Today I met a free tool, can provide to our government, the United States of
america.In the army health and human services, the National Institutes of
health, the tool is available.This tool is called an interactive menu planner
and worth taking a few minutes to explore. The tool was originally designed to
appear as a menu planners who will use every day in order to calculate the total
calories, fat and carbohydrate content for all three meals a day.Because the
interface a bit "clumsy", the tool will need time to plug in the food one day, I
don't think this is really feasible in everyday use.However, this does not mean
that it is not useful.In the browser to load up, for himself to go have a look
when I pointed out a few things, I found interesting.
The first thing you need to do is to choose the number of daily calories you
intend to consumption.This number can range from 1200 to 2000.No guidelines as
to how many calories, you should start with such knowledge to choose a
number.Body size and other factors (less fat you lose), type of occupation,
amount of daily exercise, and age should be considered.Your doctor may suggest.
Once you set your breakfast, lunch and repeat this process continued.When you
finish your lunch menu, the process is repeated.If you have some calories, you
can go, give yourself a snack; if you more than you can at any time, calories
will pop up warning message. There are a few things about this practice, I
believe in special education.The first is to what extent the daily calories can
be dropped, the simple things such as beverage.For breakfast I choose a bagel.I
carefully observed when I slowly adding a tablespoon of butter cheese and some
jelly, think they will substantially increase.To my surprise, a few spoonfuls of
jam and a tablespoon of butter and cheese added only 75 calories.This is a
bagel, is the main culprit, the future is as high as 320 calories! I decided to
have a look how many daily total will be affected, by selecting a large "Kool
Aid" as a beverage.I have children in the house and "Kool Aid" is available and
convenient.But it was a good decision? For my lunch, I choose "8 oz.Kool Aid "as
a beverage.But wait, you know how a 8 ounce cups? I inserted in the "2" service
is only for safety.I fear, single beverage of choice to 232 calories, or just
over 11% of my day! I soon "zero" "Kool Aid" and choose water.
