Wow you had an awesome day there.  all that exercise and getting in all the right numbers is great.  You are really rocking that ship today.  Keep it up girl. Carla

1 egg, 1 slice ww toast (130 cals, 9g protein) 1 protein shake (105 cals, 25g protein) 1 slice 2% cheese (I remember it's 50 cals, can't remember protein g's) 3 bites of scrambled eggs with bits of sausage in it (who knows?) kashi bar (140 cals, 6g protein) some sf chocolate (70 calories, 0 protein) I know I probably didn't get in more than 50g of protein today, not such a great eating day, will try better tomorrow. Need to read everyone else's replies to get some new ideas.

You really should try inputing your food.  i dont think you got enough cals or protein there.  If you are starving you body you arent doing yourself any good.  Really sounds lik you arent getting enough food in you at all.  Think about trying sparkpeople or fit day.  I bet you could add more to you day.   take a look ok Carla

Thanks Carla and I think you are probably right. Problem is, I don't think I can actually EAT more food! I still get extremely full and stuffed from very small amounts and am often forcing myself to eat as it is. I have been considering lately adding some food replacement shakes to my day so I don't have to deal with eating more.
