B: 1 piece WG toast with cherry jam, coffee
L: small helping of leftover homemade mac and cheese
Snack, handful of blackberries
D: beef enchiladas, brown rice, whole pinto beans, 1 margarita (all homemade) I did this the easy way, made some soup today with rice, so just made some extra brown rice when I made the soup, used up some taco meat that I had in the freezer for the enchiladas, and some frozen pintos that I had in the freezer too.

I feel like I am eating way more than everyone else . . . oh well! I'm starting to drop some weight and getting closer to my happy-race weight.

B: Eggs and Ezekiel toast, bit of orange juice
S: Oats with raisins and cinnamon
L: UM Shake and salad
S: Ezekiel Toast w/ Sunflower Seed Butter and cup of veggie soup
D: Spicy black beans, fajita veggies and salsa atop a bed of greens
S: Green Smooooooooooothie

And I'll probably eat some other stuff too.

You may eat more often than most, but that doesn't seem like too much to me! Sounds delicious!

I think your calories are just spread out more than most. You seem to eat more small meals; also, if you are training to race, then you should be eating more than I am right now. I play tennis a lot, but it in no way burns as many calories as training to race.

B: 2 dried apricots and a handful of walnuts before strength and core class, broiled red pepper with tuna stuffed inside, with melted low fat Havarti on top, small amount of whole wheat flakes, 1% milk, blueberries
L: turkey breast and cole slaw wrapped in romaine leaves (4), cup of tomato soup
D: one pan seared boneless chicken breast, on top of whole wheat fettucini, with pesto, stir fired baby bok choy and mushrooms, 1 piece of dark chocolate

DH came home from his company's annual meeting with several gifts, including dark chocolate from Israel and France, truffles, and 2 bottles of champagne .

While I consider myself "in training", I am working with my personal trainer/coach to drop 15 lbs before summer time. Racing is incidental and is not what I'm really training for. I'm training to ride across the country. All
of my rides in the last two months have low intensity. I've also been weight training so I've been gaining serious muscle mass and losing fat. Clearly something is going right. Once I am closer to my weight goal and amp up miles and aerobic levels, naturally I will eat a commensurate amount of calories.

Today: Breakfast sandwich w/ 2 eggs, ham + swiss
Lunch: Tuna wrap and spinach salad
AS: greek yogurt
D: Shrimp curry!
