Typical diet a day is something like the following:-Breakfast = Porridge or bran breakfast
Lunch = Jacket potato with tuna fish and salad.Slice of bread.
Dinner = Spaghetti bolognese or pasta and tunaObviously not the same everday but roughly the same kind of meals.
Thanks for any advice.
Answer:
It's not really what you eat that matters, it's how much of it you eat. I have diabetes so I have to watch my carbs. The doctor told me to eat between 45-60 carbs per meal, I usually aim for no around 45 though because 60 sounds too high to me. As long as you aren't eating huge helpings, what you listed sounds fine.
Not too bad,are you doing any excersise with eating those carbs.
as long as you always eat a protien serving with your carbs, you should be fine. take the number of carbs you eat times four and divide by your total calorie intake. carbs should make up fourty five to sixty percent of your daily intake. it's your energy and brain source, so if you are trying to watch your weight, cut your total food intake, not your carbs!
I think it depends on your activity level. If you're running marathons then no, you're going to need all those energy stores. If you sit on you butt all day then yes way to many. If you are pretty active and not overweight then don't worry about it. If you feel a little overweight then try substituting some of those carbs with protein.
That depends on whether you are male or female and what your goals are. Are you trying to lose weight? Are you tryng to gain muscle? Watch the tuna, it is high in mercury. If you are eating it every day, you can get sick. Same with a lot of fish these days. Do more meat. Chicken, turkey, and try to get at least 4 ounces of red meat in your diet every week. Oh, and watch the pasta, too.
Well it depends as well do you eat snacks during the day and for your main meals how much servings are you eating. If you think you are eating to many carbs just cut down on the serving size. Always eat though... you will need your energy for the day just cut down. I did thought the same thing and what I did was track what i ate and how many carbs were in it then I set a goal If i went past the goal I set then I ran.
It kind of depends on your metabolism. Some people can tolerate carbs, some can't. Also, although the bran is a "good" carb, meaning it is converted to sugar fairly slowly, potatoes are not, and the pasta depends on whether it is whole wheat or white pasta. The first is good, the second bad, as is white rice. But if you aren't having any problem with your blood sugar or with gaining weight, it's OK. However, it would be much better to get your carbs from more complex sources like vegetables, broccoli, carrots, squash, greens, etc., than from pasta and other starches. And you do need to watch how much tuna you eat.
My philosophy tends to lean towards how much you burn, not how much you consume. As long as you are expending more calories than you are taking in, you're likely to lose weight. Carbs are also extremely important because they're the number one source for energy. The minimum recommendation (at least the last I knew of) is 120g per day, but that's the low end. I eat a lot of carbs most everyday, and I don't gain much, if any. So the bigger question is how active are you? If you do moderate to heavy activity, you should be fine eating a lot of carbs. If light to moderate, either pick it up some or chart your weight gain. If it's negligible, don't worry about it, but if you're consistently gaining 5-10+lbs a month, then you need to rethink your diet and activity levels.
