I tracked my calories for the last week, just to test how things have been going:
- Sat 15 Jan: 5399 cal, 269 protein, 547g carbs, 246g fat (Ultimate cheat day!)
- Sun 16 Jan: 2109 cal, 225g protein, 122g carbs, 84g fat (not enough legumes)
- Mon 17 Jan: 2053 cal, 179g protein, 194g carbs, 72g fat (just about right I think)
- Tue 18 Jan: 1985 cal, 191g protein, 179g carbs, 68g fat (think I got today spot on)
- Wed 19 Jan: 2268 cal, 208g protein, 87g carbs, 123g fat (not enough legumes I think)
- Thu 20 Jan: 2572 cal, 245g protein, 205g carbs, 104g fat (almond binge)
- Fri 21 Jan: 2128 cal, 240g protein, 82g carbs, 93g fat (too much protein, lack of legumes)
Average: 2645 cal, 222g protein, 202g carbs, 113g fat
So overall I am just about on course - my trainer wants me getting in around 2700 calories a day so I am averaging that fine at the minute. I am definitely getting enough protein and carbs over the course of the week. Fat should be a bit lower - this is due to high peanut butter and almond intake, which I need to cut back on.
But so far I think on balance, everything is working well. We will see what the results say tomorrow morning at my weigh in.
