Yesterday orange juice200 cal half tin mushy peas 76 cal half tin chicken in whitesauce 254 cal 100g pasta 400 cal half tin fruit cocktail 128 cal = 1058 cal. Maybe a bit less pasta -son cooked it so I'm a bit unsure.
Edit to correct Actually 200 ml (not cals) orange juice that's only 140 cals but also forgot 3x tea with semi skimmed milk so total cals probably about the same or a tad more.
Concentrated food are really not recommended, it is so quick to turn to glucose, that even a mouthful is worse than a high GI bread.
Whitesauce, manufactured sugar laden, carbs by the spoonful.
Fruit cocktail, more fructose and depending on the juice, too much sugar and carbs.
Pasta, probably 90% carbs, even a small spoonful is too much.
Skimmed milk has had the natural goodness taken out and unnatural sugar to get the taste.
If you want to lose weight, every time you eat similar foods high in carbs and sugar, the less likely you are to shed pounds.
I will repeat my life experiences with food and how to control your metabolism.
Don't count calories, don't count energy in or out to balance, that doesn't work.
Eat to your meter, discover the foods that continually spike you too high.
Avoid the food that will spike you.
It is the carbs and sugars that have a bearing on your insulin response to that food, if there is any imbalance in the hormonal response, then the spike, which is the elephant in the room, and you should avoid, with the probability of insulin resistance if you are diabetic, the likelihood that you will gain weight.
Too much unused insulin in your blood is bad for your health.
Only carbs and sugar have an effect on how much insulin you produce.
That is the simplified version.
That is a lot of carbs!
