How We Eat: Food Journals of the Weston A. Price Foundation Board of Directors Print E-mail
2003-Apr-28

Note: Values for Board member diets were calculated using the program posted at http://147.208.9.133/default.asp. Many of the items we normally eat were not included in this USDA database so we made the best possible substitutions (vinegar for lacto-fermented beverages, raw vegetables for lacto-fermented vegetables, vegetable oil for cod liver oil, etc.).

Food Diaries
written by Nancy Rothrock, Jan 26 2010
It is interesting that your food journaling shows that you eat regular food and fats. I use a Little Black Book-Daily Food Diary to help with weight loss and this is interesting to see what others are actually eating. It constantly amazes me how fast calories add up and it is also interesting to see that you can excede 2000 calories and still maintain a healthy body weight...with adequate physical activity I am sure. Wish there were more listed!
