Nutridiary, 80-10-10 and a dumb question!

Date: September 11, 2009 10:56PM Hi All,
I've just looked at the Nutridiary website and am starting to look at the 80-10-10 diet. I have what is probably considered a stupid question to ask someone! I have logged what I have eaten today so far into Nutridiary.com (2 bananas, 2 kiwi fruit, bunch of grapes and a coffee) and I'm already at 12% fat for the day. Am I correct in saying that on 80-10-10 I should be trying to keep less than 10% fat? The Nutridiary log says something like I should be trying to keep my intake at less than 100% fat for the day. I think I'm not understanding something. My concern is that if I keep eating more bananas etc today I'll be way over the 12% fat that I'm already at. Can someone help please?

Date: September 12, 2009 12:21AM Hmm, I'm not familiar with nutridiary itself, I use cron-o-meter, but those fruits don't have that much fat, your total should be closer to like 3 or 4%.. So I'm not really sure what to suggest. Does it have a pie chart showing % calories from carbs/protein/fat? What's the breakdown look like for each entry, are they each showing that high of fat? Eating just fruits and vegetables should leave you with around 4-6% fat for the day tops. (assuming no avocado, durian, coconut, nuts, seeds or oils) Re: Nutridiary, 80-10-10 and a dumb question!

Date: September 12, 2009 12:29AM I just checked there as a guest, bananas had 3% fat, kiwi 7%, grapes 2%
Did you add anything to your coffee? That should be like 0 cals Double-check your fruit entries, a tip when searching to limit results is to add "raw" to everything you type. Re: Nutridiary, 80-10-10 and a dumb question!

Date: September 12, 2009 12:53AM Thanks everyone for your help. I'll go back and check my logs. I think what has not helped is I had fullcream milk in my coffee which nutridiary says is 48% fat. I guess this has not helped! Re: Nutridiary, 80-10-10 and a dumb question!

Date: September 12, 2009 01:16AM LoL that'll do it. Since you probably only used a little, at the end of the day your fat % should still balance out quite low. Best to cut out dairy though, and coffee, if you can.
Funny how 2%, 1%, etc are all measures of their fat by WEIGHT, not by calories. So whole milk is 48% calories from fat, 2% is 35% fat calories, even skim milk is like 5% fat calories. Re: Nutridiary, 80-10-10 and a dumb question!

Date: September 12, 2009 01:39AM Ahh, it's becoming clearer now. I didn't realise that the milk was % fat by weight and not by calories. I'm learning heaps!
Many thanks again for taking the time to reply. Julie. Re: Nutridiary, 80-10-10 and a dumb question!
