The Advanced Mediterranean Diet (AMD) Day 19

June 20th, 2008 · 3 Comments

jun-01-2008_08561.jpg Weight today: 191.0

I wanted to use the slam dunk picture again. This place we went was a blast! (Wiibounce in Cary, NC). It is awesome for a kid’s b-day party!

Today I have eaten:

  • oatmeal (200 calories and 2 grains)
  • Coffee
  • Diet soda

I took it easy early as I am supposed to go to the Mexican place for lunch with friends. Obvioulsy Mexican does not equal Mediterranean so I will do my best to focus on the calorie number and focus on the components such as grains, proteins, veggies, etc. We’ll see how I do.

Well, Lunch consisted of

  • 1 taco (beef) (I am counting as one protein and one grain) - best guess 300 calories
  • 1 enchilada (beef) (I am counting as my second protein and second grain) - best guess 300 calories
  • Nacho chips and salsa (I am counting as a veggie and a grain) - best guess 100 calories
  • refried beans (Counting as a fat) - best guess 200 calories

That puts me at 1100 calories for the first part of the day. Pretty much on par with a regular day. I am not sure what I will do for dinner. Where I am deficient is fruits and dairy today. I don’t really fancy fruit and milk tonight. I will see what I can cobble together. I should be able to stick to the 1900 calories ok. I am concerned about the selection of categories. We’ll see how I do. 

Evening update

Okay - recovering pretty well from the non-AMD lunch. Dinner was like this:

  • non fat vanilla yogurt (~100 calories) my dairy
  • banana (80 calories) 1 of 4 fruits
  • steak 5 oz - 300 calories
  • vegetarian chili (all 3 of my veggies) 250 calories

So, I am at around 1820. I have about 80 left and unfortunately, I am short on fruit. My snacks tonight will be all fruit, and I may go over by 80-100 based on fruit. We’ll see. I will try and keep it close to 1900 or 1980 calories. I did my weight training today as well. Of course if things get really dicey I could munch on some celery as well. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Well, my night consisted of a single banana so I am right at 1900. I am a little short on fruit for the day, but I will opt to stick to my calorie numbers.

Talk to you later!
