[Diabetes-talk] Another question...like I haven't sparked enoughconversation? LOL!

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

You'd be surprised how many calories can be consumed in a day. Most
wraps contain anywhere from 110 to 150 calories in a single serving.
That's why a lot of people keep a food journal when dieting so you can
actually add up how many calories have been consumed. When dieting, or
just trying to eat healthier, one suggestion is to eat pre-planned meals
and snacks, and do not eat food from a bag or box as most people are
more likely to over-eat when doing this instead of just dishing out a
serving size. And measuring food in general is very helpful too so you
know exactly how many carbs and calories you are consuming at a time,
which helps especially for diabetics.

Sincerely,

gosh I wouldn't know what to eat to have two thousand calories a day.
Most entertaining. We sure are getting into the salads now and the raps.
Boy are they good. With wheat tortilla as the rap.
