Critique on my food choices
I've stopped using fitday because I found I was obsessing about calories, etc and not how I felt so I am just making healthy choices.
Can someone critique what I ate yesterday and let me know what they think.
Breakfast: 1/2 cup fiber first cereal with 1 cup skim milk
Snack: shake (1/2 cup skim milk, 1/2 cup natural yogurt, 1 frozen banana, 1 tbsp ground flax seeds)
Lunch: 1 bowl homemade soup (leftover elk roast, leftover elk gravy, carrots, potatoes, celery, beef oxo cube), 1 slice 100% whole wheat bread
Exercise I did 14 minutes/1.3 miles of hard work on the gazelle and 5 minutes of weight lifting.
Snack: apple
Snack: 15 homemade banana chips (nothing added to them)
snack: 1.5 slices cheese with 6 ancient grain crackers
Dinner: medium sized broiled chicken breast (no skin, no bone), 1/4 large sweet potato, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 cup green beans.
Snack: orange
I also drank about 3L of water. I am nursing my 14 month old son so need to consume a bit more than a regular person. I am 5'7, 178 lbs.
I did learn I need to eat more for breakfast, that fiber cereal alone didn't do it for me. I was also starving in between lunch and dinner, maybe I need to add protein to one snack so I don't need to eat 3 snacks in between meals.
Today so far I have had:
Breakfast: 1/2 cup oatmeal with craisins, dried currants, dried apricots, walnuts.
Snack: 1/2 cup natural yogurt with 1 tbsp sugar free raspberry jam
Lunch: big bowl of soup (same as yesterday) with 1 slice 100% whole wheat bread, 1 cup salad (lettuce, carrot and cabbage) with 1 tbsp low fat italian dressing.
Exercise: WATP 2 mile express (30 minutes)
