This was a fairly typical day, though I usually prepare a better lunch with more lean chicken and more veggies. Today was a day when I had to rely on a premade salad from Safeway for my lunch.
I usually eat between 1850 and 2100 calories Monday through Saturday. I try to get at least 135 grams of protein, and no more than 200 grams of carbs. I usually eat about 60 grams of fats, but I really don't worry about fats. Sundays are a free day. I usually eat around 3000-3500 calories on Sundays, but I eat well.
My BMR is about 1850. My maintenance is around 2600 calories. Right now I'm not working out as much as I had been. My maintenance is usually closer to 2900-3000 calories. While the math may not work out perfectly, I've been consistently losing a pound a week since January. The last five or so weeks I've basically maintained my weight. But, given recent events (new child, other health issues) I'm not too worried about that. I started back on the diet in earnest about 10 days ago and have lost about 5 pounds since then. I'm sure that some of that was water weight.
Also, I weigh most of my food with a digital scale. I don't weigh things like eggs, or an apple. But, I weigh just about everything else. I've gotten used to it and it seems very easy to me now. Thanks Leigh Peele!
