Workout: 40-minutes interval run. 419 calories burned. Technically, according to the plan the trainer put me on, I still need to take in 531 calories. I'll eat a light snack but I don't suspect I'll get quite that many by the end of the day. Guess I can throw in more calories tomorrow.

Added some almonds and grapes for the day and got to 1500 calories. As far as I'm concerned, the fewer calories, the better... but according to the trainer, that's not necessarily the best mentality. I'll shoot for more tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteYour menu looks good and calories look well-balanced. Something to consider (I'm not the expert or anything)add more to your lunch b/c it's gotta carry you for a while. You might add some avocado (a good healthy fat), you could add another slice of bread since it's reduced cal anyway. That's the good thing about advice- you can take it or leave it!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree, Mer. If I had realized how many calories I had to go, I would definitely have had a bigger lunch. This is definitely a learning process but I'm thrilled to finally have the right tools and to know what I'm doing. Thanks for the advice... I'll take it! :)
ReplyDeleteSomething I have found that helps is to divide my calories (or points in my case) up between my 3 meals and 2 snacks. Not evenly, but that way I have a general idea what to aim for each meal. If I go over at one meal, I take away that much in another area. Also, how many servings of calcium products are you getting each day? Another area I have to really put effort into is getting my healthy oils, like the avocado or olive oil. There is so much research about the health benefits from healthy fats and how it targets fat, esp. belly fat. I know you are going to reach your 155 goal in no time and I can't wait to hear about it! You have been SUCH a motivator for me in my journey as well.
