But some are better choices than others.

Banana's are not typically the best choice for a Low GI carb - they are in on the nigher end, and are mostly sugar, little fiber. Mango's and Kiwi are the same. These 3 fruits are in the high 40s - low 50s in GI scale - which is on the higher end of low.

Better choices - apples, cherries, and even pears and peaches are lower GI than the ones you eat.

None of the fruits you eat (besides apples) are among the top 10 in fiber - the top 10 fruits with the most fiber are: raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, prunes, papaya, orange, apple, pear, fig, avacado (yes, it is a fruit).



What is with the cereal all day? Talk about processed - even IF it is high fiber, it is still processed as hell.

Where is your dietary fat? You have basically NO fat in your diet.

Put the times you eat.

Also, in the future, the more information you put in a log, the better. Not everyone remembers you have PCOS or your struggles. Many of us help many different people a day and cannot keep the specific details of ALL posters straight. The more details you have, the more relevant help/ideas you will get.

Definitely. I'll do my best. It's kind of difficult as *times* though. Mainly because my classes require high amounts of concentration (calculus) and such. I mean, my only unannoying classes are gym and history. I don't eat in either of those...sigh...

Actually, my family buys fruit. To be honest, I eat whatever they buy. Berries are both bad and the good ones are EXTREMELY expensive in the winter season. As for dietary fat, I have salmon on a regular basis..maybe 2 times a week. I have flax oil, but have no idea what to do w/it. I refuse to put it on salads. It's absolutely repulsive. I also eat nut butters.

As for the cereal - gimmie a break, please? This is the first time in months that I've bought it. Although I completely agree with you and your point, I eat it in minimal amounts. I'll try to cut it down to one serving tomorrow. <~ me in kitchen

If you gain easily with carbs - get these down. WAAAAYYYYY too high! This should be your protein percentage! Try to keep your carbs in the 20-30% range. Keep your fat higher than your carbs. Get some fish oil, flax, borage....something to supp some fat in your diet. If you have flax oil - just down a teaspoon of it. It is awful. I started taking the caplets, although, the liquid is a better choice. Keep eatin' that salmon!

Careful with this. She IS only 17 and still growing. Not to mention, she has a medical condition. Giving strict advice on percentages might not be the best idea here. I am all for giving guidance and help ..... but with her age and medical condition, general is better. Unless, of course, you are experienced in treating teenagers with PCOS.

I think you're both right. In fact, too much of anything isn't good for anyone even though the ratios came out nearly equal. If I reduce my carbs, I'll reduce overall cravings.


Meal 2: 10:45am

1/3 c old fash. oatmeal (girls, I know steelcut are better but I'm not in the mood to run to the bathroom. I usually eat oats either pre or post workout for energy and storage. I also eat it, occasionally, prior to highly energy consuming events.)
1/4 c cottage cheese
cinnamon

Meal 3: Shake -1pm

1 1/2 zero carb isopure
creatine
glutamine

The creatine is seeming to work very kindly

Meal 4 - 3:45pm

Tuna salad sandwich
--------
can tuna, tsp 1/2 low fat mayo
2 slices bran bread
2 tbsp tomato paste

2 cups tea w/splash milk each

Medical condition or not.....200 grams of carbs on a daily basis is too high. I'm not saying go Keto.....just drop 'em down a bit.

You can drink 2 protein shakes a day if that helps you cut them back a little. I noticed you use the Zero Carb.

The funniest thing happened at the gym today. I've never used a certain row machine in the gym and I recently realized that. So, I go to use the machine and there's an old man on the one next to me. Someone forced the first weight to be stuck so I fixed it and it dropped down. The minute it drops, the old man runs over to me and "shows" me the way to use the machine. First he puts it on a moderate amount and tells me to try that out. I warned him by saying, "I don't think that's nearly enough. I'm very strong." Anyhow, he goes, "Wow! You *are* strong. You must really be eating your eggs and potatoes"

LOL I responded in, "No. Just the eggs. "

As you get into this more and more, you'll find that guys want to help you with everything because your a girl and can't handle that much weight. From the guy wanting to carry your case of soda (diet, of course) out to the car, to the 20# bag of dog food at the pet store.

I guess chivelry (sp) isn't dead?!?!?! Who woulda' thunk it?!?!?!
