Meals for the Day - 03/05/08
Another Zone bar and an apple. Of course Emmitt ended up stealing half of the apple. (He’s a little apple fiend lately.) Twas ok as I ended up eating half an apple later in the day as a snack. That saved me taking a picture and recalculating the calories for this meal as I broke even.
Breakfast: 240 calories, 6 grams fat, 35.5 grams carbs, 5 grams fiber, 14 grams protein
Mmm, more salad. Same as yesterday (baby spinach, mixed greens, cranberries, apples, strawberries and cheese) but I threw some grilled chicken breast on top to add some protein and make it a bit more filling.
Lunch: 458 calories, 10.5 grams fat, 61.5 grams carbs, 13.5 grams fiber, 27.5 grams protein
Whew, sometimes experiements work! This was a good meal. Maybe a littler higher in calories than I’d usually put together, but it was well within my range today, so why not? I coated a chicken breast in some balsamic vinegar (I love that stuff) and a little bit of olive oil, then pan fried it. When that was done cooking, I tossed a cup of fresh diced pineapple into the pan to cook and gather up some of the leftover glaze. I made brown rice and carmelized some sweet onions for the chicken. Finished it off with a package of steamfresh microwave veggies. Corn, asparagus and baby carrots. Yum!
Dinner: 642 calories, 9.5 grams fat, 73 grams carbs, 5 grams fiber, 62 grams protein
Daily Total: 1340 calories, 26 grams fat, 170 grams carbs, 23.5 grams fiber, 103.5 grams protein
Exercise: Another day at the gym. Today, I learned the treadmills will go to 12.5% incline. They may go higher, but I haven’t had the guts to try it yet. Either way, 12.5% really works the muscles. 
20 minutes on the treadmill, 25 minutes on the elliptical and 20 minutes of weights. Total calories burned: 450
Net calories: 1340 calories - 450 calories = 890 calories for the day.
