This is kind of fun

Just thought I would post my food intake today, I love reading the "what did you eat" on the Cali board, gives insight into what is, or is not working for others. This is a tipical day now (For the last week) I have changed things up a little. Being 10 months out and taking in more calories, it was time to lower the fat% of my daily intake, so I stay under 30% for the total day, and get good carbs and protein but try not to be too anal (Which is hard for me). I am feeling great, and have begun losing again, 3 pounds so far this week, I have also gained another 2 pounds of lean body mass so now at 207#'s LBM. according to measurements and Tanida BF scale. I want to do the Bodpod as soon as one hits the area, more accurate I am sure. Total Calories: 2065 Breakfast: 234 Calories: 63.7 % carbs, 29.6 % protein, 6.6 % fat 1.0 cup Milk non-fat carb countdown 1.0 cup Optimum Power cereal Lunch: 339 Calories: 44.7 % carbs, 23.5 % protein, 31.7 % fat 1.0 oz PITA chips 0.5 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese 1.0 ea Danish Pastry-Strawb-Enrich-Sml-3" Dia Dinner: 218 Calories: 51.6 % carbs, 27.6 % protein, 20.7 % fat 1.0 slice Milton's multi grain bread 2.0 oz Sliced Roast Beef 1.0 tsp Mayonnaise Snacks: 1274 Calories: 47.7 % carbs, 36.8 % protein, 15.3 % fat 1.0 serving Avid bar 16.0 fl oz Nonfat Milk Coffee Latte 20.0 fl oz Nonfat Milk Coffee Latte 1.0 ea Banana 1.0 serving Avid bar 6.0 fl oz Red Wine 4.0 ea Saltine Crackers 1.0 serving Power pudding 1/2 cup

Looks good man! I do food audits every now and again, helps keep you in check. I have pretty much stopped losing wise, which is fine with me, now I am just working on building up the lean muscle mass. I think the bod pod is cool. We are going to do another one in May *or there abouts*. I was planning on getting my Resting metabolic rate done today, but the machine isn't working right, so they have to get it recalibrated. Sucked for sure. I am thinking about having a glass of Pinot Grigio tonight. What's the take on wine? I hear all kinds of different things. I mean, as far as calories, etc. go. I LOVE my wine. I am hooked on the latte's too, expensive little addiction isn't it? We have these punch cards for the espresso shop in the hospital, after you buy so many you get a free one, man I am working on getting that free latte!! I have some great goals huh?

Well you know the French health minister just came out with a study and has suggested 3 glasses of wine a day for heart health. I cannot do 3, but we usually have 1 at night. a 6 oz glass of red in about 120 cals, but is loaded with vits and other good stuff. Tha lattes are my vise for sure, but hey, I am getting my 24 oz of dairy I figure with what I save in fast food, I am still way ahead. I would love a punch card, what is better than a free latte.

Thanks for the info. I need to cut back a little bit. I have not done a log in a long,long time. My guess is that I am between 3,000-4,000 calories a day. I pretty much eat all the time. I am not losing or gaining now. Yes, this is a lot of calories for WLS, but, I am very,very active and been blessed with high metabolism. I will post my lab tested resting metabolism rate (RMR) in a future post. The lady that did the test was surprised it was so high considering that I had WLS. She suspected a much lower (RMR) number. Prior to WLS I am guessing I was eating 4,000-6,000 calories with far less exercise...and since WLS I have added a lot of lean muscle mass

I am burning 3400 calories a day just living (According to the doc) but I still store cals for some reason. I have to be in a calorie deficit of no less that -1200 daily to lose weight. You should be doing well with that furnace of a motabalism.

What kind of workout logs do ya'll use? Thanks! Kelly
