posting! If I'm not pg this month, I will definitely join in for next month. The old threads definitely helped keep me on track while swaying for so many months.

Will do tonight! I'm still trying to do a loose version of the LE diet, but really just practicing since I have a lot of weight to lose. I'm about 5 and a half months out from my first attempt in March. MFP has me at 1210 calories, but my goal is between that and 1500. Here's an example of today's menu:
First meal at 12: two slices of toast with cheese, an Apple, Orange soda can
Dinner: 2 pancakes with syrup, green grapes, hard boiled egg, Crystal lite
Totals are 1362 calories, 35 fat and 32 protein. Little low on the protein, but I'm trying!
If I feel like something later I'll have some coffee with sugar and milk which will bump it up 88 calories, 2 fat and 2 protein.

Today's food plan.
11- macaroni and cheese cup, pineapple, can of fruit punch
6:30- tomato soup with rice & cheese, green grapes, Crystal lite, hardboiled egg
Snack- slice of toast with a smear of peanut butter

Pantry is pretty bare of sway friendly things. Kind of scrounging until I go food shopping Wednesday. I'll pick up more veggies and such, and vegetarian protein since I seem to have the most trouble with that, hence the egg & pb

Totals- 1391 calories, 36 fat and 39 protein
