Breakfast: I actually went to breakfast in the dining hall and it was quite good but i think I overdid it a tad, and I’ll need to scale it back a bit. so breakfast: 1 cup cheerios(110), ½ cup not fat organic milk (50 cal), ½ grapefruit (52) 4 tator tops (64 cal), ½ an egg white omelete (30 cal) with mushrooms (5) spinach (0) and turkey (15 cal) 326 total- I think this breakfast was way too big..I know I should either do just an omelete or just cheerios next time. and definitely no tator tots next time! damn you potatoes.
Lunch:I think I did pretty well at lunch, I had a bowl of chicken noodle soup, which I’m estimating was about (200 calories) and then i had 4 saltines (56 cal), 256 total
Snack: 1 string cheese (70 calories), 1 tangerine (40 cal), 1/2 of a rice cake (15) and some roasted soy beans (2 tsp, 95 calories) so, snack total: 220, oops thats a bit high for snackksss..arghhh this is hard
Dinner: Salad, i reformed my salad to be really low calories! yay so, salad: spinach (5 calories), broccoli (20 cal), cucumbers (5 cal) and some balsamic vinegar (5 cal) and two egg whites (30 cal), so salad total is (65) and then for food: 1.5 chicken tenders (100 cal), small scoop of mushroom rice pilaf (210), a bite of tofu (25 cal) and some ketchup (25 cals), so my dinner total was : 425–> but I’m gonna round that to 450 because perhaps some of my estimations were low.
So calorie total for the day (so far…because i see some fruit in my future tonight): 1252
and then adding in my small green apple (40 cal) tonight that puts me at 1292. except i had the munchies and had a 100 cal bag of popcorn. So final calories for the night is 1392. basically 1400, perfect. OOPs.. i did a bit of snacking and had 1 mini hostess cupcake of a 100 pack (33), a small piece of wheat bread (45) and some FF creamcheese(30) which brings my total of the day to 1500 exactly. fine
This makes me really happy that I totally stayed on track today, even though I kinda goofed with the too big breakfast.
also, today’s Workout: 45 min on the elliptical, and 30ish min of weights and abs, and man…i kinda feel it.
Also, I realized that my ideal calorie range is probably 1200-1400 daily, and then the really upper limit, on like special occassions would be 1600. i fell plenty full and happy with that range, and if I go higher than 1400, i usually kinda get mad at myself. so yeah. im feeling kinda good about these food choices. and i was even able to have chicken tenders and keep it within my range. i think that that is kind of the whole point. being able to eat foods I want, but just in moderation.
ok weigh in day tomorrow. im really hoping for some change! tchauuu
