***Monday Bites, Vites & Exercites***

Hi guys,
Yesterday we played golf with a couple from Toronto. I loved their accents! lol  I got up early this morning as usual and went out on the balcony to see the meteor shower...6 in 20 minutes. Not bad, Perseid! 

BITES: (DS Maintenance Mode)
B - 2 protein coffees (60g)
S - Fage Greek yogurt w/blueberries and slivered almonds, and protein coffee (30g)
S - JayRob protein bar and peanuts 
L - It will be late and likely combined with dinner (We went to a sports bar called the Tilted Kilt--think HOOTERS with the waitresses in skimpy Stewart plaid mini kilts. lol  Anyway, I ate 1/2 of an order of shepherd's pie) 
S - yes...Cheetos and chips
D - the other 1/2 of lunchtime shepherd's pie
S - TBD--maybe nothing

VITES:
morning batch: done 
4 calcium batches: done   
iron: done
evening batch: starting

EXERCITES:
Driving the cart, looking for lost golf balls and walking. 

Hello!  Hope your vacation is going great....I had a 'mini' one myself....although I stayed home.  Eating is back on track....wish the exercise was!

Hi, how do you know how much calories you absorded?

 

I use 'DS math', which is an estimate & calculates absorbed calories as follows:
60% of my protein calories
20% of my fat calories
60% of complex carb calories
100% of sugar calories.
I modify mine a little bit because my common channel is a little longer (150 cm), so I probably absorb more fat. Also, after tracking my complex vs. simple carbs for a while....I just use 75% for all net carbs.

Thank you for explaining this.

To clarify the amount of protein absorbed  is 60%, 60% of complex carb, 100% of sugar and 20% of fat depending on the length of your common channel.

Is there a conversion chart or calculator one can use to figure out DS Math? I If not where can I get the formula, or manual explaining DS Math.

Thank you very much

I use an excel spreadsheet to calculate my absorbed calories.  As for info on 'DS Math' here is the link from DSFacts.com.

Thanks Karamay, very helpful.

Great job! Excellent numbers.

 

As a Brit I struggle to tell the difference between Canadian and American accents.  It was news to me when I found out that Pamela Anderson and Jim Carey are Canadian!!

Bad carb day for me today - I just cracked!! :-S

B1 Protein shake	30
B2 Greek yogurt	20
S Raspberry & banana paleo mug cake	10
L Cheese jacket potato	15
S Cheese	10
S Choc chip muffin!!
D Chicken breast & cheesey broccoli	35
Protein:	120
F 82+
V All in (inc 6 batches of calcium) night time iron pending

 

I didn't know they were Canadian either. These folks sounded a bit like folks from Minnesota but they said "eh" at the end of their sentences more often.

Ut oh! It's the banana's fault. Carbs always want more and more friends to come to the party.
