Like everyone else, I have my weaknesses when it comes to certain foods:
Diet Coke: If it’s ever declared that this causes cancer, I will accept the fact I am toast. I drink tons of it, but I also drink tons of water. As a matter of fact, I am always drinking something.
Sugar Free Red Bull: I usually have one of these per day on the way to the gym.
5-Hour Energy: At one a day. Better than coffee, but I still wonder what is really in these little red bottles.
Cereal before I go to bed: Every night I have a bowl of cereal. I just get so hungry and it’s the easiest thing to make. I do it so often my dog get’s upset when I don’t have it (he drinks the left over milk).
Payday candy bars: Always after a workout.
I also have another big issue. I don’t like 99% of fruits or veggies. Exception is banana, carrots and lettuce. To accommodate this, I take a multi-Vitamin as well as a mix drink from GNC that contains multiple servings of fruit and veggis. Not the greatest tasting drink, but it does the job.
To help control my diet I use an Iphone App called My Fitness Pal. There are many apps that track diet, but this is the most popular. What is great about it is the bar code scanner. Just scan it with the camera and it enters in all the data. Takes just seconds to enter in a meal. You can also track it online. Livestrong has a great app as well, but no scanner.
The main thing I learned using this app was the amount of sugar I take in. It’s definitely a goal to get that down, but tough to do when one is eating Frosted Flakes.
