Ok, I am supposed to start adding around 400 calories on days I DON'T exercise I can do this...and I did promise to give this a 6-week trial.

S: Cliff bar
L: homemade black bean soup, a small roasted chicken breast and one slice Ezekial bread
S: small apple + 1 tbls peanut butter

D? I've no idea, headed to something at church where there will be a pitch-in following. Hopefully there will be some veggies as I've not had any of those yet today

Sunday is always strange if I go to church, which I did today

B: steel cut oats with 1 scrambled egg white + 1 whole egg; blueberries, a few almonds, skim milk and coffee

L: Powerbar Performance energy bar

90 minutes weights workout

Post-workout snack - Luna Protein bar
I was still starving, so grabbed a chicken+alfalfa sprout on whole grain bread from the cooler at the gym

D: Pretty much grazed as I traveled here and there. 1 cup salad with a bit of Catalina dressing, 1 tiny roasted skinless chicken breast, 7 roasted garlic asparagus spears, 1 teaspoon peanut butter with 3 small squares dark chocolate, a bit of skim milk. This was all over the course of about 3 hours and two different places.

Still below my calorie goal for today (by a fair amount) but a little better than yesterday

B#1, before planned breakfast ride: bowl of non fat Greek yogurt with whole wheat flakes and blueberries, one cup coffee
B#2, during ride: 1.5 short stack apple pancakes, piece of ham, half a cup of coffee. DH and I should have split our order, neither of us could finish.
S: packet of nuts and cranberries
D: at restaurant, again... it's restaurant week. glass of red wine, small empanada with veggies, grilled salmon, terrine of veggies, 3 slices of fried potatoes, slice of Machengo cheese with quince

[Catrin]

B: 2 scrambled egg whites, steel-cut oats with 5 almonds and blueberries, skim milk, coffee
S: apple, low-fat/skim cheese stick
L: garlic roasted asparagus, roasted skinless chicken breast, brown rice
S: banana, 1 tsp PB

D: Wonderful chicken souvlaka (spelling?) with tziki sauce/pita appetizer, Greek green beans and potatoes, a bit of rice, and half a baklava for dessert. It was a wonderful restaurant and while I hardly ever have an appetizer and never have a real dessert, it was a very nice meal.

I did finally made my new calorie target...and went over by roughly 100 calories...but I rarely go out so it was a nice change. Good food, good company

Interestingly enough, I finished the day with roughly the percentages of carbs/protien/fats that my nutritionist wants me to have. Of course you can only approximate what you can track from a restaurant meal, the unknown from dinner was the amount of olive oil...so I approximated when I logged it all.
