January 2014- Let's record what we are eating!

No, the blood test is next week, 8th April, then I have to call back a week later for the result. DH is loving accusing me of losing too much weight, going too far, spending too much time in the gym and radically changing my diet which is "clearly at fault". I am really fed up of his comments. I actually weighed 5kg less when we met and I wasnt eating properly then (I didnt have a lot of money, what money I had went on partying and not food haha). Now I look so much better and am so much healthier, i looked like skin and bone then but he didnt complain! I would have definitely had a girl if I got PG then lol

stephk - I hope you don't mind if I join your private food diary thread ! I'd like to post daily as well to keep myself accountable.

Morning - coffee with coffeemate

Lunch - panera pick 2 with 1/2 tomato and mozzerella sandwich + black bean soup

Dinner - trader joe's frusta (like a cheese pizza) + 1/2 bottle of wine

Total 1320 calories, 35g fat, 49g protein . I'm aiming for 1500 calories a day and to cut back on dairy, but this diet is a HUGE change for me so I'm going to start off just doing my best. My attempt isn't until July so I have a couple of weeks to ease into it! I'm not going to track/limit sodium because that is way way too hard for me. Not eating meat is hard enough

Yesterday
Lunch
small bag of cheez its
ramen noodles (with hot sauce)
peanut butter sandwich
1 can of soda
dinner (I actually forgot to eat again so I didn't eat until around 10pm... this is very common for me)
1 chicken breast and 1 piece of bread

Totals:
calories: 1465
fat: 59g
Protien: 57g
I ate the chicken and piece of bread very last minute... So that put me over on protein.... I am aiming for 1800 calories because of my height. I am working on getting there.
I don't care about sodium....

bluebonnet - welcome I only post in case it helps someone with meal ideas as I have got ideas over time so its good to share

married - i wish i could forget to eat lol. By the way, my aim for protein is up to 60g per day because I find it too restrictive to do 40-50g. sometimes I do get around 50g which is great, but most of the time I am in the 50-60g bracket. When you think we probably had over 100g a day before, less is still less

[bluebonnet22]

Here's my unhealthy day plan !

Lunch: Sonic Grilled cheese + medium diet strawberry limeade
Dinner: 1.5 cups of zucchini rice + 1/2 bottle of wine

Totals: 1315 calories, 44 grams of fat, 38 grams of protein

i feel really rude for commenting on another posters food again but dreaming your calories seem really low - appreciate this is just 2 days and you might just not have been particularly hungry on these days.

also - i used to eat a lot of go ahead bars at uni - are these cereal bars?
