[Diabetes-Talk] {Spam?} Diet information

[Jean Menzies]

Thanks, Jeanette,

Yes, I have an iPhone, and will check out those two apps. And I can buy from 
National Braile Press too. Thanks for those ideas.

Jean

Jean, if you have an iphone, My fitness Pal app is pretty good for a lot of 
foods. Also, some place like weightwatchers for a month or two would give 
you lots of good nutrient information if you look on their website at actual 
items and get past their points values. I do not know whether you can buy 
books from National Braille Press, but I think they may have a calorie 
counter which probably has some nutritional information. Also the app 
calorie counter has some stuff. Can't think of any more right now.

Subject: [Diabetes-Talk] {Spam?} Diet information

Hello everyone,

First, I will say up front that I do not have diabetes. I am, however, 
looking for information on eating well with respect to preserving and 
maintaining kidney health. While diet considerations are different, they are 
related. I am not looking for specific diet suggestions. What I am looking 
for are comprehensive lists of foods so that I can track protein, carbs, 
fats, and overall calories. For kidney health, protein is what I need to 
manage right now.

I thought that this group might be a good group to turn to, as I know 
diabetics track food nutrients. i do not eat a lot of packaged food, but 
prefer to cook more from scratch and focus on whole foods. For example, I 
might want to know X amount of chicken has how much protein, etc.? I’m also 
looking for information on daily requirements and serving sizes so that my 
nutrient balance is more in line.

Are there any good resources either in braille, on the Internet, or as an 
iPhone app where I can look up foods by amount to determine nutrient 
content? I do not live in the U.S., so please don’t recommend anything from 
the Library  of Congress.

If this forum is only for diabetics, please let me know, and I will 
unsubscribe. Thanks.

Jean
