Georgia---isn't the rotissee chicken greasy?

b: protein shake

l: leftover from dinner (shrimp with garlic lime sauce)- 4oz

if i have a snack it'll be a 1oz cheese (weight watcher)

Today:

B- Boost Glucose Control shake - 190 cal, 16 g protein

Morning snack - Dannon Active Light Fat Free Yogurt - 70 cal, 5 g protein

L- leftovers: 1/4 cup fettucine alfredo, 2 oz grilled chicken, one baby portabella mushroom I also grilled, plus an Eat Smart Carrot Crunch pre-packaged salad (julienned carrots with a little red cabbage, raisins, and a low fat orange pineapple dressing - 150 cal 2 g protein). All together the meal is about 363 cal 26 g protein

Afternoon snack - fresh strawberries! 53 cal 1 g protein

D- leftovers again! Yum! Probably have 1/2 cup of the fettucini alfredo and 3 oz chicken and two grilled baby bellas, I figure about 379 cal 39 g protein

Even snack (maybe) - microwave apple slices with cinnamon and Splenda - 110 cal 1 g protein

Day's total: 1165 cal 88 g protein

I love to grill chicken breasts. I marinate them in soy sauce, garlic and a little black pepper for one day. I also marinate the portabellas in soy sauce and a little EV Olive oil so they won't stick to the grill. My kids LOVE this dinner :tongue2:

Also - I pack a couple of "extras" in my lunch box in case I get hungry during the day. Most times I never eat them, but here's what I keep on hand:

1.5 oz turkey jerky - 120 cal 15 g protein

8 oz can of green beans - 20 cal 1 g protein (I love them cold right out of the can!)

Hugs!

What is the proper amount of carbs/protein/fat to have each day and still be in a losing mode??

What is the proper amount of carbs/protein/fat to have each day and still be in a losing mode??

 

i try to keep my calories around 1100 per day, not necessarily tracking carb/protein/fat breakdown. for me, i like to get a good balance of all 3 - when i limited my carbs (good ones of course), i had several periods of no weightloss.
