Calorie countdown - what did you eat today? (Wednesday)

I haven't finish my eating for the day - I didn't start until about 2 and I need to come up with at least 20g more protein but I thought I'd post this for anyone who already knows what they had for dinner. 

Breakfast = almost 2 egg whites  lunch= 2 oz ham and 2 cheese cubes  snack= asiago Cheese crakers 1 serving Dinner= 1 cup broccoli slaw salad   ( 1 cup broccoli slaw 1 tbls mayo bacon bits 1 tbls shredded cheese 2 slices canned beets)   sounds weird i know but i love it  I need more protein I know I do, I think the best time to get it owuld be between breakfast and lunch so i'm gonna try that tomorrow!  I like this idea Jen! I think it will help me I hope we keep doing it!  Thanks  Estelle

I like this idea too - I was posting on other "rooms" but I'm most interesting in what the people most like me eat each day.  As for getting enough protein - I have a hard time some days too.  Today I didn't get there.  I'd say I come in under 60g about once a week now, and I rarely get over 70.  Its hard sometimes when you try to get it all from food instead of using supplements.  I should use supplements still probably but they aren't very palatable except some of the bars.  I do agree with you though, its easier to get protein in @ breakfast and lunch, then you don't have to force it as much at dinner.

Meal 1 - 1/2 whole wheat pita, 1/2 grilled chicken skewer (I'd say around 2 oz chicken), 2 oz hummus and 1oz tzatziki I felt bad after meal 1 - I think I ate the first couple of bites too fast, old habits die hard but also I am now having a lot of gas so it may have been gas pains... the other day I almost went to the ER thinking it was another bowel blockage, and it turned out to be gas. Meal 2 - the other half of the chicken skewer and 8oz high protein lactose free skim milk Snack - real fruit strawberry bar Meal 3 - cup of beef broth and a vegetable egg roll Snack - no sugar added cozy shack tapioca Calories 945 Fat 43g Carbs 92g Fiber 11g Protein 45g Exercise - 3 games bowling, I'd estimate maybe 200 calories ***Edit - I had a piece of whole wheat toast with muenster melted on it to increase my fiber and protein for the day - not the best choice but pretty much all we had that I could eat (then we went grocery shopping and I got some better options) Added 10g protein, 200 calories, and 3g fiber.

Dunny, hie thee to GNC and pick up a bottle of Papaya Complete tablets.  I chew two of them whenever I feel like I've eaten too much or if the gas pains are killing me.  Works every time! Kix

Breakfast before exercise: 1 EAS protein drink @ 110 cal/17 g protein                                                  1 cup decaf coffee w/SF gingerbread syrup & 2oz Hood milk @ 20 cal Killer treadmill @ 30 minutes = 260 calories expended Breakfast after exercise:   1 EAS protein drink @ 110 cal/17g protein                                                1 Atkins protein bar @ 150 cal/11g protein Lunch: 1 EAS protein drink @ 110 cal/17g protein               1 Instone chocolate pudding (with acidophilus supplement added in) @ 100 cal/20g protein Late afternoon treat: 1 cup decaf coffee w/SF gingerbread syrup & 2 oz Hood milk @ 20 cals 2g Dinner:  1 rotisserie chicken thigh @ 210 cal/20g protein Snack: 1 Atkins protein bar @ 150 cal/11g protein Before bed snack:  lots of Fiber Choice wafers! Total: 960 calories - 260 expended = 700 (I don't like being that low, need to up it a bit)            117g protein The chicken thigh filled me up almost too much.  I almost like the lighter feeling of the protein drinks better than the dense protein feeling.   Kix

Despite my complete meltdown I still wrote down everything I ate. It looks better on paper than it felt, although not great. Ironically I stepped on the scale and lost 1/2 a pound - go figure. pre-workout snack: Peanut Butter pudding Post workout snack: fat free yogurt Snack at work: cup of hot chocolate lunch: WW chicken and squash in garlic sauce, 2 bags of granola bites (The beginning of the meltdown is here - over the course of 4 hours) 7 chocolate kisses 1 caramel 1 grape blow pop a block of very dark chocolate (ugh, gross - so bitter) 2 cups of hot chocolate 5 donut holes 2 atkins protein bars Dinner: meatloaf, green beans, chocolate chip cookie snack: apple and peanut butter calories: 3060 fat: 152 carbs: 352 protein: 118 fiber: 41 water: about 110 ounces Thank god yesterday is done - I need to pick myself up and start off fresh today.

PJ, not that I'm making fun of you or anything, but when I read your list of "meltdown" snacks, all I could think of was, "And a partridge in a pear tree." I know, I need help.  Kix

Now that's funny! I can always appreciate a sense of humor, even when I'm the weepy eyed girl
