After seeing a segment on Oprah about calorie restriction/life extension, Jennifer and I have been measuring everything we eat to see just how many calories we’re eating in a day. Weird, huh? It’s tedious but this free software, CRON-O-METER, makes it interesting. Interesting, I mean, for a dedicated health nut like myself, anyway.
The software is connected to 3 massive food databases, so anything you are eating will be in there (unless you’re eating things like pencils, paperclips, and tree bark). It automatically calculates all the vitamins, minerals, lipids, carbs, protein and gives you a complete picture of your nutrition. CRON stands for calorie restriction optimal nutrition.
For breakfast I just (mixed up in a bowl) a cup of cherries, a cup of blueberries, almonds, pecans, and a cup of unsweetened soy milk.
That’s exactly 441 calories.
You don’t need to count calories. Americans are so conscious about calories but are still the fattest people in the world. Just eat healthy…stop eating mean and saturated fat and sugar and eat more fruits vegetables and whole grain fibrous bread…duh
