eat more chicken, turkey etc..and i know protein bars and shakes but i am not a huge advocate of those!!

I love to talk about protein! Tuna, no fat cottage cheese, egg whites, lean chicken, fish, protein powder ....

I like AI too. I didn't know that it started tonight!

Leigh, burning buns are good!

Jilly, just think ... even if you ate the chocolates today, we can do this again tomorrow and you can be even perfecter!

I did my legs with weights stuff for 45 minutes. So far my food is 447 calories. 42% protein/40% carbs/18% fats.

My next snack will be tuna with onion and ultra low fat Miracle Whip and probably more vegetables.

haha, yes, I will strive to be even perfecter :D

I already set my DVR to record AI tonight just in case I am busy or fall asleep or whatever--can't miss the horrible auditions episodes!!

cottage cheese, protein powder sprinkled on almost anything...lean meats...the ladies who lift forum has some good recipes..adkins or zone forums might as well - but you have to watch caloie counts on adkins recipes.

I love the perfect day phenomenon...MUCH better than the crappy day that turns into one after another. Yesterday I had the day off for MLK Day and did so good with eating every 3 hours and got a balance of 56% carbs, 22% protein and 21% fat, which was pretty good. So far today I have been doing well--ate 2 cups of homemade turkey soup for lunch to finish off the pot so I am too full for the protein pudding I was "supposed" to have. Oh well so far today I am at 711 cals and 56% carbs, 23% protein and 21% fat and holding steady.

Good luck on YOUR perfect day!

Ok ladies ty for the info!!!!! I will be adding this to my diet...Whats a good % to have a day? I dont mean to be a pest....lol

15-20% i believe...heck i just typed it somewhere else and now i cant remember...

I just went and looked 15% to 34% in the last few day. I will be keeping a eye on that from now on.....See a old dog can learn a new trick....lol

yeah. i learned it too! forever i thought my protein should be more than my carbs..but even without knowing all this right stuff, i somehow managed to get it all right for over a week now!

Oh my goodness, my power went out. I was lost! So much for my perfect day! But I'm still good. I had my tuna snack and am at 650 cals. 47% protein, 37% carb, 16% fats.

Gotta go watch my chicken.

This is fun isn't it?

So I cooked my boneless skinless chicken breasts in the wood stove! Little crispy around the edges :)
I'm at 912 cals 48% 35% 17% ... I had planned two little snacks but we'll see.

Well, I got only 1230 calories today, but as I looked over my food intake, I am ashamed to say not a single fruit or veggie. All is not lost, however, I still have 100 or so calories left before bed.
Can't complain though, as I had fast food the last 2 days in a row.

My almost perfect day would consist of just getting back on the horse! I had a bad last few days food-wise and am having a hard time getting back on plan. The first day is always the hardest, innit?! So, if I can just get back OP today, I will feel like I've really accomplished something!

Wish me luck!

Ann :)

:wave: Yesterday was "almost" perfect (for reasons stated earlier!) I didn't manage to do quite as much kickboxing as I'd hoped since I was teaching rather than doing the class. I got home and practised on DF! :lol:

Today should be a "perfect" day with TONS of protein, but I need to squeeze in some veggies and I'll probably be munching on some apples. I just have to get myself out for a run and stay awake long enough to do weights and ironing!

We can do this ladies, one day at a time, one meal at a time, we will get there!
