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.

I scan this thread often, and I always feel like I eat *a lot* compared to some of you. Here's yesterday:

6:00 am: banana
6:30 am: 2700 yard swim
8:00 am: Gu Roctane gel
8:15 am: 40 minute run
9:30 am: (breakfast, finally!) 2 eggs, 1 chicken sausage, 2 small slices homemade wholegrain bread with homemade strawberry fig jam
11:00am: apple
1:00 pm: (lunch) salad (spinach, mushrooms, carrots, sweet peppers) with balsamic vinegar and topped with 1/2 can of salmon (about 2 oz.), 1/2 medium sweet potato, 1 cup steamed broccoli
4:00 pm 1 cup nonfat greek yogurt
6:30 pm (dinner) 1/4 of a medium roasted butternut squash with a dash of maple syrup and a sprinkling of unsweetened shaved coconut, kale water-sauteed with mushrooms and garlic, steamed broccoli.

Huh. I ate 7 times yesterday! I guess that's typical for me though, when I have a double workout, like yesterday. If I have just one workout, I eat 6 times.

On the bright side, this WAS within my calorie budget for the day!
