Upping the Anti…
Posted by jenmarie under: Uncategorized.
Trying to get more protein in my diet, and less carbs. Here’s today! (and no eating late - hoorah!)
about 1800 cal today. (lots of working out…)
10:30 a.m. - banana, flax seed, and soy yogurt
1:30 p.m. - potato chips (not typical chips… low sodium and cooked lightly in olive oil), tuna, hummus, cashew crunch
4:30 p.m. - cinnamon raisin bread, clementine
5:00 p.m. - apple and a bite of avocado (preparing dinner)
7:30 p.m. - huge “taco” salad - corn, spinach, salad, tomatoes, onions, avocado, turkey ham, a few corn chips and a serving of almond butter (to push me up to the 1800 cal mark… 1600 won’t cut it for me if i don’t want to lose weight or wake up hungry…)
So today, 45% fat (good fats), 39% carbs and 16% protein.
I’m considering eliminating “white carbs” from my diet - i.e. potato chips and rice cakes, and substituting more flax seed crackers and brown rice-based snacks (I can’t eat gluten so no multigrain or whole wheat things for me!)
Thoughts? I’m training for that triathalon and marathon, so I want to keep an eye on what I’m eating, but I’m not quite sure what that should look like.
One Comment so far...

I’m not a nutritionist, but I am a personal trainer and a running coach, you are eating healthy stuff and the calories are in line. I think you are going to want to increase your carbohydrate intake to support your training as you get closer to your marathon. It may not be a big deal now, but when the runs get longer, you may find you need to tweak things a bit. http://lvhm.sweat365.com/2007/10/26/nutrition-for-endurance/ Keep up the good work!
