I'm committing to a whole week of clean eating.

It can be done - It's easy.

Oh Jen! A whole week??? OK, I'll try. One day at a time right?
How clean do you mean? Can it be 'in the eye of the beholder'?
I'd like to keep my percentages >30 protein, >30 carbs and <30 fats.

Oi! For a whole week? What am I saying?

I'll try this... 30/30/30 is good Susan... I've got to keep it at 1400 too...
Report back tomorrow girls...

I'm doing all right so far. We had a "birthday buffet" at work today but I only ate vegetables and fruit ... the trick was the dip! So I have to correct a fat imbalance with my evening snack

I've done good today too

Clean in the eye of the beholder

Yesterday I was off work poorly sick. So I ate cleaner than I would've done on a usual sick day! I had cottage cheese pancakes and quorn sausages, whereas usually I pig out on biscuits and ice cream. I had ice cream and fish and chips for dinner, since DF was hungry and I wasn't cooking, so we went out for dinner ... What am I saying? Yesterday was a bust! But I was sick, so I'm starting today.

Done good so far today, whole-grain cereal with soya milk and a scoop of protein powder. I've got cc pancakes, protein shake and jacket potato with cottage cheese for work-food. Unfortunately it's visitor's day, which means buffet. Oooops. I think I'm going to play my "sick" card and say it stole my appetite. Any decent excuse. Tonight I'm going to do a chicken veggie stir-fry with brown and wild rice. Not got any exercise planned for today, I'm recouperating

I avoided the buffet at work! I had a protein shake at my desk and chewed gum while I was schmoosing with the peeps Not a sandwich nor a pork pie has passed my lips

I still feel sick though

As for %s when I'm cardio-ing (most days) I try to keep at 50% carbs, 25% pro and 25% fat, days when I'm not cardio-ing, just as much protein as I can get in and I try not to worry too much about the rest. However today is looking a little low on fat (12%) so I might have to have some nut-butter or something... We'll see what happens, at this rate I won't be hungry for my afternoon meal
Oh and calories, about 1600-1800

Tuesday's assessment .... I had 1821 calories .... 21% protein, 44% carbs and 26% fat and 9% Coors lite.
Not too bad. I really need to get my finances in order and get back to my protein powder! Whew!

Wednesday is good...

1440 cals
28% fat
29% carbs
33% protein
11% wine

Wed was good, C 51%, Pro 34% Fat 15% with 1734 calories

I did slip in a tiny ginger cookie, but I also now have a Dr Phil's "No Fail" kitchen. I threw out all of my creme eggs and some open packets of sweets that have been hanging around for years and I've never really eaten anyway.

Wednesday was OK but my proteins are low. 21/52/22

Today is better.

Today:

1483 cals
34% fat
33% carbs
30% protein

Not bad yesterday - quite low cals (for a Thursday) but I was so mad after KB that I didn't want to eat, then got up in the middle of the night and had a couple of oatcakes.

Cals 1616, F 28% C 51% P 21%, so a bit low protein and a bit high in fat, but ok.

Today looks ok, not sure about dinner but I'll find something healthy.

This may be UNunderstanding of me, but I could never figure out why or how anyone could get up in the middle of the night and ... ... Lock the friggen cabinets 2f and go to BED

It's wierd, but I can't sleep if I'm knaw-ingly hungry. I would try and chew my arm off in my sleep!

Some people have a wierd dissorder thing where they sleep-eat
