Yesterday 07/01/2009

Breakfast:
Zucchini in cheese sauce (56 calories/5 carbs) and half of a grapefruit (52 calories/13 carbs).

10am Snack:

For my morning snack I had sliced cucumber (6cal/0 carbs).

Lunch:

For lunch I packed a salmon and relish sandwich on honey wheat bread and had 5 baby carrots to have with it (total lunch: 350 cal/38carb). I curbed my chocolate craving by having 15 dark chocolate chips. So delicious and worth the 70 cal/9 carbs! Dark chocolate is also great because it is full of antioxidants and can even lower your blood pressure.

3pm Snack:

Then as my afternoon snack I had a banana (90cal/23carb), and a handful of nuts including walnuts (full of Omega 3), almonds (vitamin E & B12), and a personal fav macadamia nuts (palmitoleic acid or Omega 7). Nuts are a great snack because it doesn’t take much to make you feel full and they are all great sources of fiber, also for a handful its only 50 calories and 2 carbs.

Dinner:

For dinner I had grilled skinless chicken breast (150 cal/0 carbs), red potatoes (119cal/17 carbs), and sliced avocado (83 cal/4 carbs) . Protein in a diet is really important in helping build muscle. The red potatoes are a great source of fiber, potassium, and vitamin C. Then a favorite is avocado. It is full of vitamin E and has a variety of other healthy benefits.

I also take a multi-vitamin, Vitamin D3, Flax Seed Oil, and Omega Fish oil daily. I’m currently taking a ginseng multi-vitamin complex to help thicken my hair. It is working so I’m very happy with my results! I’ve always had baby fine hair. Vitamins are really an important part of a person’s diet and staying healthy.

Last but not least to make my day complete I jogged for 15 minutes, cardio boxing for 40 minutes, and then relaxed by completing my workout with a 10 minute yoga session. It was a GREAT workout and I burned an estimated 837 calories! That feels GREAT! Not to mention after having some chamomile tea (not sweetened) I slept like a baby. Exercising is GREAT for helping me sleep.

As you can probably guess I am studying nutrition. I’m such a nerd! :P
