I have been eyeballing what you posted and will try to build some meals for myself with that when I have time... I'm trying to finish three ten-page papers, work full time, hit the gym, I have two volunteer meetings this week about volunteer work for this weekend with the Junior League... you get the idea.
My big concern is breakfast. I do not ever have time in the morning to cook myself something, and half of the time I don't have kitchen access. What would you recommend? I also don't know what you mean about this 50/40/40 thing? What does that mean, those numbers?
Were the numbers my trainer told me to consume completely wrong?
For today, I was running late and couldn't get breakfast so I had an apple at my desk at 8:30. Around eleven I was STARVING, so I had some Healthy Choice mac 'n cheese (270 calories, 6g fat, 40g carbs, 15g protein).
For lunch around 2:30 or 3, I'm having Lean Cuisine Chicken Parmesan (300 calories, 8g fat, 39g Carbs, 18g protein).
I'll go to the gym at 5pm, then I have a junior league meeting at 6:45 so I'll have to get dressed and hit that immediately after the gym. I guess I should avoid drinking a c-ocktail there?
After my JL meeting I'm going to eat leftovers from last night: baked chicken breast (skinless; 6 oz, 294 calories, 52g protein, 7.7g fat), 1/2 cup of peas (57 cal, 4 protein, 10 carb, 0 fat) and 10 asparagus spears (4 protein, 6 carb, 40 calories, 0 fat)
I had one Red Bull today (110 cal, 28g carbs, 1g protein), and the rest of the day diet green tea (No calories, carbs, NOTHING) and water.
My totals for today:
Calories: 1,152 (I KNOW this is low... sorry)
Fat: 22.2g fat
Carbs: 144g
Protein: 93.3g
I know being busy isn't an excuse, but I barely have time to sleep this week, so I'm doing the best I can.
better than junk food... I hate to say it but this excessive calorie/etc/etc counting is really discouraging and totally killing my motivation. I guess I just don't see why eating healthier food (no pizza/fast food, fried stuff, snack cakes, excessive sugary drinks etc) and going to the gym isn't enough
Maybe it's because I'm new to this, but it took me over a half-hour just to type out what I did up there... and the thought of doing that every day?
