Daily Eats. 7/6/19 Saturday

Calories. ( daily Counted but not detailed - 1 cup of whole milk and 1 TBL Ghirardelli cocoa in coffee- whether used or not) 1173 Fat 27.2 g Fiber 19.8 g (green beans, cucumber, baby carrots) Carbs 63.7 g. (Mostly in veggies, yogurt, nuts) Protein 97.5 g. ( Eggs, Greek yogurt, tuna, peanuts ,PB2 ) Water 66 fl oz (not so good- must do better) Daily Calorie Composition: 29% from carbs, 27% from fat and 44% from protein.

Another day that started strong, and ended in grazing. Commonality: a big hit of sugar calories. It is quite possible to eat something like a Mcflurry and stay within a calorie goal, but apparently not for me.

Breakfast: sf chai latte, cottage cheese blueberries

Lunch: Panera corn chowder, part of a baguette, butter, and a big sugar cookie

Dinner: the rest of the soup and baquette. If I stop here, I'm still okay, but ....

Snacks: crackers, peanut butter toast, grilled asparagus, a diet coke and rum

Calories: who knows?

I begin again, with new resolve for the coming day. More protein, less sugar.

Just one concentrated hit of sugar (more than just a taste ie. one peanut M&M or the corner of a bread bun) will set off sugar and white carb cravings that I find difficult to withstand- as if more of "it" will satisfy the craving. Instead, the more I eat, the more I want, and the longer, then, it will take me to (painfully) detox.

For me, trying to put a fire out by throwing more wood at it never works. (Why I keep testing the truth- for me- of that logic......)

I sing that song, too!

Skipped breakfast yesterday. Only had coffee before my workout.

B - coffee

Post workout - Vega Sport protein shake

Lunch - 3 oz tri tip,1 jumbo egg, 2 oz corn pudding

Snack - Quest Bar (cookie dough)

At the movies - popcorn & Coke Zero

Dinner - 1/2 hamburger (left over from the 4th) 1 pork rib.

Snack - 1 cup ice cream.

Calories were under 1700, protein was over 100, so I'm hoping I'm dealing with inflammation from salt and muscle repair. Weight is up 4 pounds in a week and my eating has not been off the rails. Not sure what's going on except that my exercise is up a notch this week.

So glad we decided to start this daily eats thread. It is really helping me with accountability and truth!
