Day 6: Supertracker

Surprisingly, nothing much to report.

Today went much better than yesterday on so many levels.

 I stayed below my sugar mark, but should have eaten more vegetables.  I've been playing around on the USDA's website called "SuperTracker".  In terms of tracking your food, the app I've been using is easier for finding exactly what you eat.  For example, if I get a sandwich at Panera Bread it literally takes less than a minute to find the exact sandwich and plug it into the MyFitness Pal program.  I've been having a harder time tracking precisely what I've eaten on the SuperTracker, but it does have some really neat graphs and a link that shows you if you are getting enough vitamins and minerals in your diet.  I found that part fascinating.  It made me glad that I supplement my diet and my children's diet with decent multivitamins.

Here's the website if you want to check it out:
