Treasure. I have a difficult time hitting my protein macro too. I am know to put vanilla protein powder in my morning oats and use as creamer for my coffees. Sometimes I eat cottage cheese b4 bed and throw chocolate protein powder in it....

It's actually the calories I have a hard time hitting. The last couple months have been spent reintroducing my body to food, my calories had been cut so drastically I was down to like the 500-700 range and half of those in the form of liquids. I was even gaining weight at that level of calorie intake. So I'm starting out in pretty bad shape.

Today is a high pain day. It's cold and rainy which makes me hurt like nobody's business. This morning I had brunch, then meals 3 and 4 got blended into 1... I'm hurting so much I'm just not interested in food. I'll post up my full log later tonight, but it's just not a spot on day. To make it worse it's my "heavy" day as far as demands on my time go. (I HATE Thursdays)
As I'm thinking about Dinner... Spaghetti sounds good... then I remember that's off limits right now... *shrug* I'll figure out something.

Turns out that my Hubby (Kit) had planned for me having a bad day. He had put a corned beef in the crock pot and pre-cut the cabbage. That left me with just the need to actually blanch the cabbage, and heat up the potatoes (he had those in the fridge). Go, Hubby! Anyway, when I'm hurting really badly it's hard for me to eat, so I either don't eat or end up eating crap. My food log today reflects that. Luckily this was the last corned beef in the freezer so it's the last one until after the comp is over. Now, without further ado, my food log:
Brunch (11ish)
6egg whites
2 eggs
4oz BSCB
1c Diced onions and bell pepper blend
2Tbsp Salsa
Totals: 479 calories, 75g Protein, 10g Carbs, 14g Fat
Second meal:
140g Frozen Pineapple
140g Frozen Mango
1c Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
70g Vanilla Muscle Milk
(makes a protein fluff like substance)
Totals: 540calories, 33g Protein, 69g Carbs, 16g Fat
Supper:
4.3ozs Corned Beef
1c Mashed Potatoes
(Love cabbage, but it was upsetting my stomach)
Totals: 606 Calories, 26g Protein, 35g Carbs, 36g Fat
I know I ate like shit. I know hurting is no excuse, but the truth is when I hurt like I did today, food is the last thing I want.

I think I did better.
Breakfast:
4oz BSCB
6 egg whites
1 egg
1/2 Avocado
Totals:
Snack:
1/2 cup pistachios (with shells)
1c Almond milk
35gm Muscle Milk
Lunch:
2.5oz BSCB
2 steamed artichokes
1tbsp Earth Balance
1Tbsp Lemon juice
Dinner:
Small baked Sweet Potato
~8ozs BSCB (forgot to weigh my serving but weighed the Hubby's when he got home and I dished him about what I dished myself)
1Tbsp BBQ Sauce
2Tbsp Fat free Greek Yogurt.
Today, I did a BUNCH of precooking. I've got 10lbs of fajita chicken, 5lbs of BBQ chicken, 5lbs of Rotisserie chicken, 5lbs of Lemon Pepper chicken and 5lbs of Tandoori Chicken cooked. I also baked 12 sweet potatoes more than was needed for dinner tonight. I put marinade on two batches of frozen fish (this way the fish marinades as it thaws), and put that back in the freezer for later. I've got 12 more sweet potatoes that I've split between cutting into cubes for roasting or into sticks for "fries". I've got a 3lb batch of quinoa cooked and in the fridge. So that just leaves me having to cook veggies at meal times. I also have brown rice in my handy-dandy trusty rice cooker.
So I at least took steps to prevent this coming Thursday from being anywhere near as bad as the last few.

Sorry guys, I had put that in as a nice, neat, pretty table and when I hit post it took out all the tabling. I'll see if I can repost it neater. (I don't have the ability to edit my posts for some reason.)

