Daily intake Thread
 

HHMM thought it would help if we posted our foods and or calorie/ carb/ fiber intake for ourselves or others to help, if we want you can add exercise too It may be helpful it we posted the plan we are on for new people to understand out intake.


(I have not started exercising just yet but when I do I can expect the weight to stop dropping while my muscles start to build back up.)

starting yesterday intake was actually terrible

diet. PP

supplement just potassium and mag. (nned to start mvi's)

food:
breakfast 2 soft boiled eggs and 1/4 cup fiber one'
missed lunch
supper crispy salad from mcd's with ranch
snack 3 tbs peanutbutter


calories/fat/carbs/ fiber/ protien

809/52/45/13/54

water sucked too but made up for it in the evening drank half a piture of water.

Great thread Sue! I'm in! Do we post today from the previous day...that might be better so this way you can post your daily intake all at once! Just a thought...what do you think?

BTW, on the exercise thingy...I don't think you'll see a stall when you start exercising (depending on what type of exercise). If you start slow with some cardio...you can add weights later. Cardio is really what burns the fat off for me personally. Weights burn fat too by increasing the BMR. A combination of both is optimal...but when I started, it just was easier for me to start with cardio only. Joyce

Yes i think it would be better to post either the day before's or in the evening the day (or you can edit the post)

stall is not a stall at all it is just that muscles weigh much more than fat and takes less space so as i gain muslce and lose fat I will shrink but stay at the same weight. (if i work hard enough i may even gain for a short time I have done that before) I actually have a very large muscle mass waiting to be built back up. (example at 150 i was a size 14 tight with no exercise at 170 exercising i was a tight 12

Good idea Sue. Here's my day so far. I'll edit later.

Plan: PP

B: kefir protein shake(berries, whey protein), sugar free latte with calorie countdown milk
L: chef salad at Cracker Barrel with bleu cheese dressing.
D: wings with BBQ sauce, left over cauliflower.
Supplements: 1 gram L-carnitine, a multi called Four Pillars (it's actually 4 pills that covers a bunch of stuff), Ca, Mag, CoQ10.

Exercise: does 4 hours of shopping count? ;)

I got carried away with some BBQ sauce on my wings!:eek: That stuff can be dangerous!

LOL it is a typo. thanks for the giggle.

Nausus40 you are eating a dangerously low calorie and not nutritionally sound diet these last two days. Do you plan to up and balance your intake? I hope that doesn't sound harsh but I am concerned for you. :hug:

Here's me so far (it's 4:42 here):

49 oz water
coffee with 1/4 cup unsweetened soy,two tablespoons cream, liquid splenda.
1 slice flaxbred toasted with a slice of swiss cheese.
One cup shredded lettuce(taco style) with taco meat and a tablespoon of cottage cheese.
1 string cheese for snack.
1/4 fresh steamed green beans

Expect dinner to be: Steamed cauliflower and brocc with chopped onion and yellow pepper along with a sirloin burger topped with gorgonzola.

183grams Protein, 108 grams Carb, 14 grams Fiber, 37 grams Fat

No offence taken, the last two days were low intake really bad no vegies either, I know I am not usually this bad, just did not cook, MMM cabage salad sounds great that should help!!

Joyce-I take it this is a high carb day for you?

Nope Petra....it's a low carb day! I forget to put measurements on oatmeal which is only 1/2 cup and protein shake has 0 carbs.

Wow, that is a low carb day? I'd guestimate that at about 100 grams of carbs and about 10-12 grams of fiber, depending on exact size of each item. What is a high carb day for you? Not being cheeky, just curious as to what your body needs/responds to, as we are all different. For me, low carb is under 50 grams net a day (I actually stay between 20-40 grams).


Nasus, I love cabbage! I cook it with onions and extra virgin coconut oil.

