Happy New Year to you as well!
I know I eat a lot of crap, but the details kind of get buried. I’m thinking (hoping?) that seeing the details will encourage me to make a few somewhat more intelligent choices. For example: a bottle of beer has 160 calories, but a glass of cognac has 68: hurray for data! š
One thing that kind of surprised me in my first two days of keeping track: an egg salad sandwich has a ton of cholesterol. In terms of calories and fat, my turkey and bacon sandwich today was about the same as my egg salad yesterday, but that egg salad sandwich gave me 435 mg of cholesterol, which is 149% of my daily requirement.
I upgraded my LiveStrong account from “free” to “paid” (annual fee of $49): that turns off the adverts (which I didn’t find offensive anyway). I mostly think of the fee as a donation for a useful product that isn’t normally charged for. But one extra feature I get for my money is a daily nutrition label. That breaks down all your vitamins and minerals as well- it looks like the nutrition label on a package of food. I sort of like that, as I’ve often wondered what nutrients I’m missing, and whether adding a multivitamin is a good idea (for me, it apparently is).
