daily plate

So in an effort to lose 15 pounds in 8 weeks, I think I am going to try to document what I eat each day here.  I already keep a food journal, but I think if I am able to look back on what I ate and how much of what I ate, I will be able to tell if I need to make changes.

Nic and I already eat healthy, for the most part.  In the past 4ish months, I would say we eat really healthy, incorporating vegetables in more meals than just our morning smoothies.  Now, veggies consist of the largest part of our diet (I would guess).  So I don't think I need to change what I eat (except for my few bad days) but really look at my portion size and eat less.

And, by documenting what I eat here, you have free reign to call me out and tell me I am a fatty.  Do it, I need to hear it!

My pre-workout snack - baked banana oatmeal with a smear of natural peanut butter.  (186 calories, 6.5g protein - best guess)

Morning snack - "green monster" (purple today).
1 1/2 cups spinach
3 ounces vanilla honey yogurt
1/2 frozen banana
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 scoop protein powder
(260 calories, 19g protein)

Lunch - scrambled eggs with veggies (222 calories, 19.25g protein)

Afternoon snack - Greek yogurt with homemade granola (150 calories, 12g protein)

Dinner - Subway!  On the road...6 inch turkey sub with pepper jack cheese, and veggies...

and, whoops!  See that in the background?  I caved and got Dr. Pepper and Doritos.  Gross.
(total meal about 730 calories and 21g protein).

Total daily calories - 1548
Total daily protein - 78

I am not going to keep counting calories, but since I have been hovering around my current weight for a while now, I decided that I probably should count calories for a few weeks just to see what my intake is.
