I thought you might be interested in how my yesterday's food plan came out. I did eat everything I listed, but came out short on calories. Soooo I added more protein drink (1/2 serving) and 16 Ghirardelli 60% cocoa chocolate chips. I also had two cups of tea with Coffee Mate Lite in the afternoon. Total cals 1,253.
BREAKFAST:
Coffee w/Coffee Mate Lite
2 eggs and 1 oz. full-fat cheddar cheese
SNACK:
1 oz tuna, water packed
3 Triscuits
LUNCH:
Lean Cuisine Alfredo pasta w/chicken & broccoli
I didn't have one the last time they brought them in
And yesterday I wanted some from the vending machine but I didn't want to give in just because I had the IWANTSOMERIGHTNOW cravings.
But I didn't feel right about having one until today. I've had virtually no junk food in the last couple of weeks, so it felt like it was time. I really wanted it, but I could take it or leave it.
Hey wings! Glad to see you. Sorry it was a sucky day. I wish I could eat 1800 cals! But I'm too short and too old.
rubberlegs, yeah, there are days like that--when it seems like it would be OK. I've done things like that--but I try to plan ahead. Or do some "damage control" the rest of the day if I need to.
Well I have been eating 1500 cals, but while that originally had me losing a few lbs near the beginning of this week, now I'm suddenly gaining the weight back (I know I know, slave to the scale, but I haven't been doing anything differently) and I AM burning 700-900 cals a day exercising so I decided my body must be going into that "starvation mode" they speak of... so I'm gonna try 1800 cals for a few days and see what the scale says...
Wings--you're not going into starvation mode. It's more likely that your tracking of foods and/or exercise is off a bit. If it were me, I'd stay at 1500--but up to U!
LookingForHope! Cool about the bathing suit!

1 Lg Shredded wheat
