Ditto! I only play tennis - it doesn't burn half as many calories as cycling for hours did. I probably eat the most calories of all the folks that post here a lot. But, I do watch now since I don't exercise as much:DQuote:

[QUOTE=Susan Otcenas;629695]I scan this thread often, and I always feel like I eat *a lot* compared to some of you. Here's yesterday:QUOTE]
That is why I don't post here...I eat more, eat out more and I drink more! No wonder I am stuck at this weight!

Hey, I eat out a lot and don't lie about my red wine obsession!
5 almonds before run-walk (30 minutes)
B: egg white omelette with turkey breast, avocado, goat cheese, an orange, coffee
L: half a low salt ham sandwich, with mustard, cole slaw
S: small skim milk iced mocha latte
D:glass of red wine, piece of cheese, 2 thin pork chops with a spicy chili-hoisin-soy sauce and mushrooms, home made cabbage slaw with ginger sesame dressing
2 squares chocolate
Me too. I never post in this thread because I eat about three times more than the people who post here.Quote:

Lose It! is a fine phone application, the phone application keeps track of my nutritional proportions along with caloric intake and allows custom foods/recipes. The associated website provides me with reports of different kinds and even shows me what my favorite foods are - in case there was any doubt. I've used this since I started all of this 2.5 years ago and it is very helpful.
Yesterday:
Heavy weights workout yesterday with a caloric goal of 2,000 calories (real, not net). Didn't quite make it but I got closer than I have since I started working to increase my intake while working with the tweaked nutritional splits the nutritionist advised:
B: 2 egg whites, 1 cup steel cut oats with fresh blueberries + a bit of PB, skim milk and coffee
S: PowerPro bar
120 minute weights workout (this includes warming up and extensive stretching afterwards so the actual workout was closer to 90 minutes
L: Luna Chocolate protein bar (had to run errands and no chance for a real lunch)
S: ANOTHER Luna bar regular, not protien (still on errands and got HUNGRY)
D: Fresh seared Tuna steak, Bok Choy, 1/2 cup brown rice, homemade veggie soup, small lettuce salad with a bit of raspberry vinaigrette dressing. Skim milk.
S: friend came over and brought a lovely largish homemade chocolate chip/coconut cookie. I actually wanted a beer but didn't want both. It was worth it, delicious!
Goal of 2,000 calories for a workout day, actually consumed 1800, I am getting there. My weight this morning is back down to what it was before I started tweaking my diet. I think I would have made my goal if I had eaten real food for lunch. Perhaps...my normal lunch has the same calories as that Luna protein bar.

By the same token, I tend not to post here when I'm not trying to accomplish something in training or with fat loss. It just helps to write this stuff down somewhere for me.Quote:

I guess I just wasn't that hungry. Today my brother and sister and their SOs are coming down to my mom's for dinner so I am putting on my chef hat.
I'm making pork butt braised with apples and herbs (optional bbq sauce and rolls), warm german potato salad, carrot and purple cabbage slaw, deviled eggs for starters (mmm).
I'm trying to find a sexy new deviled egg recipe. Maybe something with craime fraiche and herbs? If anyone has any ideas I am all ears!
I made an interesting variation a couple of years back that used canned crab, it was pretty good! The problem, however, is if someone bites into it expecting more traditional stuffed eggs they get quite the surprise! Your idea sounds good and probably safer :)Quote:

the equivalent of 2.5 glasses of wine, small amounts of salad, jambalaya, California roll, vegetarian paella (good, actually, but I think it needed that flavor from that comes from browned meat bits), chocolate truffles and peanut brittle. Yes, I was a little tipsy by the end.
12 oz frozen yogurt (non-fat strawberry/low-fat cheesecake swirl, with strawberries on top, then a layer of low-fat coconut with shredded coconut on top. I have a coconut problem.)
Today:
Big bowl of cereal with 1%
Tea (with 1% milk and sugar), 2 chocolate cookies.
Chickpea and cauliflower "curry" (really, they're just in a spicy tomato sauce...), brown rice, salad (1/2 arugula, 1/2 spring mix, with sliced radishes and Caesar dressing--it was what I had in the fridge.)
Rest day today, so a target of 1600-1800 calories. I made it, barely, but I did make it :)
B: 1 egg white + 1 whole egg, 1 cup steel cut oats with fresh blueberries + 6 almonds, skim milk and coffee. 1 small chunk of low-fat Celtic white cheddar
S: small banana with 1 tsp PB
L: Leftover seared tuna steak sandwich with sprouted wheat bread, a little more white cheddar, steamed bok choy
S: 8 almonds + a few raisins
D: roasted skinless chicken breast, brown rice, steamed/sauteed kale, bok choy, and onion. 1 Bad Elmer's Porter
S: small apple with 1 tsp PB
