Sorry for the horrible formatting. I started using Google Documents for my Excel spreadsheet and the formatting doesn't follow through when I paste into Blogger. Boo. I'll have to figure something else out. Also started leaving out the more obscure nutritional information like thiamin and biotin (what is that stuff anyways??)

Anyway, it appears I ate way less than my recommended caloric intake today. I feel vaguely hungry but not enough to do anything about it. I also drank the right amount for my recommended water intake, which probably explains the increased number of trips I took to the bathroom today! That also probably helped with the hunger. I also did a lot better on both cholesterol and sodium intake today; the latter was a lot higher yesterday due to the deli meat in my sandwich. Ew!

I'll have to do research on some of the nutritional values that I'm not really hitting, like potassium and iron. I think bananas contain potassium but I don't know what a deficit is doing for my health. The internet does have all the answers though!

Food Diary

I'm going to try something new here, and I might not follow through with it but it's worth a shot. I'd like to write down everything that I eat and its nutritional information. I'm not doing this to lose weight but I'm interested in whether or not I'm eating healthy. I'll have to do some research on my recommended daily intake of protein, carbs, etc. but for now I'll settle for making note of what I eat and what's on the packaging. The easiest way to do this will be in Excel but I'll try to post daily recaps of what I eat along with summaries of my daily caloric and nutrient intake. We'll see where this leads...
