Food in a Day


Every day is different, but I thought I would show you a sample day on Live Strong.  I make my own menu.  My breakfast was a smoothie, my lunch was chicken salad on crackers with frozen grapes (my new love), on the side.  Although I went over for the day in fiber and protein, that's okay - The doctor said I needed to have more protein when I exercise more, and I need more fiber than most.  

The ones I worry about are carbs, sodium, fat, calories, and cholesterol.  I am usually much lower in sodium, but where I went wrong was using canned chicken for lunch WITH crackers.  Should have had real chicken and whole grain crackers or bread.  I went a little over calories for the day, but I had over 400 exercise calories that helped make up the difference.  

So that's me in a day - not starving and losing weight.
