A Day In My Life - Friday
Filed Under Eating Healthy, Weight Loss
Here’s today’s food journal, a bit late but complete. It’s funny, I thought I would do this exercise just to show other people how it’s done but I’m actually learning quite a bit about my own eating habits. Which proves that this is a good thing to do on occasion, even for people who believe they know everything about the food they eat.
7am Breakfast
Whole wheat wrap with strawberry jam. The wrap was 90 calories, 3g of fat, 15g of carbs, 9g of fiber and 9g of protein. Here is nutritional information for the jam. I used the 1tbsp measurement and multiplied by 2. So total for breakfast was 174 calories, 3g of fat, 35g of carbs, 9g of fiber and 9g of protein.
10am Snack
A bagel with a bit of creamcheese. Here is nutritional information for the bagel, I used the 1 medium serving size. Here is information on the cream cheese, I used the 1oz serving size. Total for this meal was 387 calories, 12g of fat, 57g of carbs, 2g of fiber and 13g of protein. This is a snack I could have done without. No clue why I had it. I wasn’t very hungry, but it was there and I gave in to an urge. Oh well, it happens.
noon lunch
Peanut butter and jelly sandwich, with information that can be found here. Also added a chocolate chip cookie. Can’t find the exact kind of cookie so I estimated the type as this one. I used the triple chocolate cookie found here. I multiplied this by two though since I had a big cookie! Total for this meal was 751 calories, 37g of fat, 98g of carbs, 7g of fiber and 15g of protein.
5pm snack
Veggie sandwich. Unfortunately, it was one rich in cheese and mayo, which makes for a very unhealthy sandwich. You can see the numbers for yourself here. I had the Del Monte Special I believe. So total for this snack was 860 calories, 69g of fat (ouch!), 49g of carbs, 20g of fiber and 15g of protein. Just goes to show you that something that sounds healthy can be very unhealthy when you’re done adding cheese and special sauces to it.
7pm Dinner
Steamed Veggies. I needed something light. So this was it. 150 calories, 6g of fat, 24g of carbs, 9g of fiber and 6g of protein
Totals
Calories - 2332
Fat - 127g
Carbs - 263g
Fiber - 47g
Protein - 58g
One thing to note. I knew I overdid it with those cookies and the veggie sandwich. In the past, I would just figure since I blew my day already, I might as well binge. These days I just ate a light dinner and still came in well within my daily calorie goal.
