Food Journal, Day One

I don't intend to post my food journal every day, but since this is the first day I thought "What the Hell?" Actually in any given day I think "What the Hell?" quite a bit, usually in reaction to other people's bonehead driving, weird hairstyles, rude behavior, and moronic things they say. But in this case, this rather utilitarian phrase, for which I've just gained a great deal of respect, is used in it's role of "Why the hell not?"

So for my Brunch I had a six-inch Subway Tuna sandwich, which breaks down as follows:

Total carbs: 45 g
Total fat: 30 g
Total fiber: 5 g
Total protein: 20 g
Total Calories: 530

I also had a cup of coffee with 1/4 cup of skim milk: 50 calories

1 Bag of Baked Lays Potato Chips

Total carbs 26 g

Total fat 1.5 g

Total protein: 2.5 g

Total fiber: 2.5 g

Total Calories: 130


Which isn't bad for two meals combined. It leaves me with 1300 calories for the day. I have another half of that sandwich in the refrigerator I can finish off for dinner.

I also intend to have a Cliff bar for a snack in a little while, which breaks down as follows:

Total carbs: 21 g
Total fat 9g
Total fiber 2 g
Total protein: 10 g
Total Calories: 200

Total for the midday 1090 Calories.

So sticking to my goal of 2,000 calories per day, I'll have +- 1000 calories for dinner. Properly planned, that's quite a bit.

Dinner turned out to be a bag of beef jerky--vegetarian style, made of seitan.

Total cals=260

And an apple:

Total cals= 180

Total for the day: =- 1, 500 calories. Not a bad start.