You have NO idea, Girly. I can take almost anything except a lack of forward motion/progress. Behind the scenes I'm pretty sure I was driving Twitz on the autobahn to the funny farm! LOL
Yes, BSCB is Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast, CJ.

So the mini-goal for the moment is 10lbs by 3/15... I'm hoping to surpass it, but I'm not gonna push my luck!

Thanks, Girly! Hubby has offered me a couple killer rewards for making my final goal, he's still coming up with what he wants to offer me for the mini-goals.
My big rewards are a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes and a trip to Rio for Carnaval. So, he's definitely got the right ideas so far

Yesterday I finally gave into a craving I've had for about a week for a green smoothie. I love them when they are well balanced, but BOY can they be filling! It should be noted that when I say "a green smoothie" while talking about myself, I'm referring to the entire blender pitcher full of smoothie. I usually don't have anything solid until I've finished the smoothie.
Smoothie: (9 cups worth)
1 Banana
146g Mangos
142g Peaches
3oz Baby Carrots
8oz turnip greens
13oz Broccoli
1 Tbsp Flaxseed oil
Totals: 617 calories, 18g Protein, 99g Carbs, 15g Fat
(This one wasn't as well balanced as I prefer. I drank this throughout the day.)
Lunch:
8oz BSCB
(and part of the smoothie)
Totals: 240 calories, 46g Protein, 0g Carbs, 6g Fat
Dinner:
12oz Swai Fillet
Totals: 240 calories, 45g Protein, 9g Fat
Daily Totals: 1097 calories, 109g Protein, 99g Carbs, 30g fat

Sadly, that's often the case when I have a "smoothie day". Though the sense of well-being and the fantastic way I feel often makes me more than willing to deal with any negatives. I'm trying to learn to make smaller batches, so that I can have them more often.

I'm the exact opposite of you. I can hit my protein macros very easily. I've yet to get my carbs really anywhere near where the diet said they should be. If you subtract my veggie carbs most days I don't have enough carbs to amount to a hill of beans unless I make myself add rice or sweet potatoes to a meal. Then again, my ex had a gastric bypass and all of his foods had to be VERY high in protein so I learned how to improve nutrient density in many respects. My biggest issue is remembering to eat and actually getting all my calories in without resorting to something like white rice with butter and sugar.

How's it going so far today Treasure?
-
02-26-2013, 03:49 PM #76
It's going good. Two huge salads and my regular breakfast... I'm feeling better with the reduced carb intake and I'm not craving any where NEAR as many sweets. Now I am craving avocados or cheese cake (my homemade one isn't at all sweet). Reducing the carbs also seems to have just about completely eliminated my fatigue issues later in the day.
-
02-26-2013, 06:34 PM #77
When I'm craving sweets, I mix greek yogurt with a tbsp of peanut butter and 2 tsp of cocoa powder. Sometimes I may throw in some walnuts or bluberries too. It's pretty satisfying!
-

My version of protein fluff is about as much "sweet" as I've been craving lately. Well that and occasionally some chocolate, but the chocolate craving is easily deterred/distracted. My fruit cravings are a different story.

How did you finish off? Was it a good day?

sorry, this is a little late in response, but I found one way to add some protein #s and crave the sweet tooth a bit if it is a problem.... if you are short at the end of the day just use whey in Low fat instant pudding. Pretty simple and it sets in 10 mins start to finish...
Directions are usually 2 cups milk, but with the addition of whey powder (use casein if its before bed) add an extra half cup. I use plain Almond milk just cause I never keep milk in the house or the odd time I go 50/50 with skim
In a blender (medium speed)...
total 2.5 cups either milk, almond milk or combination
mix in 4 scoops of protein powder
1 packet of LF instant pudding
(sometimes I throw in half a banana for the extra taste)
put in bowl, chill in fridge, ready!!!... the entire serving will have about 100g protein but it is large enough to split over 2 meals (but I would not eat both in same day)Last edited by Knockout_Power; 02-27-2013 at 04:37 AM.
