Accountability.. what did you eat Thrusday

yes it is... little low but if you are still not feeling the food I understand.  like I said to dana what really maters is the food selection in these cases.  you made great choices.  your numbers are great and thats what really counts.  good job Carla

Weird day for me...had no appetite...If I hadn't gone late grocery shopping I wouldn't have made 1000 calories...So I went all out on a sandwich and doubled myself over on a a little ricotta fluff stuff I made...I don't know why it didn't dawn on that that ricotta is milk and I am lactose intolerant and can only handle a spoonful of ricotta...NOW I REMEMBER!!!!  Holy cow!!!!!  I almost dumped first time in years!  I was ILL!!!!!! B: 1/2C Coffee, 1/2C Soymilk and 2 oz protein powder S: 3 sf lemon creme cookies L: 2 oz swiss cheese, 10 pimento olives, 5 water crackers and a plum S: "OH yeah Natural's" Peanut Protein bar  (YUCKY!!!!) Didn't like that at all. Ate it anyway for the protein 9 PM Dinner: Grilled panini Ruben ~2 1/2oz pastrami ~2 slices rye bread ~1T Thousand Island Dressing ~1 1/2 Slices LF swiss cheese ~2T Sauer Kraut LATE snack 1/4 C SF Banana Ricotta Fluff <---was so good til the lactose or fake whipped cream hit me...OUCH!!!! Fat: 66    Carbs: 107   Protein: 100.5   Fiber:7.5    Calories: 1397.5   Sugars: 21.5

I am glad you are feeling better now..   great numbers  on you good and protein.. not sure what happened to the fiber.. wow that is low..  Nice sailing day for you... keep those sails up and away from the dairy products. Carla

Here's my day: B  protein shake S  1 string cheese L  4 oz grilled amberjack     1/2 c steamed broccoli   1/2 c salad with 1/2 tbs ranch S mini bag popcorn (lite) D  grilled pork chop     small baked sweet potato S  1 cookie (homemade reduced sugar)      1 reeses peanut butter egg from my daughter's Easter Basket (it called my name and I answered) I hate PMS.  LOL. Melissa

Well Melissa I think you did good with your choices and got some good protein in.  thats a good thing.  do you track using fitday or sparkpeople.  It really helps keep you on track.. I would go crazy if I didnt have do it everyday.   Are you maintaining or trying to loose.. you look great in your avatar. Let us know so we can support you in the direction you're going.. See you later. Carla

I keep a food journal on paper.  I have books I use for my figures on calories and protein.  I have a book at home and a pocket size that fits in my purse.   That way I can keep up with my stuff anywhere I am.  If it is not in my book then I will look it up on spark people or fitday.  I am not trying to lose weight.  I have been maintaining my loss for 3 years within a 5 to 7 pound range depending on the day and time of month.  I just decided to chime in on the post for a change as I was looking for new food ideas.  I used to like to read these to get ideas for foods to try.  Melissa

Well I use sparkpeople to do it for me.  I am not sure abut how may grams of protein are in the bar you ate.  I am assuming... that you ate about 70 to 80 grams of protein on the day.  Not enough in my estimation.  I would also think that you are not eating enough by the looks of your meals.  YOu may want to start tracking you food to give you a better Idea of what you are eating each day.  Are you still trying to loose or maintain.  That will help me know where you are in you journey. Hope to see you posting with us each day. Carla

There you go... congrats on that... All the work you are putting in is really paying off.. excellent numbers for you.  Keep it up girl you are going great. Carla

Gotta love it... taxes.. I did mine and instead of getting money they sent me a letter saying I have to prove I have four kids.. go figure... yikes.. I consider doing taxes an exercise in itself.. thats why you just couldnt eat.. Today is a new day. get that protein in girl... the numbers arent that bad.. just a low day for you.. Good luck with the tax guy Carla
