Topic > The Importance of Food Tracking - 1093

So I took it into consideration and on the second day I was able to get the required amount of dairy and protein foods. The only problem that day was that I was missing grains and vegetables. I became so focused on dairy and protein foods that I neglected the necessary amount of vegetables and grains. In fact, I found myself eating too much fruit instead of dividing it into the other two categories. In my mind I thought day three would be easy, especially since I know what to eat. On the third day, the tracker said I had fallen below the required amount for grains and dairy; instead I overdo it with protein foods and vegetables. Even though there is a variety of foods in my diet, I think I should know how to divide everything proportionately. For example, my dairy consumption would fall into the "OK" category if I drink 3 cups of milk every day or if I drink a cup of milk and eat a cup of yogurt. Although fruit consumption tends to overtake, I can solve the problem by not constantly eating bananas as a snack. I could replace them with grapes or half a banana instead. My grain intake clashes with my vegetable intake; I should probably cut back
