As I have mentioned before, I struggle with keep my nutrition in check. I am still using www.myfitnesspal.com to track my intake. I did not track every day last week. I have to track every day if I am going to have the info I need to make adjustments.
I am trying to stay away from breads, rice, a.k.a. Atkins in a way. I am also keeping up with calories as a backup for going over my carbs for the day.
Atkins wants me to stick with 30 grams of carbs a day or less. This is not going to work while I am trying to keep up with a 10K training program. But I am going to monitor my carb intake along with my calories and make comparisons along the way in how I feel and perform from day to day and week to week.
Sunday (10/13) -
Monday (10/14) - 1450 cals - 165 carbs - 24 fiber = 141carbs
Tuesday (10/15) - 1700 cals - 172 carbs - 39 fiber = 133 carbs
Wednesday (10/16) - did not track
Thursday (10/17) - did not track
Friday (10/18) - did not track
Saturday (10/19) -did not track
Sunday (10/20) - tracking in progress for today
My goal this coming week is to track every day. FitnessPal says I should stick with 1400 cals/day to lose weight. I will try to stay close to this level even though I won't be weighing in. The scale and I are enemies so I am not making this journey about weight loss. I will also be trying to avoid bread, rice, etc in efforts to reduce my carb intake. Again, the Atkins goal is 30 grams or less each day. I will monitor and make notes on how it is affecting me and my training.
