1 Greek Yogurt, 2 T flaxseed, 1/2 cup each strawberries and blueberries

3:45 pm 2 tablespoons Smuckers Natural PB 

6:00 pm 2 oz Jarlsberg Light Swiss cheese (snack in the car)

So what’s my review of myself?

Good job on the eating frequency. Lots of protein in there (eggs, cheese, yogurt, beef, lentils, soy sausage and Boca burger, PB) Enough calcium from the lowfat cheeses, soymilk and yogurt. Healthy fats from flaxseed and peanut butter. Replenished glycogen with carbs after working out (so I’m fueled up for FitFast tomorrow!). One thing I could improve on is that I had several snacks which didn’t include any fruits or veggies, but I did have huge portions of them at other meals. I will work on toting some baby carrots or apples with me. 

Just for fun I ran it on a nutrition analysis program I have: I estimated my calories as about 2000 and the program put me at 2067 calories so far. Damn I’m good! You’d think I was…a dietitian!  :) 

 So Devon, the answer to your question is I eat 30% calories from fat (36% carbs, 34% protein)

(Edit I was still hungry and had some Glenny’s soy crisps at 8:30) so add another 150 calories.
