Danyele asked a question in response to my post below about the nutritionist visit. Do I journal what I eat and what do I eat at 1-year out?
Well, I journal when I feel like I'm slipping and not paying attention to either portion control or overall amount of food consumed during the day. When I journal I use Fitday or Calorie-Count. (Links at right. I'm lazy.)
What I eat varies from day to day, but it generally boils down to this:
Breakfast: Protein shake made with either RTD shake with added protein scoop or fat-free milk and protein scoop.
Beverage: Tassimo latte (2 shots espresso, 1 t-disc)
Snack: yogurt or South Beach cereal bar
Lunch: 2-3 oz. protein, such as chicken, turkey, tuna, shrimp with 2-3 oz. salad or veggie side or unsweetened applesauce.
Snack: 1 piece fruit (apple, peach, nectarine or banana) or baby carrots or zucchini sticks with ranch dressing.
Dinner: 3-4 oz. protein, such as chicken, turkey, fish, shrimp, beef or pork with 2-3 oz veggie side or salad.
Snack: 1-2 oz cheese and 2 crackers or peanut butter and crackers.
Beverage: Tassimo latte (2 shots espresso, 1 t-disc)
PlusÂ… 48-64 oz. water or other liquids
I don't generally eat all those snacks. But I do give myself permission to have them if I feel hungry or want to eat. I usually will have a snack in the late afternoon just because if I don't eat, have a tendency to eat too much for dinner.
I don't really count calories, but I think I probably end up around 1200-1500 a day on big days. 900-1100 on normal days.
I try to stay away from processed starches and don't eat bread for the most part because it's evil and leads to eternal damnation--for me at least.
I really need a lot of variety to keep me happy, so I do vary what I eat. I do crave fruits and veggies and will feel yucky if I don't have at least one serving of them a day. I think that, for the most part, I eat a balanced diet that's what most healthy people should eat--just smaller portions. I like that fact that I really can go just about anywhere and find food to make me happy.
