Nutridiary

I have been charting my intake on Nutridiary for the last few weeks to make sure I'm getting enough calories. It's a great tool and it has helped me stuff myself a bit more than I probably would have otherwise!

I haven't had any problems in my milk supply quantity-wise since going raw, although a couple of times the baby has complained about the fat countent. So lately I have kept my fat close to 10% which is the max recommended on 80-10-10. This is easy for me as I like to consume a couple of teaspoons of olive oil, scantily used throughout the day on green and tomatoes. I also like nuts, but the dressing is number one for me so these last haven't figured in my diet recently.

Tomatoes have been my number one craving this week, sometimes I have been eating a kilo a day! Today I had some divine cherry tomatoes that had me letting out amorous cries, I had to laugh at myself. Yesterday it was the overripe figs that did that...

Corn on the cob is something I've cut down but not eliminated. It is not the easiest to digest and leads to a bit of acid reflux. However it's more filling than a lot of other raw stuff and sometimes I do get tired of fruit.

I have a stash of raspberries and strawberries for the morrow. I haven't eaten any of these all summer (it's summer here!)
Can't wait. Wondering how strawberries and tomatoes will marry together too...

I've found it really helpful, Cindy, but one can get a bit too focussed on the calorie counting. Also, unless you weigh stuff, I don't know how acurate fruit sizing is! I had trouble working out how many grams a small avo was yesterday - a sure-fire sign of obsessivness!
