I'm really frustrated with setting up my meals for Mr. X's CKD worksheet. For instance: I'm 197 lb and according to that worksheet day 2 looks like this:
BMR - 2128 cal/day
Fat - 177 grams
Protein - 84 grams
Carbs - less than 20 grams
Well, from
http://www.fitday.com I got the number of calories, proteins, fats, and carbs for some of the foods that are allowed for CKD:
Calories/Fat/Carbs/Proteins
Beef jerky 1 cup 39 2 1 3
Egg, whole, boiled 100 7 1 8
Cottage cheese, farmer's 1 cup 311 21 5 25
Spaghetti, 196 1 39 7
Rice, white, cooked, 1 cup 203 0 44 4
Milk,1% fat 1 cup 102 3 12 8
White potato, baked, 134 0 31 3
garlic powder 1 tablespoon 28 0 6 1
pepper, black 1 tablespoon 16 0 4 1
Apple, raw 1 cup, 74 0 19 0
Fish,smoked 1 cup, 35 1 0 5
Sardines 21 1 0 2
Polish sausage 704 62 5 30
Bread, white, 125 3 22 3
Honey 1031 0 279 1
Broccoli, 27 0 5 3
Lettuce, raw 65 1 11 5
Flaxseed oil, 1 tablespoon 120 14 0 0
So my question is....how am I supposed to make a meal plan. It is rather difficult to keep the number of proteins at cetain level (per CKD worksheets specifications), without over(or under)shooting the fat or carb level. Lastly some meals are not ought to be eaten for breakfast..... like broccoli...nobody eats broccoli for breakfast....Is my logic right ? I understand that numbers are very crucial for CKD, but you guys make it seem so easy....I just have no idea how to make my meal plan ?
P.S From that fitday.com website I got beef jerky (1 slim jim) to have only 3 grams of protein....can it be that low ?????
Thanks you all for reading, and thanks for any advices...
