Sports Nutritionist

[GLC1968]

See, and I love it when a recipe includes ounces (or grams) so that I can weigh my ingredients and get the right amount every time.

Kacie - in that recipe, are the weights the correct measurement, or are the cups the right ones?

I use the cups and it turns out really well.

I just made a new batch and included a few dark chocolate chips Yum!

Congrats on finding a sports nurtitionist. I tried a few years ago...when I was regularly training for some event and still could not lose weight (and still haven't). I found it very hard to find one, then they were all too busy. One referred me to one of her "clients" that was training for an IM and was also a nutritionist. She was a sweet young thing but not what I need. The days I ate "best" were always the days that I had a lean cuisene pizza for dinner...really now!
I feel I "know" what to do, but I am so inconsistent. But then I again I not sure I really do know what to do!
As for your recipe...cal, pro,carb, fat per serving...do you have that?

I plugged the ingredients into nutritiondata.com and came out with the following for the ENTIRE RECIPE (divide by how many servings you cut it into to get your per serving breakdown):

3488 calories
1173 calories from fat
128g fat (24g saturated)
Cholesterol 423mg
Sodium 2754mg
Total Carbohydrate 445g
Dietary Fiber 51g
Sugars 261g
Protein 200g
Total Omega 3: 947mg
Total Omega 6: 8639mg

45% carbs/34% fats/21% protein

Of course, this is just an estimate, depending on what ingredients you end up using. I plugged in the generic soy protein isolate, Kirkland (Costco) brand organic creamy peanut butter, 1/2 cup each dried raisins, cranberries, and apples, 1 T of canola oil for the pan . . .

The Omega 3:6 ratio is isn't that great (1:9), and the sugar seems high to me, but there you have it!

If you switch the brown sugar for splenda and the peanut butter for almond butter I think it improves both of those issues. Don't you think?

The sugar goes down about 100 grams (for the entire recipe), which is good.

Almonds do not have a good Omega 3:6 ratio though, so this substitution is actually WORSE (1:18):

Omega 3: 1666mg
Omega 6: 29767mg

HA! Opps I mix it up every time I've made them! I did cashew butter, and that was awesome

Oops! I messed up and entered two large egg whites, rather than two large whole eggs. So, I edited the data in the original recipe to reflect that . . .
