Guest guest Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 You can track your food intake on fitday.com which calculates carb protein and fat intake. You can also add more fruits and vegetables for more carbs, and also more fats for calories instead of protein. You should try to eat as balanced a diet as possible. The SCD yogurt is also a source of carbs and some fats. Try working out different amounts of foods on fit day. PJ > > > SCD is not ment as a low carb diet.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Today I consumed 1500 calories. The breakdown is 48% fat (83 grams), 34% carbs (131 grams), and 17% protein (62 grams). This was a tad more carbs (I don't drink pineapple juice everyday) and protein (I ate a little more meat today) then I normally consume. I'm 5'4 " inches and weigh around 100 pounds.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Karianne I just looked into the recommendations on protein, carb and fat consumption. The important thing to remember is that there is individual variation, there is never one rule for everyone -- so your body might just work better with more protein per day than other people. The recommendations from expert nutritionists state: daily food or calorie consumption should fall in the range of 45% to 65% carbohydrates, 20% to 30% fats, 10% to 35% proteins. Experts also come to a consensus that the body doesn’t require carbohydrates to survive, it can meet its energy needs from proteins and fats, but our brains do function better with some carbohydrates. And, finally, most experts feel that we should consume a minimum amount of 50 grams to 130 grams of carbohydrates per day. But, remember that some of us have bodies that function better with higher levels of proteins or carbohydrates or fats than others. I’ve discovered that my digestion doesn’t handle carbohydrates or fats too well, so I generally consume about 40% proteins, 45% carbohydrates (low and medium types) and 10% fats. This is an average; some days I have more proteins, some days more carbohydrates. I pay attention to my body’s signals, and pay attention to how much my energy levels fluctuate throughout the day, and adjust my food choices accordingly. I also have blood workups twice a year because of having functional digestive disorders, checking for liver, pancreas and kidney function, among other things. So I’ll know fairly quickly if my kidneys are having problems with protein digestion. Other folks on SCD find they need more fats and/or carbohydrates than protein, so they eat a different range of foods than I do. We all have to find what works for us. The important thing is that you discover the right combination for your body, and see/feel your symptoms improving and your body working better. Kim M.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I don't eat a really great diet, because fruit and vegetable fiber seems to bother my gut (juice is okay though). I only had a tiny amount yesterday to see if I can start building up a tolerance. I'm also not much of a meat eater. Keep that in mind when you look at my list of foods :-). From Fitday: 1500 calories 2 cups of yogurt (16g protein, 16g fat, 16g carbs) 1.33 tablespoons honey (23g carbs) 1 almond butter brownie (5g protein, 18g fat, 16g carbs) ..5 cup grape gelatin (3g protein, 15g carbs) ..33 cup frozen yogurt (4g protein, 13g fat, 17g carbs) 1 tablespoon almond butter (2g protein, 9g fat, 3g carbs) 6 ounces pineapple juice (1g protein, 26g carbs) Bison patty (20g protein, 13g fat) 1 slice cheese (5g protein, 7g fat) ..12 cup green peas (1g protein, 1g fat, 3g carbs) ..12 cup cheesy mashed cauliflower (1g protein, 3g fat, 1g carbs) ..5 cup blueberry gelatin (3g protein, 10g carbs) Fish oil pills were the 4 remaining grams of fat.
