Accountability... what did you eat Wednesday

The 5 dpt went well.  It helped me to feel a sense of control again. I wasn't gaining, but I was feeling like I was slipping.  Defintely a wake up call, and a good one.

Day Four I did wonderful until I went to play pool and there was Pizza.  I only ate a thin slice with the crust and the topping of another.  Even with that, My numbers are good.  I now remember how much I really enjoy eating the Protiens!  I am feeling really good about what I am doing and I am paying attention to triggers.  At the time I ate the turkey and cheese,  I could have eaten an unlimited amount of wonderful looking fresh baked cookies and I didn't touch one!  Here is my days intake:

Yes. I discovered that I really was after the protein and not the bread myself and I would rather have the meat in the sandwich than the sandwich itself. Very nice day and totals for you.. 127 whoo hoo.. Carla

Hi brandi, a very nice day of protein, fat and carbs.  cals are a little low but thats because of the nice food choices you made.  It's great how you can eat a whole piece of chicken for the same caloric value of a couple bites of chili.   Try and move the cals up a bit but keep the same food plan.. you had a nice day of eating. Carla

Hi Carla :) I'm actually trying lose weight, rather than maintain. My doctor and nutritionist have me on a 600-900 cal program with a minimum of 80g protein. I had strayed far from this, until I did the 5 dpt. It's nice to feel in control again. It's only been 2 weeks...but it's so much easier to say NO to carbs, chocolate and all (which are aaaaalways around my office, unfortunately). I figured I would start posting, to kind of help with my accountabilty. I used to keep a food journal...but what's the use if no one looks at it but me? lol Thank you for the kind words of encouragement. It feels nice. :) Brandi

Getting better and better each day....

If I want to loose, what should be the target range for fat, carbs, calories and Protien?   It seems  I should know this,  But I don't. I look forward to your thread everyday.  Thanks for you feedback!

Your posts are helpful and I love reading about what others ate. It helps me. Breakfast 1 cup of coffee with 1% milk 1/2 cup of protein oatmeal  snack 1 cup of salad with a table spoon of bc dressing 4 slices of cucumber 8 slices of turkey pepperoni with a half of LF swiss  cup of coffee with 1% milk Lunch handful of trail mix(no chocolate peices or raisins) 2 tablespoons of peanut butter snack protein bar 1oz of protein soy chips 2 glasses of crystal light  wow I dont know what I am having for dinner ,but guys tell me ...thats a lot already! It seems so much..I really  need to write down what i am eating on a daily basis!!!! OMGthis is the first time in months that I wrote what I ate down. I think I may try the 5dpt! I have found 5 pounds (not walking everyday like 3 months ago)it's more like once a week  in the cold. I am struggling and I need a kick in the tush!  I am open to any help I can get.I feel  a tad bit out of control.
