Food & Exercise -- 2/18/2007

A quiet Sunday -- just stayed home all day. I went for a run in the
morning, though it was quite cold. Ate fairly lightly, as I wasn't
too hungry after last night's big dinner.

22g reduced fat peanut butter mixed in
* 1:30: 4 oz. ground turkey breast burger on whole wheat hamburger bun
w/ 3 slices f/f cheese, dill pickle slices, & catsup
* 3:30: 1 orange
* 8:30: 2 poached eggs on 1 slice whole wheat toast w/ 3 slices melted
f/f cheese & 10g grated romano; 8 oz. wine

Totals: 1196 calories (151 from alcohol), 27g fat (20%), 107g
carbs (36%), 96g protein (32%)

Exercise:

* 10:30: 3 mile run

Interesting. I did oatmeal this morning(1 cup with 1 cup water) and it was a
thick gruel. Next time I'll use a bigger ratio of water/milk to oatmeal and
maybe add in honey.

BTW, those turkey burgers are pretty high in calories! I didn't know until I
checked the package.

Oh and I returned my Cuisnart grill, since I didn't want to hastle scraping
it off every time. What's the convenience?

I use an instant mix. I haven't made regular oatmeal for a while and
don't recall the ratios. But the instant instructions also specify a
range of water amounts that can be used, and I prefer the larger
amount. (I'm not eating as large a portion as you are, though.)

Well, I'm not using pre-made burgers, just plain ground turkey breast
that I form into patties. Turkey breast is very lean; 4 oz. has just
120 calories and 1g of fat. The pre-made burgers often contain other
parts of the turkey, and sometimes fillers that may add calories. I
have on occasion used pre-made burgers from Jennie-O. They aren't too
bad -- 160 calories -- but they're a fair bit smaller than my 4 oz. of
ground turkey breast. Some people don't like the ground turkey breast
because it can be dry, since it has so little fat. But I've come to
prefer it. However, when I make turkey meatloaf I use the 93% lean
mix, as otherwise the meatloaf comes out too dry.