Wow SoulB!!! That was a pretty good guesstimate! I logged in my foods this morn to thedailyplate.com. Here's the breakdown:

Total Calories: 1354
Macros: 48%P/22%F/29%C
183g Protein/108g Carb (14g Fiber)= Net 94grams Carb/37g Fat

Also, I didn't eat the Orange and only had 1/4 cup fresh pinnapple and had the Grilled chicken breast last night but skipped the salad and blue cheese! Everything else is accurate...I'll update it now!

SoulB - My high carb days consists of more nuts, beans, and yams so my total carb intake is around 130-140 grams.

Oh, thanks for reminding me. I want to get some cabbage to cook this week. I love it too. I've never tried it in coconut oil but I like almost everything else in it-why not?

I had a pretty carby breakfast today but it was very healthy-Greek yogurt with fresh berries. I'm planning something really extravagant for dinner: PRIME RIB It was on a ridiculous sale last week for Easter so I bought a small one and am going to cook it today. OMG! Maybe I'll cook the cabbage to go with it. Man will I have some fantastic left overs this week.

did not eat the cabage last night just went to bed. But today I am making an effort to make sure Ido better, that was 3 days of very low cals.

2 egg
fiber one (i do not vary to much)
salad w 1 oz ham ranch dressing
2 oz very sharp cheese

Dinner

hamburger on 2 slices of low carb bread with provolone cheese and a large of lettuce
brussels (I ate a big pile of them!!!)

Intake for the day

1402 cal/ 91 fat/ 50 total carb/ 20 fiber/ 102 protien

Sue-are you reaching your protein minimum?

;) I know my nutritional counts, that's for sure!

I have not figured my protien min at this time. I am not sure where to find it. I used to know, and it was based on your lean body mass, but I have no clue at this time where i am (almost don't want to know) for my bmi

Are you doing PP or another plan, Nasus?

The general dietary recommendation is 0.8 g/kg.

I made a really great breakfast. :carrot:

I cooked all the following into a scramble:

Extra protein tofu (5 oz.)
Zucchini (1 small, sliced and chopped)
Spinach (1 cup)
Arugula (1 cup)
Onion (3 rings, minced)
Garlic (2 cloves)
Pecans (1 oz.)
Extra virgin coconut oil (1 T.)

And then topped it with:

Baby grape tomatoes (3, sliced in half)
Jalapeño stuffed green olives (2, sliced)
Green salsa (tomatillo based, 3 T.)
Avocado (1/2, sliced)

And ate a low carb tortilla (14 grams of fiber 5 grams of net carb) with it.

In PPLP they made it simple and just put a table in the book where you could look it up based on your height and weight. I looked yours up. It comes out to 34 grams/meal or 102 grams/day. That is what mine is too but if I do the whole LBM and activity level thing it comes out a little less. I think they estimated the most you could possibly need based on that weight and height and just used it for everyone. Aim for 100 and you will probably be close.

I shoot for 100 or as close to it as possible, especially on lifting days.

thanks i will have to increase a bit I usually used to hit 100 to 120 or greater I cut down to 2 eggs and only 1 can of tuna. that droped my regualr intake down quite a bit.

PP but I need to read the book again have not picked it up in a few years! It is great for motivation

I usually just aim for 1gram per body weight. I try to reach 165 grams, but usually end up around 120-130. Hey...aim for the sky and maybe you'll hit the moon! Damn SoulB you certainly eat alot (it's harder than most people think to eat alot of healthy whole foods)...one thing's for sure...I definately know where I'm going for vegatable creativity!!! I wouldn't think you would have so many choices...but I can smell that delish food all the way from VA! Okay..back to my lousy food accountability:

So Far today (will edit this eve)

1/2 oz cashews
1 cup iceburg salad
1 chicken breast
2 tsp blue cheese dressing
3 cups coffee w/soy milk & splenda
1/2 oz cashews
1/2 cup cottage cheese (4%milkfat)
Zero Carb Whey Isolate Protein Shake
1 banana
4 strawberries
1/2 cup fresh pinnapple chunks

Gosh...I know this is bad before I input this into thedailyplate.com. Not enough calories (most of them eaten later in the day).

