Calorie Countdown - Its Tuesday, do you know where your proteins are?

Hi again.

How goes it?

Here's my Tuesday plan:

B - Click espresso protein, 16oz mootopia

L - Chili Edit - I ended up buying some green chile burger patties at whole foods, and had half of one of those with some sharp cheddar for lunch, and a couple bites of a protein bar for my sweet tooth afterwards

S - Dessert banana protein, 16oz mootopia

D - rotisserie chicken thigh/leg, sliced tomatoes Edit - a small baked potato with some shaved turkey and sharp cheddar cheese inside it, sliced tomatoes

S - orange marmalade yogurt cake (made with splenda) Edit - maybe tomorrow, I found some fresh strawberries that smelled and looked sooooo good I had to pick them up for dessert tonight

In an effort to be more disciplined (and needing to get the carb monkey off my back yet again), I have devised a strict schedule for Tuesday.  I wrote it all down and the list is in my purse, so I'll have to post it tomorrow.  Wish me luck!

More later,
Kix

PS, that cake sounds darned tasty!  Is this another of your awesome creations?  If so, please post the recipe somewhere!

PPS:  How much caffeine is in that Click espresso?  Is it guaranteed to make me yodel with delight? 


I'm proud to say that I stuck to my strict schedule today, and I'm really, really tired now. 

I elected to do frequent small meals of protein drinks during the day and then ate a late lunch/early dinner (linner?  dunch?).  The snacks came later in the day so I would not fall
below 1000 calories (and I probably ate too many snacks, although at 1200 calories I'm
still in a good range for the day).

Meal 1: 1 EAS protein drink @110 calories, 17g protein
Meal 2: 1 EAS protein drink @110 calories, 17g protein
Meal 3: 1 EAS protein drink @110 calories, 17g protein
Meal 4: 1 EAS protein drink @110 calories, 17g protein
L/D: chicken legs and corn @ 700 calories, 55g protein
Snack 1: 2 protein puddings @200 calories, 40g protein
Snack 2: Think Thin protein bar @240 calories, 20g protein
Snack 3: Atkins protein bar @150 calories, 11g protein

Expended 505 calories exercising per pedometer. 

Totals: 1730 calories - 505 = 1225 calories and around 190g protein

It is highly caffeinated, I think one serving is the equivalent of 2 shots of espresso, which is why I needed to find another protein I like. I can't be doing that twice a day.

The cake is from pioneerwoman.com - I'm going to try to modify the recipe with splenda and maybe whole wheat pastry flour. If its any good after I butcher its simple beauty I'll post it. The ORIGINAL cake is ridiciculously delicious, like a tangy citrus pound cake.

I went to Whole Paycheck today and among other things picked up a couple of the Think Thin bars. I noticed you liked them, and I've seen others mention them. I have to say, not terrible. The texture isn't bad and they don't smell weird, at least the white chocolate one I had a few bites of a few minutes ago.

I just came across the new flavors yesterday while shopping at Vitamin Barn.  I bought the white chocolate one, and a couple of the chocolate ones (one is something like chocolate mudpie and the other escapes me).  Just what I need are more tasty flavors, ARGH! 

I don't like that they are 240 calories, on the other hand, it's 20g protein and easy to carry around when you know you aren't going to have a good food choice (or if you need to budget for a snack at the movie while your movie partner is eating a tub o'popcorn drowning in butter and salt).

Good morning everyone! I've decided to only eat a snack if I feel a low blood sugar spell coming on and it seems to be working I've dropped 4 pounds since Friday!!!

Pre B - NF SF Brown Sugar Cinnamon Latte

B - Greek yogurt with fresh black and blueberries

S - if hungry  - turkey jerky

L - shrimp/edamame/veggie soup

S - sliced mangos

D - steak and veggies

Seriously, congrats!  I need to give up snacks, too.  But I like snacks!

Where do you get turkey jerky?  Is it disgusting?

I buy turkey jerky at Costco and I'm so in love with it. It's full of flavor, tender and the yummiest snack ever. It's the Pacific Gold brand and they call it Turkey Tenders.

One of our cousins in Holland is now addicted to it and I send it over all the time.

Looks like everyone is on top of the signals their body (or scale) is sending them!

B - SBD protein bar
S - 8 grapes
L - ?? business lunch at a fancy restaurant...any bets on fish or chicken?  That's usually par for the course!
D - pulled pork and roasted summer squash
I put that bugger on this morning in the crock pot.  I love crock pot dishes. 

Jen,  last night I tried to re-create your lemon tea chicken and forgot to steep the stuff together before adding it to the mixture.  Blech!  That is a step you don't want to leave out.  My tummy wasn't too happy about what I made either.  I wound up eating 2 multigrain blueberry pancakes w/ SF syrup for dinner.
