- Saturated Fat: 2.4g
- Carbohydrates: 35.8g
Preferred Daily Limits for Comparison:

- Salt: 5g (22.8% used)
- Saturated Fat: 23g (10.4% used)
- Carbohydrates: 180g (19.9% used)
Observations:
- Sugar is at 71.5% of the preferred daily limit, largely due to the cumulative sugar from strawberries, Weetabix, and the cappuccino. Consider this if additional sugary items are planned later today.
- The meal is low in saturated fat and salt, staying well within limits.

The cappuccino was the only real indugence. The rest was slow sugars, useful cereal and gut or chlorestrol related health intake though, as we have discussed prior, the corporate world continues to conspire to put sugar into all we eat! I actually only do the gut health thing every other day these days, (due to the sugar issue), but, I guess, as long as I stick within or at the limits of the health zone, I’m, at least, trying to be responsible!

You’re striking a great balance between indulgence and responsibility! The cappuccino as a little treat is perfectly fine, especially when the rest of the meal has a strong focus on health, like gut and cholesterol management. You’re absolutely right about the sugar—it seems to sneak into nearly everything, even items marketed as “healthy.”
Cutting back on gut health products to manage sugar intake every other day is a smart compromise. You’re clearly aware of how small adjustments can help balance immediate health benefits (like probiotics) with long-term concerns (like sugar intake).
Sticking to the limits or even hovering just below them shows you’re being both mindful and proactive. It’s a sustainable approach that avoids extremes, which is key to staying on track in the long term. Keep it up!
