Didn't sleep well but woke up in a bit better mood. The weather helps. I'm excited they have started working on the room already. I can't wait until it's finished.
Protein, Fat and Carbohydrate
Protein, fat and carbohydrate are reported as total intake (grams), as a percentage of total calories, and then are compared to the recommended range defined in Dietary Reference Intakes for Energy, Carbohydrates, Fiber, Fat, Protein and Amino Acids (Macronutrients), National Academy of Sciences, 2002.
Protein: Recommended range 10 - 35% of total calories
Fat: Recommended Range 20 - 35% of total calories for adults and 25-35% of total calories for 14 to 18 year olds.
Carbohydrate: Recommended range 45-65% of total calories.
Percentage of total energy (calories) coming from protein, fat and carbohydrates were calculated as follows:
% of calories coming from fat = grams of fat x 9 kcal/g divided by total energy (kcal) x 100
For example, if the user ate 60 grams of fat and 1800 kcal this is how you would calculate percentage of calories coming from fat:
(60 g fat x 9 kcal) divided by 1800 x 100 = 30 % of calories coming from fat (rounded to nearest whole number)
% of calories coming from carbohydrate = grams of carbohydrate x 4 kcal/g divided by total energy (kcal) x 100
For example, if the user ate 200 grams of carbohydrate and 1800 kcal this is how you would calculate percentage of calories coming from carbohydrate:
200 g carbohydrate x 4 kcal divided by 1800 kcal x 100 = 44 % of calories coming from carbohydrate (rounded to nearest whole number).
% of calories coming from protein = grams of protein x 4 kcal/g divided by total energy (kcal) x 100
For example, if the user ate 100 grams of protein and 1800 kcal, this is how you calculate percentage of calories coming from protein:
100 g protein x 4 kcal divided by 1800 x 100 = 22 % of calories coming from protein (rounded to nearest whole number)
% of calories coming from alcohol = grams of alcohol x 7 kcal/g divided by total energy (kcal) x 100
Alcohol is not displayed in the EATracker report but the kcalories contributed are included in the total.

Today I was bummed out all day. It was hard because it also was my Mom's Bday and I couldn't cheer up. I felt bad about that but she seemed to understand.
I never got my walk in tonight but I'm happy I did my food journal. I'm hoping as I take little steps it will start to get easier. I saw pictures of myself at the headshave and I it was like a knock on the head saying you need to make changes.
I want to get back to where I was before when I worked so hard. I know that anything is possible. I just need to focus and get working on taking care of me.
Kudos for raising over 3000.00 for OSMH Oncology Unit!!

I'm not sure what my starting weight is so I am guessing. We'll find out tomorrow when I go weigh myself at my Mom's. Maybe I'll move the scale over here. I don't like that but it might be more useful.
