My Daily Check-In
So yesterday I posted about calorie consumption. I looked at a couple other online calculators. One said to multiply your weight by 10 to get your calorie consumption, the others had formula's. Either way, my calories are around 2,500 a day for maintenance of my current weight.
I'm keeping a very detailed food journal. Here's what I ate yesterday:
B: 2 egg sandwiches (520 cal)
S: 2oz Reduced Fat Cheddar (100 cal)
L: 2 piece of Double Fiber Wheat Bread (200 cal)
3 piece 2% Cheddar (135 cal)
1 Individual bag of Pirates Booty (130 cal)
S: 3 cups of grapes (180 cal)
D: 5oz Chicken (grilled) (150 cal)
1 cup Pasta & Veggie combo (290 cal)
S: 2 piece of Double Fiber Wheat Bread (200 cal)
2 Tblsp Reduced Fat Peanut Butter (190 cal)
2 Tblsp Sugar Free Preserves (60 cal)
Total: 2155
I definitely went high on the calories but I'm just being honest.
Today, I'm going to try to keep it around 1,600 and see how I do.
I read Shari's blog yesterday (Shari is "Jupiter" from the thread below me). She made a really good point. She kept reiterating that "We can do hard things". I'm going to keep that in my head and try to get over my anxiety and just go to the gym.
What did you eat today?
