Calorie Counting

Just thought I would say a little about calorie counting. A lot of diabetics try to eat a low carb, high protein diet low in fat. This is great. But it is also important to keep track of how many calories you eat on a daily basis.
I recently saw on the Olymics that Mark Phelps eats 10-12 thousand calories a day. And look at how skinny he is. No fat at all. I cannot even imagine how that is possible. Although they did also say that he spends like 5 hours a day in the pool and being in a pool and swimming is supposed to be the best exercise because you have resistance on all your muscles equally. I imagine this has a lot to do with it.
But, me anyway, I can't do that. Or at least I won't even try. So I have to do many things in my lifestyle to maintain my sugar level. Counting calories is part of my dieting plan. I eat 2000 calories at a maximum per day. I try to eat less, but it doesn't always work out. I probably average about 2000. Everybody should discuss with their doctor what their specific daily caloric intake should be and try to adhere to that as closely as possible. It is very easy to do once you get used to it. You just have to make sure when you are looking at the Nutritional Facts information that you are paying attention to the SERVINGS PER CONTAINER amount. If there is 5 servings per container then you have to multiply this times each serving size to have the actual amount of calories are in the whole container. And as far as fast food goes, all fast food websites all contain the nutritional facts for their respective menus. The actual restaurants might not display this information, but their website will.
