As I keep an eye on the RDI tracker, it's become clear that I'm fixated on the fat, carb and protein ratios. The carb percentage is (unfortunately) the dominating factor -- and really, that comes as no surprise. The problem is that I seem to be focusing more on that pesky carb number then on what carbs I'm actually eating.
The truth is the carbs I eat really aren't all that terribly bad. Yeah, I'll occasionally eat a sandwich with all that wonderful tasting carb laden bread. But I'm not noshing on cookies. Or donuts. Or, even ice cream (despite Blue Bell being back on the shelf). I have to remind myself that some of those carbs are coming from things like brown rice, bananas, avocados, onions, carrots and the like.
So I just need to remind myself that the RDI should be used as a guide, and not as the ultimate litmus test.