I know...I know...hideous! I'm working hard today helping my daughter unpack and getting all the stuff we moved re-assembled!

Hope you all are having a wonderful day!

I'm with Bambi. SoulBliss-you are certainly very creative with your diet.

Here's what I have so far. Will edit later. I think I'm going to go over a little again.
All I can say about this dinner is OMG!!!

B: 7 oz. Fage 2% Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup blueberries, 3/4 cup strawberries, sugar free latte
S: chocoperfection bar
L: left over dreamfields pasta with vodka sauce (that's the end of that)
D: prime rib with horseradish sourcream, cabbage cooked in coconut oil, glass of shiraz

Exercise: walked dogs for 30 minutes.

I'm on the money for carbs. I think Fitday may have underestimated the number of calories in my primerib. I didn't weigh it, just my best guess.

Pro:100
ECC: 40
Fiber: 26
Fat: 101??
Calories: 1741

Ugh: I suck. Here is what I have had today thusfar (it is 3:00 p.m. here)
B: Coffee with soymilk and three tbsp. cream/splenda, one scrambled egg, two pieces bacon.
L: Cheesecake pudding with blueberries ( I know...not a shred of protein to be seen but it was just sitting there...calling my name.) One square of a Chocoperfection bar (why ruin my sweets end run?)
Dinner: In its planning stages but I believe it will be a salad with cucs and chicken salad along with a glass of merlot. Well, I can be sure about the Merlot part because I just poured a glass to go with my net surfing.

tee hee.

sc

p.s. Exercise: Does walking around the Antiques Mall while DD9 and DH are at the regular mall count?

I *do* eat a lot (I love good food!) but when I cook veggies they lose a lot of bulk (water). The spinach and arugula, for instance, cooked down to less than 1/2 cup combined and the olives and tomatoes made about 3 T. combined.

I am glad you and Petra and others are enjoying my creativity. ;) I'm eating for health, fat loss and muscle building, (oh, and pleasure too!!!) so everything is pretty carefully planned. I LOVE to cook. It actually isn't bothering me at all to cook for DH and DD (starchy things) but it's difficult to not tase things to be sure they are just right. So, now, I just ask DD to. She's got a great palate anyway. :)

It's 3pm here and I'm just having the second meal of the day. I had some unsweetened vanilla almond milk around 1pm.

Here's what I just cooked:

12 oz. artichoke hearts in vegetable broth, 12 oz. seitan (wheat gluten/protein)1/4 an onion, 4 cloves of garlic and 1 tsp. each of extra virgin olive oil and coconut oil and I ate 1/3 of it and DH ate 2/3 of it (he also had a a POUND of fried potatoes, 1 cup of corn, 1/2 cup of green salsa and now is eating 1/2 a pint of Purely Decadent Swingin' Anna Banana soy ice cream. *sigh* That man can EAT!!! :dizzy: ).

I think I will have a big salad later with mixed baby greens, spinach, English cucumber, homemade dressing (herbs, spices, garlic, oil, lemon juice, umeboshi vinegar) and miso soup with green onions and tofu.

For a snack, I'll make a shake later with coconut milk, coconut flour, unsweetened almond milk, a few blueberries and strawberries and hemp protein powder. Oh, and raw cacao flour too. :carrot:

That should put me where I need to be with fiber, protein, carbs and fats!

did much better with my intake this day just edited my earlier post. 1402 cal and 102 protien whoo hoo and did great with the water. hit that with about 1 gal or close to it.

hopefully the woosh fairy will come to visit you now.

whoosy fairy did a dump on me. I was down another lb (don't like to record unless I see it twice) to 223 I am up 3 today 226. All water weight. ugh even my eyes are a bit puffy. I guess I over loaded the water yesterday and was not used to that much. the salad dressing tasted salty too. I guess hidden valley was too salty I will have to fine one that I like. and maybe the bread I know carbs will cause fluid retention. so maybe I tried that a bit too early in the game. Or just have to know that it will do that I am not sure what caused the fluid a bit of all i guess. but i wll need to be close to gas stations today, that may be hard I am glad Ihave napkins in the car! :rofl:

Where are all the daily food posters?

