What did you eat today?

Perhaps my reasoning is off, but considering how many eggs and how much dairy I consume, I am afraid that I will get too much fat. My sports nutritionist said that I should keep fat in my diet at 30% or less, and I am consistently right at or just over 30%. I have added nuts and am doing more cooking with olive oil.

I am considering going moving from non-fat Greek yogurt to a higher fat percentage version to help. Am I being overly concerned about the fat content in the eggs and dairy?

About dairy? I'd suggest not. Just stick to non- or low fat. The eggs, IMO, yes. You are losing out on a nutritient dense food by cutting out the yolks. They will not increase you cholesterol.

Thanks, this is what I was wondering. I hadn't seen your message, but I had 2 fresh whole eggs for breakfast. Outside of winter my eggs come from a friends back yard that roam around her yard and garden eating all kinds of good things. They are well cared for and she keeps a close eye on them. The eggs range in size from tiny to huge, and because they are grass-fed, are every color under the sun...but not white. Yummy as well! I just picked up a couple dozen from her yesterday Fresh eggs 2 days old can't be beat! (and no, I've never used THOSE for egg whites - that would be a waste!)

My friends treated me to a special weekend downtown Chicago. It was a 10-year belated bachelorette/bridal shower party. Although, toned down quite a bit from what I imagine it would have been

Here's a sampling of what we ate . . . (I like modeling food) (And I'm not looking foward to weigh-in on Friday)

The food looks awesome, but not as good as YOU look! Nothing wrong with the occasional indulgence

That looks like an awesome feast!

I ran out of energy gels and no bike shop was open before work this morning so I picked up some Welch's fruit snacks for energy on my rides that are increasing both in number/duration. Others have used them for centuries or marathons so they might be a cost-effective choice for this summer. Along with raisins!

I saw this today and it made me chuckle. We spend so much time thinking about what we *should* or *shouldn't* be eating, (or maybe it's just me and I need to replace those "we" words with "I"...) and sometimes I think it's really just as simple as this:

Today:
5:00 banana
5:30 2600 meter swim
6:45 Gu Roctane gel
7:00 40 minute run
8:30 two eggs scrambled with mushrooms, peppers, scallions, kale and 1/2 of chicken sausage. Topped with a sprinkling of crumbled gorgonzola. Mmmmm.
Also, a banana with one Tablespoon of the most frickin' awesome almond butter ever: http://shop.wildsquirrelnutbutter.co...ts/joyful-java Big breakfast, but I was hungry!

Lunch will be my usual spinach salad with various veggies. Topped with 4oz turkey and 1/3 of an avocado. Will also have some carrot/cabbage salad from yesterday.

Dinner: I have chicken breasts in the fridge, so I'm thinking I'll simmer them with onions, tomatoes, garlic, some broth and maybe a little white wine. Side o' broccoli. If I get home early enough, I'll roast up some brussels and sweet potatoes too! Roasted sweet potatoes are like candy. Who needs dessert when you can have sweet potatoes??
