today was a really good day exercise and food wise.
Breakfast: oatmeal (120), string cheese (70), red bull (10) -i know the redbull’s not so good, but i didnt get a great amount of sleep last night, and i didnt want to be lagging all day. total (200)
Lunch: protein bar (190) and banana (110). i know lunch was smallish but I knew I was having a rather large dinner, so i wanted to be safe (total 300)
before gym snack: one yogurt (70) and one piece of wheat bread (45) with ff cream cheese (40) (155)
dinner: chicken, mexican rice and some tortilla chips, a bit of grated cheese and lettuce. I have no clue how many calories that is but i’ll put it at (550) to be safe. celery and carrots. and half a churro. (150) (700)
total calories for the day: 1355
workout: 45 min elliptical, 30 min weight training
i think this a really good lesson of how one big meal can kind of determine your days calories. i’m really glad i planned this out because i would have felt really guilty having a bigger breakfast and lunch and then the dinner i had. i knew that the meeting i was going to was going to have a dinner with catered food, and I didn’t want to miss out on it or be stuck eating too much, so i’m really glad i planned the day out well. go me!
alright off to clean, organize and do work!
