Late last week I talked to a friend of mine who is a bodybuilder about my weight loss and the plateau I’ve faced over the past 2 years. My friend challenged me to track my eats through My Fitness Pal for a few days, that way he could look over my calorie, protein, carb, and fat intake.

Knowing that he’d be reviewing my eats made me think a LOT about what I was actually eating and how much I was eating. Knowing that he’d be looking over my food intake put me on edge a little because it made me more aware of the areas I needed to improve upon.

One of the biggest things I noticed is that I was eating way too little between 7AM and 6PM, which way too often lead me to overeat from 6PM-10PM. I’d be so hungry after work that I’d eat something while dinner was cooking.

With this realization, I’ve decided to make a few changes.  One of the first big changes I’m making is to eat more during the day and to eat a much lighter dinner. My hope is that this will leave me feeling more fulfilled during the day and will leave me feeling satisfied at the end of the day.  Here are my eats from yesterday on this new plan after flipping my diet around.

Breakfast – 2 slices of Ezekiel Flax bread, 3 egg whites, 1 slice of 2% Kraft cheese, 1 cup of coffee, and 3 tbsp of vanilla latte creamer — 9PP

Weight Watchers Egg Sandwich

Lunch – Flatout wrap, 1/2 cup of cheeseburger filling, lettuce, tomato, diet root beer, and Adora vitamin — 10PP

Dessert – 1 piece of Extra Lemon Square bar

I felt great at the end of the day yesterday.  I closed out the day consuming 35 out of 37 points and completed 2 hours of football practice.  Consistency is key, so I’m working hard to transition to this new plan this week.

What is your largest meal of the day?
