What did you eat today?

[Catrin]

Susan, I am impressed - there is no way that I could do an hour spinning class with just an apple for breakfast.

Today:

B: steel cut oats (with dried cranberries and blueberries), 1 whole egg & 1 egg white, skim milk, coffee
S: almonds and raisins
L: fruited wild rice salad with a roasted skinless chicken breast
S (pre-workout): Powerbar

1 hour spinning (darn rain), 20 minutes weights (probably shouldn't have, but I feel my upper body has been a bit neglected this week). I didn't want to over-do it after last night - and class again tomorrow night, so I just did 3 sets each of three upper-body exercises.

D: brown rice, spinach, roasted skinless chicken breast. 2 squares dark chocolate with a touch of PB for dessert.

I seem to be really resistant to hitting the number of calories they want me to - but I am doing much better then I was. If I could just eat more for lunch I think that would do it... If I find my body fat percentage has decreased on Friday when I do the Bod Pod, then I will work harder to increase the calories to the suggested level. If it hasn't...then I will probably stay at the calorie targets I've been hitting and decrease carbs. I DO feel better in my workouts than I did with the lower caloric intake.
