Typical day for me during dieting
Way to go Jeff,
Sounds like your eating right since you've already passed your goal. Congratulations! I haven't been counting calories, carbs and such. I've been watching my portions and staying away from fast foods like burgers and fries. Been hitting the stairmaster and walking about ten hours a week and have lost 55lbs so far. Take care and congrats again, Paul 300/245/175 "JR" wrote in message news Food Breakfast - Coffee - 0 cal 1 tsp sugar - 16 cal 2 Egg Beater (Southwestern) omelet - 60 cal 1/8 cup Seargento Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese - 40 cal 1/2 cup peaches - 50 cal 1 multivitamin Morning Snack 1 serving almonds (22 almonds) - 172 cal Lunch Whole Wheat Roll - 122 cal Entire Can of Tuna Fish - 194 cal 1 Tbs Just 2 Good Mayo - 25 cal 1 slice Smart Beat Cheddar Cheese - 25 cal Afternoon Snack Large Orange - 86 cal Dinner 1 Serving Whole Wheat Penne Regati - 180 cal 2 servings Hunts Diced Tomatoes (Italian Style) - 60 cal 6 Trader Joe's Meatless Meatballs - 140 cal 1 cup steamed green beans - 38 cal After Dinner Snack (NOT IN FRONT OF THE TV) 10 Pretzel logs (3" long x 1/2 " dia) - 191 cal Mustard for dipping - 0 cal Total - 1399 calories.

But, like I've said in other posts, I think NOW is the hard part. Increasing my caloric intake and maintaining the weight. Been hitting the stairmaster and walking about ten hours a week and have lost 55lbs so far. Cool! Keep it up! Fitday has REALLY helped with counting calories. It's nothing that you can't do yourself, it just makes it a whole lot easier. |

I am having a hard time adding calories without them being bad calories. I'm getting there though. -- jmk in NC |

I will say even though it's hard, it's an interesting experience to see how I'm reacting either physically or mentally to certain foods. I've been using some of the ADA exchange information to get ideas on how to balance my diet. It's all a learning process. Jenn |

JR,
Very good job. Beer, tho, isn't a "useless snack." A dark beer like Guinness is full of antioxidants. My dinner tonite: 2 fiber rye crispbreads + 2 tbs peanut butter + (eating out) 1 pint Guinness. Moderate drinking is healthy: preventing both heart disease and diabetes. Now "pretzel logs" - that's truly a useless snack. You like berries, I eat 1 pound of blueberries daily - good stuff. Also good (and cheap) oatmeal. I'd advise increasing your calories; also at your height 170 lbs is fine. "JR" wrote in message ...

"Brad Sheppard" wrote in message om... JR, Very good job. Beer, tho, isn't a "useless snack." A dark beer like Guinness is full of antioxidants. I can get my antioxidants from supplements. If I drink one beer, I'll drink another. Moderate drinking is healthy: preventing both heart disease and diabetes. Well, the media certainly has jumped on the bandwagon regarding drinking, but if you don't drink, it's no reason to start. Now "pretzel logs" - that's truly a useless snack. Perhaps, but there's no fat or cholesterol. They're (at least the one I eat) are made from whole wheat, so there's some fiber in them. You like berries, I eat 1 pound of blueberries daily - good stuff. How can you AFFORD that? I still have some leftover frozen ones from one day in July picking, but they won't last too much longer. Also good (and cheap) oatmeal. I buy (at Trader Joe's) Country Choice Organic Multi-Grain Hot Cereal, which is oats, wheat, rye, etc....Not too bad, especially when I put berries in it, and it's only $2.00 a cardboard "can". Regular old oatmeal is too mushy for me. I'd advise increasing your calories; also at your height 170 lbs is fine. But I don't WANT to be 170 pounds. If I am eating enough calories to sustain my weight, what's the difference how much I weigh? |
