S Freud workout/diet log

[S Freud]

I've been out of the gym for a while now and I felt like the new year and a new school were good reasons to start new again in the gym.


My body hasn't changed much in the last year I weigh about the same but I'm not happy about the slight spare tire I've put on around my midsection. To combat this I've cut back on the carbs and sugars and gone with a two day a week full body routine with three days of cardio per week. I will weight myself once a week.

I'm hoping this log will help me keep a record and provide motivation to work towards my goals.


January 10th, 2011 Day 1 Weight: 167
For breakfast I had a three egg omelet with tomato and turkey breast with a glass of 2% milk

Lunch: Romain hearts and leafy green salad with chicken breast and light italian dressing

afternoon snack: peanut butter and honey sandwich on white bread

Dinner: Chicken breast with white rice and green beans

Cals: 2,735 Pro: 169 Carbs: 149 Fat: 162

It seems like my carbs and fats are still a little high.

ran a little over a mile this afternoon, not bad for my first day but I will improve beyond this.

I plan to supplement my diet with a couple protein shakes during the day especially on Tuesdays and Thursdays when I have class.

This log is mostly for my own motivation but if anyone has any advice/critiques/questions about diet or routines please feel free to ask!

Do you expect to lose weight on 2700kcal or are you sticking with maintenance calories and adjusting from there?

 

[S Freud]

Just going with maintenance and adjusting from there. I am still tweaking and fine tuning this whole setup, cals, routine, etc.

 

[KoolDrew]

I'd honestly cut your fat intake in half. Right now over 50% of your calories are from fat.

 

[Texashiker]

Get rid of the white bread and eat whole wheat instead.

 

[SociallyChallenged]

Your carbs are actually pretty low. 600cal/2700cal = 22% of your total caloric intake are from carbs. Most people take in 20-40%, even without being very aerobically active. On top of that, how are you getting 170g of fat in your diet? I see eggs and peanut butter are really the only fatty foods in your written diet... You're either eating a ton of peanut butter or you're not giving us your literal diet.

I copy everything or use the barcode scanner to track everything in an app on my phone called calorie counter. There is some cheese that I forgot to put down in the OP but I don't think that would make the difference you guys are talking about. I copied my foods into Fitday and came out with totals completely different. Maybe todays counts will make more sense?

For example.

Breakfast this morning was:

2 servings 100% Whey
2 Cups of 2% milk
2 pouches safeway peaches and cream instant oatmeal (I know its not the best but its all I had this morning, I need to go grocery shopping).
