I worked out at the gym last night, lifting weights and keeping record of the amount of weight I'm lifting and how many reps. I usually do 3-4 reps of 15 for each exercise. I then added in cardio on the Cardio Wave machine and then some walking on the track. So in all, I worked out for an hour and 10 minutes. Then afterward, I went to eat dinner with a friend at Carraba's. I had the grilled salmon with zucchini and a house salad with a small half-dollar size piece of bread. I just wanted a taste but no more. I immediately cut my plate of fish and zucchini in half and put the rest in a to-go box. I ate all my salad first.
You can see in the first picture what it looks like after I cut my meal in half. And I was FULL! The second photo is what it looks like when it came out to the table. Then the third picture is my salad. I ask for all dressings on the side so I can dip my fork halfway in then take a few bites of salad in between each dip. I'm not a big dressing person. I get grossed out when my salad is drenched in dressing. In all, I probably only eat about a teaspoon of dressing, max, if that!
My meal was a total of around 204 calories! And I was full! And it was soooooo good!
My late snack right after my workout was my fat free chocolate milk. It's great to replenish the body with the nutrients it needs after lifting weights. It's better as a replenishment than a protein shake! It was only 130 calories.
I netted the whole day with 1194 calories. And I hit my percentages of 26.3% protein, 47% carbs and 26.8% fat. The goal percentages are 25% protein, 50% carbs and 25% fat. As long as I stay close to those percentages, then I'm getting a balanced meal.
