Food & Exercise -- 9/15/2004

Food (another day at class downtown -- brought all my food with me):

6:00 (driving to metro station): ready-to-drink chocolate protein
shake

8:00 (class): 2 hard-boiled eggs

9:30 (class): 1 cup maple/raisin hot cereal (comes in a cup to which
you add boiling water)

1:00 (class): 76g ham; 3 slices f/f cheese

4:30 (class): energy bar

8:00 (home): 1 turkey burger w/ 2 slices f/f cheese on 1 slice whole
grain bread; 3 mint meringue cookies

{I know -- no fruit or veggies. Sometimes my stomach doesn't feel
like it will handle them well.}

Exercise: None of significance -- it's a rest day. Some walking
to/from subway, and while shopping at lunch hour.

Pedometer reading: 8381

262/137/ (135-145)

Left out the totals:

1262 calories, 31g fat (22%), 134g carbs (42%), 110g protein (35%)

I know this is low for the day, but I'm not hungry for any more and am
about to go to bed. I do have good dinners out planned for Friday and
Saturday nights, though :-).

Have you considered switching to regular cheese vs. the fat free? I know
it'll up your fat somewhat, but it will also up your calorie level to
what you're aiming for without adding extra food for which you're not
hungry.

Just a thought...

That's a good thought, Amy. But I think maybe I eat too much of it
for that, given that dairy isn't really a healthy fat (and because I
also eat a lot of eggs -- also not a great fat source). I'd probably
rather spend the calories on something like nuts, which I love and
which are healthier. But I am more liberal with eating real cheese
when I go to the wine events and such.

My lifting coaches tell me I should try to add protein calories to my
diet in order to up the total calories, but many protein-rich foods
are particularly filling, so this isn't the easiest thing to do if I'm
not especially hungry.
