Hmm, you know how sometimes things look good on paper, but following it is a bit more tricky. Well, that is what I experienced on my first day of my new challenge. BUT I know this is simply growing pains and soon I will be clued up on what it is all about.
Eating went quite well.... until about supper time....
- Meal 1: 1 boiled egg with 2 servings of cherry tomato
- Meal 2: 0,5 meal replacement shake
- Meal 3: 120 grams tuna (packed in water) with 3 servings cherry tomato and a banana
- Meal 4: meal replacement bar
- Meal 5: Ground meat with 2 servings brussel sprouts and 1 serving mixed veg. I also had half a roti (Indian bread)
- Meal 6: 2 glasses of coke
Now I need to explain... the roti was not part of what I was supposed to eat and the coke definitely not on my list of items to drink. BUT I am a coke addict and the roti was so fresh...
One thing I have learnt is that I will definitely not buy a meal replacement bar again - the calories are too high and the fat content is also surprisingly high. Another lesson - you can eat a lot of veggies, it fills you up and is really good for you.
According to fitday, the days totals came to 1,941 calories (definitely too high) with the carbs/protein/fat breakdown being 44/29/27.
For exercise I did not do my 20 minute walk, I only did 10 minutes. BUT I am glad I at least did something;-)
