I decided to start logging what I'm eating using calorie count plus, just to kind of see where I was standing in the beginning. I after looking at it, I think getting anywhere near the 265 grams of protein I'm supposed to get is going to be VERY difficult. I think its going to be really hard to eat as many calories as I should be. I don't have the calculations with me, but I'm supposed to be eating somewhere around 2300 Calories a day. Today I even ate a lot for me. And had more protien than I do on a typical day. I'm pretty sure I'll only get the kinds of results I want with lifting if I'm eating the way I'm supposed to be.
On the plus side, I've successfully quit the pop! :-) yay! i've had one sugary pop in the last week. I've also found that sugar free chocolate pudding is a pretty good substitute for chocolate ice cream cravings. lol. I tried it with some chocolate whey in it, but the texture kinda grossed me out. I don't think I'll be doing that anymore.
I need to eat more veggies. Any good/easy ways to cook broccoli or brussel sprouts? I saw one article that suggested steamed broccoli with some EVOO and chili flakes. I'm not a fan of broccoli, but it seems so healthy that feel I should try to incorporate it into my diet. I don't think I can get all my veggie goodness just from spinach and romaine in salads :-)
