Who Knew that Keeping Track of Your Calories Was So Easy
I work late 4 days a week. I have a job that starts at about 5:00pm and ends usually between 3:00 and 4:00 in the morning. I have learned that if I don’t take enough food with me to work, I end up spending whatever money I have on me on snacks from the vending machine or driving down to the 24 hour gas station and paying for high priced snack items that are full of horrible, horrible things, like salt and saturated fat and all kinds of preservatives.
After a while I learned that if I brought enough food to snack on I can usually make it through the night without purchasing a thing. This of course led to me eating Raman noodles which have massive amounts of sodium. Popcorn is another big culprit. It is actually fairly good for you if you don’t buy the really buttered down stuff (of course that is the only kind I buy). I eventually realized that a small Ziploc bag of cereal works well as a hunger deterrent. So does crackers.
Eating all of this stuff can cause a nasty side effect. The disease known to many as the Dunlop Disease (Hey, my belly Dun Lopped over my belt - get it - its funny - really it is - I thought it was - oh well). So I guess the next step to this little feat of trying to figure out my hunger/purchasing problems at work is to find products that are good for me, low in calories, but will sustain me for 10 hours while at work late at night staring at a computer screen.
I found this website today that has a way to count your calories. They call it the food calorie counter. It helps you keep track of all the food that you take in everyday. They not only have information on the foods that you cook at home, but they have the calories for the foods that come from your favorite restaurants (of course you don’t eat at those greasy, fat filled fast food joints that are a staple in today’s society. I know I do —- I mean don’t).
Knowing your calorie intake is very important when trying to control your weight. It is even more important when you are trying to loose weight. This little machine takes into account what you ate, the size of the portion that you ate and keeps a running tally of everything you have eaten that day, week, month or whatever time period you specify. It will also give you a rundown of the sodium, protein, fat and a number of other things that you have consumed. Go ahead. Check out this food calorie counter and see what it can do for you.
