Since I started this whole low sugar thing, I think it’s a good idea to keep track of what I’m eating on a daily basis.

Breakfast:

• 1/2 cup oatmeal – 1 sugar
• 1 tsp. brown sugar – 4 sugars
• 1 tsp cinnamon – 0 sugar
• coffee, black – 0 sugar

Total – 5 sugars

Lunch

My famous tacos w/ pinto beans

• Ground beef – 0 sugar
• shredded cheddar cheese – 0.7 sugar
• lettuce – 0.3 sugar
• pinto beans – 0.5
• flour tortilla – 2 sugars
• salsa – 2.1 sugars
• green chilies (cooked in the meat) – 0 sugar
• jalapenos (mixed with the pinto beans) – 1.0 sugar
• Aztec sugar free green tea – 0 sugar

Total – 7.6 sugars

Dinner

• KFC grilled chicken breasts – 0 sugar
• KFC mashed potatoes and gravy – 2 sugars
• KFC green beans – 2 sugars
• Diet Pepsi – 0 sugar

Total – 4 grams sugar

Snacks:

• mozzarella cheese sticks (2) – 2 sugars

Total grams of sugar for today = 18.6

A little over my goal of 15 grams per day. I will try to cut it down better tomorrow.

How are you doing at reaching your goals today?
