Week 10 – Day 66 of 84

I’m struggling with the macronutrient ratios still.  Low carb feels more like NO carb!!! There are carbs in everything.  I’ll certainly be glad to get back to BFL (or similar) style eating.  Twelve weeks of counting/weighing EVERY morsel that goes in your mouth gets a little old.  I do think the scale will reflect the lower carbs, though!  Here’s what today looked like:

Today’s Eats:

Goal = 1262 calories (50%p/30%c/20%f)

Actual = 1238 (-24)

Ratio = 40% protein/41% carbs/19% fat

B – 3 hard boiled eggs (only 1 yolk) and 1/2 c dry Fiber One cereal

MM – Myoplex Lite Bar

L – Subway salad with double chicken breast, 1/2 serving of red wine vinaigrette

MM – 1/2 Myoplex Deluxe protein bar

S – 1 Tuna pouch with 1/2 tablespoon Miracle Whip light, salad with red wine spritzer, Protein shake

MM – Protein pudding and dollop of Cool Whip

Today’s Workout: C2
