Hi all,
I'm new to the book and this forum, but so far it has been great. In week 3 of Stage 1 and my husband has even noticed I have less "wiggle in my walk!" Anyway, I searched for a way to track my meals and 40/30/30 intake online and found www.sparkpeople.com. It's easy to use and it's free. Plus after you put yourself into the system you can change your nutrition goals. It gives you a range of calories and grams per day. I took the information from page 67 in the book where I calculated my calories, carbs, fats, and proteins and entered those numbers on sparkpeople to reflect what I needed to eat on lifting days (the higher numbers) or on non-lifting days (the lower number.) And you can check your percentages of carbs, fats, and proteins at any given time for each day -- so that helps me make adjustments for meals/snacks as the day progresses.
Just thought I'd pass this along since it has been so helpful to me.
Happy training and great success to all!
