Question for food loggers/trackers
|
Can't Post

As a way to get serious about losing those last few pounds and the recommendation of so many of you here, I signed up for a free 7 day membership of calorieking. I have been tracking my food for just about 4 days and have a couple of questions for you. Calorieking has a little denotation of the bottom of the page that lets you know if you are eating too much or too little fat, carbs, and protein. I believe it is based on a ratio of 20-30% fat, 40-60% carbs, and i don't know what for protein (as I am usually ok in the section). Anyhow, each day it says my carbs and fats are too high. However, most of the fats I eat are from eggs, avocada and nuts. And the carbs come mainly from fruits and veggies as I try to eat a modified paleo-diet as I find I recover better and generally feel better staying away from processed carbs. So I am not eating a ton of bread, fried foods, etc. But in the end, my calories are in check.
I guess my question is how worried should I be that my fat and carbs are coming back as listed high? Or do I just worry about calories in and out? If I should worry about fat and/or carbs, anyone have a good snack suggestion that is high in protein but low in fat?
Thanks and guess I need to revisit all of those nutrition books I bought a few years back.
