Wednesday was day two of the 5 day pouch test. It was definitely harder than the day before, but I survived. Here's what I had in no particular order. I actually feel bad about the banana, but I atleast I ate it with a protein.
3 EAS Carbvantage Protein Shakes
2 cups of coffee with SF vanilla creamer
1 SF pudding with whole scoop of Unjury
2 low sugar yogurts
SF jello (no protein)
1 banana
2 mozzie sticks
calories around 985- protein 104 grams - carbs around 66ish
I really ought to know by now that I need to go straight to bed when I take one of those. I decided to stay up until I felt drowsy and paid the price.
B: greens, chicken and beans soup (135 cal)
S: honey almond flax protein bar (140 cal)
L: shrimp, beans and greens soup (135 cal)
S: glucerna mini snack bar (80 cal)
D: turkey chili (180 cal)
S: 2 cups popcorn popped in 1 tbsp. EVOO (50 cal)
Here's where it gets interesting:
S: Kashi cinnamon coffee cake protein/fiber bar (150 cal)
S: honey almond flax bar (140 cal)
S: nsa fudgesicle (40 cal)
I don't remember any of them--but I ate them!
Calories: 1050, Protein: 89, Carbs: 129
Calories and protein were fine, but I try to keep my carbs under 100. Plus it was late evening eating, ugh.
The moral of the story is that I should have gone to bed. Live and learn I suppose.