B: Choc protein shake (1.5 cups choc carb countdown milk, 1/4 cup choc whey protein powder, 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa, 1/4 tsp peppermint extract), sugar free latte with Carb countdown milk
L: BBQ wings, sauteed cabbage (left overs)
D: prime rib with horseradish sourcream sauce and capriese salad (tomatoes and mozzarella).

L - 1 Grilled chicken breast over garden salad (iceburg) w/2 tsp blue cheese

D - Zero Carb Whey Protein shake

Exercise: 30 min, level 4 eliptical (sweat like a pig...and it was just what the doctor ordered!...love it) I felt real strong today.

I also drink about 1/2 gal of water and about a quart of "Yerba Mate" tea (I'll tell ya about it on the weekly chat section...ooooh...it's great!)

BTW, thanks Nasus for the pill reminder! When I sat down to post my gosh aweful daily menu today...I read your post about "pill popping" and ran to get my eve pills (I take fish oils, b6/kelp/lecithin/vinegar, and fiber pills). Sorry no macros...haven't put it into thedailyplate yet...I'll edit later.

Today:

1 oz. pecans

2 servings whole soy protein powder in coconut chai black tea (this was GOOD!!!)

1 MSM Emergen-C

6 cups chopped salad (eaten on 2 occasions) with romaine, spinach, arugula, celery, tomato, green onions, slivered almonds, cabbage, soy cheese, soy "slices", soy chicken and a lemon olive oil dressing

2 cups steamed broccoli

1 oz. sunflower seeds

1 1/2 oz. 88% dark chocolate :o

2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk

1 oz. flax and soy tortilla chips (these have 9 grams of carbs per serving, too many really for my liking, for the volume and nutrition, but I gave in to a craving/stress eating)

1/2 cup pickled spicy carrots

10 cups of water

I don't have time for the breakdown, but I met all my minimums today, even though it wasn't a typical day and I was stressed out!!!

SB I do like your choices. even those chips they sound actually good.

Man did I have a carby breakfast again. Greek yogurt with berries and nuts. Hard to feel guilty about that. We'll see how the rest of the day turns out.

Thanks, Nasus! I feel good this morning too, and that's a good measure of if my prior days plan was good for me or not. ;) I enjoyed the chips (one serving) and it didn't cause me to spiral of control, so that's GOOD!!!

Petra that breakfast sounds great.

Here's the NSV Scale-free challenge I started, for those who are interested in celebrating all the changes we are making that aren't related to numbers on a scale! There's no reason we can't participate in many types of challenges, and so many people expressed they wanted a way to not focus just on the numbers on a scale as a measure of worth and progress.

http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/show...21#post2127321

Okay...here's my stats for today so far:

B - 1/2 cup cottage cheese (4%milkfat)
S - nothing
L - 2 cups brocolli and 3/4 piece of grilled chicken breast
S - protein (zero carb whey)
4 strawberries (fresh)
1/4 cup blueberries (fresh)
1/4 cup cashews (salted)
D - 1 cup Lentils w/smoked pork neckbones
S - 1 Sugar Free Peppermint Patty...yum!

Okay...that's it...this thread is great! Didn't enter my foods into dailyplate yet, but at least it's here so I can go back and input it! Yeah! Don't think I did too bad, but always room for improvement!

Exercise: 30 min cardio (elipticle) burned 345 calories!

SIC - I wonder how your famous "cheesecake pudding" would taste with some whey protein powder (maybe Vanilla flavor). Can you post the recipe? You've talked about it sooo much and DH and DD loves it sooo...I wan't some too! I will try to make it with maybe a scoop or two of Isopure Vanilla...and see how it comes out...that would definately be a nice change (and protein addition). Thanks.
