Meals for the Day 2/11/08
Monday is a gym day, so had to start off with some nice, substantial Kashi.
Breakfast: 265 calories, 4.5 grams fat, 44 grams carbs, 8 grams fiber, 15 grams protein
Came home from the gym feeling pretty starved. Yesterday was pretty light on the fiber, so I decided to bulk up with some greens. Nice, big salad with all the veggie fixings. I threw some chicken on there, but left off the cheese. Also used the new Ken’s “spray” dressing because it’s only got one calorie per spray. 25 sprays did the trick. 
Also, a repeat of yesterday’s bowl of fresh pineapple with fat free cottage cheese.
Lunch: 400 calories, 5 grams fat, 48.5 grams carbs, 8.5 grams fiber, 50 grams protein
Who says you can’t eat yummy food while “on a diet?” This was probably the best dinner I’ve had since the contest started.
I grilled some mahi mahi filets with some garlic pepper and salt. I paired that with asian style steamed veggies and some garlic and olive oil couscous. I served the couscous on a bed of chopped baby spinach and topped it with red onion, green onion, grape tomatoes, balsamic vinegar and a splash of olive oil.
Mmmm.
Dinner: 532 calories, 21.5 grams fat, 49.5 grams carbs, 6.5 grams fiber, 33.5 grams protein
Mmm….Kashi cookie and milk.
Snack: 220 calories, 5 grams fat, 34 grams carbs, 3 grams fiber, 10 grams protein
Exercise
Another great day at the gym. I changed up my routine a bit today to keep it fresh. Started off with 15 minutes on the treadmill at an 8% incline. I moved from there to the weights for 20 minutes of lifting, then headed to the elliptical for 25 minutes of cross training. Today might be the first day I didn’t feel like I was going to just die during my work out. I hope that’s a good sign. 
Total calories burned: 450
Daily Total: 1317 calories, 36 grams fat, 176 grams carbs, 26 grams fiber, 108.5 grams protein
Net calories for the day: 1317 - 450 = 967 calories
Oh yeah, I’m so having cookies and milk and updating this later tonight.

in 12 days you lost 6 pounds. That’s great for women as they don’t have muscle mass. Think of building lean muscles mass in your body which will help you burn more calories even resting…
With your diet You can cut your carbs more (upto 100gm per day), add more fat from sources like almonds, walnuts, cashew etc. Oh try out Fishoil caps too… it’ll help increase fat loss.
