Well, I started the food on a low carb day. The day before I had Pizza Rolls and junk in mental preparation of today. The best part of cycling is "I can have it tomorrow if I want". Cheat meals on high carb days do take some sting out. I was nervous about the low carb days..I like carbs.
Breakfast was a chocolate smoothie of whey protein and 2% milk. No almond milk for me, that may be my one crutch because we have kids. I moved from whole to 2% already...that is enough.
Lunch was 4oz of Salmon and about the same amount of green beans. Fresh frozen farm beans are nice change.
Mid afternoon was 4oz of chicken strips I warmed with about the same mixed veggies from a frozen mix
Dinner was suppose to be the same as lunch, but I was busy at work and missed it.
Late meal was the same as lunch plus a salad with 1/2oz shredded cheese and balsamic vinagrette added for bulk.
Misc: I had about 6 regular M&M's and a Mini Almond snickers...I was hungry and missed a meal. I need bars or something to help with that.
Water - I had 150oz in total
Calories:
B - 260+183 (mix + milk) = 443
L - 280+50 (salmon + beans) = 330
MA - 133+85 (chicken + veggies) = 218
D - 0
LM - 280+50+20+70+90 (salmon + beans+salad mix+dressing+cheese) = 510
Total for day 1501 calories + misc food calories of about 200
1700 Total Calories
I had planned on the salad with more chicken at home, so I would have only added another 133 calories with all my planned meals. So, 1634 was the day's setup. I need to make sure my last meal is not the largest. That is a bad habit to have and difficult to break.
I may need to weigh my food to get better calorie counts..I an picky that way. The system uses hand portions, which I like..but I may have messed up for the next day's food by getting carb and veggie backwards..Oh well. Live and learn
