Nutritional data

[Guest guest]

I'm so fed up with all the weight I've been gaining that I decided to start

counting calories. I hate that I'm doing it but hopefully it will help me start

losing weight and then once I'm doing my exercise stuff more regularly I can

stop worry about it. So I tried using fitday before and it

worked....eh...semi-okay. I like that it allows you to enter foods but it

doesn't really seem to have a way to create a recipe so I'd have to do all the

data analysis elsewhere and then enter the data. However, today I found this

site:

http://www.nutritiondata.com

While I do have to enter several ingredients individually (they don't have

things like almond or coconut flour) I like that it allows me to create a full

recipe in that program and divide it into servings. hehehe...good since I tend

to do different serving sizes depending on my hunger level. I have, however,

hit a snag. How do we go about finding the nutritional data for nut milk? I

mean, it can't just be the combo of almonds and water since often a lot of the

almonds are strained out. Anyone have any ideas about how I might go about

doing it? I plan on creating the menus in this program and then transferring it

over to fitday.

Stacey,

great work. Not gaining weight on SCD is not easy. Nuts!.

Anyway, regarding : " How do we go about finding the nutritional data

for nut milk? " While we would not consume a commercial version,

the information might be transferable.

I noodled around a bit on-line for unsweetened almond milk calorie

counts. Several sites had an amazingly low 40 calories, one had 60.

Hope that helps.

Perhaps there will be another Losing weight on SCD thread, or Not

wanting to Gain weight on SCD thread. While I am considered a darn

good cook, I am somewhat daunted at the recipe creation needed to

develop new meringue recipes--- I have thought about this and see them

as something yum and not calorie laden to eat and enjoy-- instead of

nut flour goodies. I am bowled over at the creativity and science

Marilyn--and other SCD bakers -- use to develop new recipes.
