Today was a very good day eating wise. If you didn’t catch my earlier post, I compared how calorie counting and the Weight Watchers Points+ program compared. I did a little extra work and logged my meals on both websites today to see the results of both programs. I hope there is not too much information going on here, but I found this really interesting and I hope you will too! I think I’m going to try this method for a few days to see how the foods are effecting me weight loss wise.
Finished out my day with 7 points+ left, yay me.
Here is what The Daily Plate had me finish at, and it also tells you how much of everything you should be having:
The Daily Plate also suggests that you eat back the calories you burn from activity. This method does NOT work for me so I try to stay within point and calorie goal.

Nutrient Breakdown
This day was a little carb heavy so I will have to see how that affects me come weigh in day. I didn’t eat ANY eggs today, which is weird for me. I do feel less puffy (if that makes any sense).
Eating is hard because what works for one person may not work for another. I’m hoping that through this process, I can learn a little more about what helps my body lose weight. It may be added work to be tracking twice, but I like to see the actual nutritional breakdown, which Weight Watchers doesn’t tell you. The main reason I do Weight Watchers is for the added accountability, and that is one of the reason’s I don’t switch over to just counting calories. I love the added support!
Happy Tuesday night!
Anyone out there watch The BIggest Loser Premier?
I had an activity for church this evening, but you better believe I will be watching it on Hulu tomorrow!

/ September 21, 2011I agree with you. Eating is difficult because what works for me (for example) perhaps don’t work for you.

/ September 21, 2011I love the double calculating–it’s so interesting to see how they compare. I love weight watchers too but I think the one flaw is that in our mind 0 points means we can eat all we want and that doesn’t help in the weight loss. It’s good to remember that it does matter what combination of foods will be better and those foods to stay away from–I’m really loving your posts!!! Proud of you!

/ September 21, 2011ANd I wish that they would show you exactly what’s going into your body. I think a lot of people are losing, But are they losing with good healthy food, or Mcdonalds once a day?
