Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Monday

1:  veggie burger patty, 1 wedge LC RF cheese, two egg whites fried in scant cooking spray

2:  two Sargento RF cheese sticks

3:  Unjury Chocolate Splendor protein powder with 1 c unsweetened almond milk and 1 Tbsp PB2, shaken and frozen as per a suggestion I saw recently on OH (about to try this for the first time)

4:  3 oz canned chicken, 1 wedge LC RF cheese, 1/4 c green beans

vitamins:  on track

fluids:  on track

exercise:  recumbent bike (really not feeling well today, hopefully not getting sick)

Keith--does you 100 oz of water a day mean water only or does that include other fluids?

 

Br:  Ham, greek yogurt, a few pistachios (which I made my husband remove from the house when he left for work)

L:  Chicken scallopini from Whole Foods, 2 oz (this is a very lightly breaded baked chicken, not pasta)

Sn: greek yogurt

D: Grilled salmon, veggie salad

Sn: not sure yet

Other fluids too, but lean more toward the plain water. Plain water flushes. Other liquids can leave residuals such as artificial sweeteners/colors/sugar that your liver will be left to deal with. So if you are talking about unsweetened tea you are probably good. If you are talking about orange juice (bad) or artificially sweetened drinks (not as bad) you will not see the whole benefit of it as if it were jus****er. I try to have no more than one drink a day that is not plain water.

I drink coffee in the morning--how much varies, but never more than three cups and it's not strong. Usually water the rest of the day.  I avoid artificial sweeteners like the plague and even with the caloric/sugar thing would rather have an orange than a diet drink. I don't do either, though.

I have heard that you should not count caffeinated liquids as part of your water goal. I suppose it is up to you but test it out. See what happens when you don't count the coffee but get your water up high, does it reflect on the scale.

Personally I don't count coffee or protein drinks as part of my liquid intake. I do count iced tea and flavored waters though but I keep both of them to a minimum.

 

I don't usually do this but here goes.

B: Dunkin Donuts sausage egg wrap & med coffee w/ cream & sugar

L: Chobani greek yogert - blueberry

s: zone bar - almond & raisin

not sure about dinner but probably morningstar protein something. . .

18oz water so far

This is pretty much what I eat every day.

Also vitamins just after waking.

Day Off and at the Gym are 2 GREAT reasons to miss.

Look at the killer day you are having. You are going to be shredded before you know it.
