1700 cals
 |
| Breakfast 213cals/13g Protein/28g Carbs/4g Fat |
Tilda Wholegrain Pilau
6 Tbsp Liquid Egg Whites
20g Wild Rocket
Lunch 257 calories
Same as Breakfast (minus the Egg) but added in 33g of Feta Cheese.
 |
| Dinner 703cals/34g Protein/40g Fat/54 Carbs |
Pan-fried Chicken with Sweet Potato Chips & Salad.
Fat content was high, will have to re-adjust for next time by halfing the quantities of Oils and dressing. Very satisfying Dinner. I cooked the Potatoes in my Philips Actifryer using 1/2 tsp of Olive oil, they can out great.
 |
| Dessert 456cals/8g Protein/18g Fat/63 Carbs |
Dessert 456 calories
Mixed fruit salad with Coconut Greek Yoghurt (sprinkled with Chia Seeds)
This will need some tweaking, I did'nt really need this much and I added way too much yoghurt 130g - 60g would have been sufficient...this needs some tweeking.
Snacks
4 Brazilian Nuts & 4 Dried Apricots.
Water
Water intake was okay but could be better.
Ooh I remember the calorie counting days. They seem to be clear and straight forward but some of those restrictions drove me crazy. It was like every thing was off limits. I couldn't eat like a normal person when I was counting. It's not that calorie control is a bad idea it's just that in practise there are SO SO many foods that don't have a calorie measurement and guessing (or using online calorie lists) made things 10x harder. Whilst you're making these delicious meals how do you count calories? Do you have a diary nearby or measure things out or both?
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with all the hunting for food labels and nutrition information. However, since being on My Fitness Pal for the past 2years, I have found that things have greatly improved technology-wise... I can find everything on the site that gives me all the macronutrient information I need. I'm a big fan of MFP....I have met a lot on encouraging people on there too. Although, I do have to kick my butt from-time-to-time but, with the past data I have collated, it makes it 10x easier to get back on track and re-visit my past food journal entries on MFP to give me an idea of the rights foods to start eating again.
