And so it’s a day in january that i find a site out there that helps you stay on track with what you eat, what activities are done each day and so on. It’s called Calorie Count - A free service from about.com. So i thought ‘why not’ and sign up…nothing beats a free service site that can help you stay fit or even lose weight.

What i saw which was pretty cool is the fact that you have the ability to “tag” the foods you eat so that you can easily track it again with a few clicks making it easier to add to your food log on a daily basis, same goes what activities you do. They have a huge database full of any food or activity you can think of, including ping pong! The calories burned or eaten are automatically tracked and so it gives you an idea of whats done daily. this site is actually growing on me because i find myself wanting to stay focused and wanting to keep track of what i eat, and because i’ve kept up pretty much from day 1 i know exactly what i can have each day and what activities i need to accomplish.

i didnt mention before that when you sign up (it’s free), you go thru a list of questions to find out what body type you are and what kind of lifestyle you live and by that they’ll be able to tell you your projected date to reach whatever goal you decide on.

heres my usual list of what i eat and do:

Hunger is unpleasant. In fact, it can be downright embarrassing when your tummy grumbles for your attention at the most inopportune times. When you’re watching your calorie intake to lose or manage your weight, there will be days when you might experience ongoing hunger, even when you’re eating at the top of your calorie range. It can be so distracting and debilitating that you’re ready to throw in the towel. If deprivation is what eating healthy is all about, then forget it!

Not so fast. Don’t give up on your new way of eating until you add what could be the missing ingredient back into your eating and weight loss program. What’s the elusive “secret” to feeling fuller, longer? “Satiety.”

What the hell is Satiety you ask, it’s that pleasant feeling of fullness you get as you eat, when you’re no longer hungry, but not overly stuffed. You are just satisfied beyond desire. The more satisfied you feel after a meal, the less you’ll eat later. So how do you increase “Satiety” without eating MORE…heres a couple tips from what I’ve collected around this “world wide web”:

Eat Low Density Foods

• Eat broth-based soups like chicken broth and vegetable broth.
• Eat leafy greens like lettuce, baby spinach and mixed salad greens with fat-free dressing.
• Eat fruits like apples, blueberries, cantaloupe, grapefruit, oranges, peaches, strawberries and watermelon.
• Eat non-starchy vegetables like asparagus, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, celery, cucumbers, tomatoes and winter squash.
• Just a tip, start your meal with a bowl of broth-based soup or low-calorie leafy green salad to fill up on fewer calories.

Fill up on fiber

The fiber in carbohydrates helps prevent those peaks and valleys in blood sugar levels that can cause cravings and poor food choices. They also may stimulate a satiety hormone in the brain.

Protein, Protein, Protein!

Protein appears to help prolong satiety more than carbohydrates or fat can. Meeting your protein needs is important, but eating more protein than your body needs will NOT boost your metabolism. Eat more lean protein from meats, chicken, seafood, low-fat dairy, legumes, lentils and soy products. Prepare your meat using low-fat cooking methods like grilling and baking.

Drink Up!

Drinking water can help with your weight management program, especially if you are substituting calorie-containing beverages like regular soda, juice and sweetened coffee for water, which is healthy and calorie-free. For some people, drinking water throughout the day also keeps their hands busy so that they’re less likely to eat out of habit or boredom. I try to drink 8 glasses of water a day, but when your neck deep in work you tend to forget and then it times to clock out.
