NUTRITION CHALLENGE

Time for some research. Here's your challenge:

Go to FitDay.com, open an account(it's free) and log your food for today. At the bottom of your food log you will be able to see how much protein, carbohydrate, and fat you ate that day. Notice that I didn't mention calories. I don't care about calories, I care about protein, carbohydrate, and fat. If you're trying to lose weight, it will be very difficult with carbs above 100g, and very easy with carbs below 50g.

Also, at the bottom of your log there will be a pie chart showing the percentages of macronutrients you consume. Don't be surprised if you get 50-60% fat eating the way I suggest. It happens all the time, and for most people it works very well, even for losing weight. Fat doesn't make you fat, excess carbohydrate makes you fat.

Post macronutrient numbers and ratios (and thoughts) to comments.
