66/365 Food Diary Example 1

Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,

As requested, here is what I ate yesterday and their approximate caloric values (after doing The Daily Plate for so long, you kind of memorize the calories of everything you eat):

Breakfast:
1/2 cup non-fat vanilla yogurt (90)
1 diced peach cup, no syrup (60)
1/4 c Bear Naked Granola (140)

1/3 c. oatmeal (150)
1 tbsp nutella (50)

Total Net Calories: 490

Post Workout:
1 banana (70)
1 scoop of Gold Standard double chocolate protein in water (120)

Total Net Calories: 680

Lunch
1/2 cup potato gnocchi (150)
1/4 c gorgonzola zucchini sauce (110)

Total Net Calories: 940

Dinner
1/2 chicken breast (110)
about 1 cup of zucchini (45)

Total Net Calories: 1095

Other food
a chocolate chip cookie (120)
a fudge brownie piece (120)
2 cucumber slice tea sandwich (60)
bell peppers and cucumbers in hummus(75)
1/2 bagel (110)
raspberry cream cheese (80)

Total Net Calories: 1660

I also worked out which probably sets me back 300 calories (rough guess), so my total is probably closer to 1260. So yesterday, I could have eaten a little more. I try to aim for 1600 calories/day. Some days are better than others. I'll do this again randomly and see what's up. I hope that helps you get an idea of what the day in the life of my diet is like.

In health,

Lauren
