Carbohydrates

One of my goal this year is to eat a more balanced diet. I knew I probably ate more carbohydrates than I probably should and not enough veggies, so I've been trying to eat two veggies a meal and watch how many rolls I eat.

This week I joined gyminee.com. It's a website that tracks your calorie intake and your workouts. I've tried several other websites like this, including fitday.com and mypyramidtracker.gov and I like this one better already. It seems to have an easier user interface.

The only thing I don't like about the site is that I have learned I am eating WAY too many carbs. Every day this week I've gone well over my carb limit at lunch. I do okay on total calories and fat, but as I feared, my diet is not very balanced. There is something about a pie chart that really brings it home.

When I told Andrew about it and he would have guessed I ate 70-80% carbs, so he wasn't surprised at all. Now my challenge is to figure out how to eat low-carb meals while relying on restaurant food during the week!
