Plan - 1400 Calorie Menu
Laree
here again. I didn't have time to do the whole week, but here's
a start - Monday's food plan.
This
is based on 1,400 calories, so obviously you'll want to add more
(or subtract, but NOT MUCH) to suit your needs. Interestingly, I
just wrote down a food plan based on what's fairly normal for me,
adding the Bomber
Blend whey morning shake and replacing my three mid-day
protein bar meals with real food. Then I went to a diet analysis
site and entered each food in the proper measurements. It came out
pretty high fat, although it doesn't look like it at first glance.
See what you think.
6:30am
1 serving Bomber Blend protein with cold water
7:00am
1 sm banana, cup of coffee with 2 tbls 1/2&1/2
(7:30
am workout, 1 hour weights, 25 minute cardio)
10:00am
1 sm banana, 4 oz 2% cottage cheese
1:00pm
5oz extra lean hamburger patty, sm red potato microwaved
4:00pm
2 hard boiled eggs
7:30pm
1 chicken thigh, grilled, 2 cups mixed veg salad (1c tomato, 1/2c
cucumber, 1/2c red bell pepper) with vinegar only
This
calculated out to 1,357 calories. 96 grams carbohydrates, 115 grams
protein, 57 grams fat (28%, 34%, 38% respectively). I'm not personally
too worried about the higher fat percentage, but if I was, I'd have
tuna from a can instead of hamburger for lunch. That would take
care of this instantly, but I've decided at this lowered calorie
level I'd rather be fully fueled for my extra cardio, which happens
to be MY bigger issue.
Here's
where I went to calculate Monday's nutrition plan. Might as well
spend some time here tomorrow and figure out a plan. Laree
