Anyone else using Myfatsecret?

I have signed up and I am using the app on my mobile phone, I have to say I am really impressed - I payed for the same service about 3 years ago and this is just as good. I just wondered about the calorie breakdown at the bottom of the page. My carb intake is a lot higher than protein intake, should it be the other way around? The sight is great for calories but doesnt say much about how I should modify my diet.

I've just downloaded this now and will feed back - it looks good.

Personally my diet is always higher in carbs and I wouldn't have it any other way! It depends what work for you. Some people favour high protein - I definitely don't.

Im veggie so I always find protein a bit of a challenge - im not a 'good' veggie really.

I'm veggie too! Do you eat plenty of pulses? They're absolutely your best bet and so good for you.

Have you tried quorn? I'm a veggie and quorn is a total staple for me, and a fantastic way to get protein (and fibre). Can't recommend it highly enough...

Would also recommend Linda McCartney sausages, just because they taste fab, best veggie sausage I've had by far.

I eat lots of quorn and love it, but I am also in love with bread and I think that is my downfall! Trying to cut right down so have replaced my morning toast with shredded wheat. When I was pregnant cereal made me feel sick so I had toast instead and it has become a bit of a habit! danebury - what do you do with pulses? I have had them in a stew but that is it!
I am loving the barcode scanner on the myfatsecret app for my phone - makes calorie control much easier!

Gosh, what don't I do with pulses?

Falafel
Beanburgers (we like inside out burgers - with a cube of mozzarella inside!)
Chilli
Chickpea cutlets
Kidney bean balls
Curries
Dals
Pilaf-type things
Salads
Dips
