Food Log
This is the first of what will be many, daily food logs. They are mostly here for my own amusement, so feel free to skip reading them if they make you so bored that you'd prefer to be dead.
The past few days
It's Sunday evening and the eating regime of the past few days has been fairly straightforward: omelets, some fruit and a couple of burger patties. I weighed myself around 7 p.m. and was surprised to find out that I went from 209 pounds on Friday to 205 pounds today. That's a decrease of four pounds and is probably attributable mostly to losing water since I cut off almost all carbs over the weekend.Omelets
I cooked home-made omelets for Lisa and myself this morning. Using a very nice and free app for my iPhone called Lose It! (which I will discuss at some future point if I keep using it), I calculated the meal to be 575 calories, about 45% of which came from some type of fat. I think about half of the fat was saturated. I will try to find ways to obtain more accurate information as the days and weeks progress.
Breakfast, 575 calories
1/2 of the omelet
2 eggs
3.5 strips of bacon
1/2 slice cheese
1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil (I would have used butter in the pan had we had it)
1 apple
1 banana
Lunch, 459 calories
The remaining 1/2 of the omelet
1 banana
Dinner, 471 calories
I had some leftover beans and rice from before Friday, so I finished them.
Nutrition
According to this app, today I ate 83g fat (1/4 saturated), 275 mg cholesterol, 1500mg sodium, 168g carbs (which is very high from the beans and rice, the goal is 100g or less), and 55g protein for a grand total of 1600 calories. I burned 200 off exercising, which leaves me with a net intake of 1400 calories. I have not felt hunger pangs at any point today.
