Good Morning FS Warriors, I hope the fight is going well this morning! Today is my first fasting day this week and I had to go for bloodwork at 7:45 this morning, saw the most gorgeous sunrise as I drove the 25 miles to reach my Dr's office. I worked extra hard on my food intake yesterday and I added a Whey protein powder concentrate to my morning because when I was planning my meals for the day, they came out to a kind of sad 50g, so I also tossed in some sardines. So at the end of the day we had grilled salmon for dinner and it was a hefty 8 ounces and it took up so much of my plate, it bothered me that FS was showing it as only 11.03 grams of protein, which was the reason I added more protein to my earlier meals. I decided to check further and low and behold, 8 ounces of Salmon has 46g of protein....not 11.03. Salmon is something I recently added to my diet that I had never really tried in the past. I encourage all FS users to double check foods that you enter if you are using it for meal planning, because not all of the information is correct. Anyways, I got a good dose of protein yesterday 😂😂 I did a balancing act trying to get my fats and proteins to add up to 1800 calories on my eating days. I refrain from eating 12 days out of the month, I eat 16 days out of the month. If I hit 1800 calories at least on my eating days it will give me an average of 960 kcal per day for the month, which is better than this months 848 average. It seems like a lot of food to me, when I started back in June I was aiming for 2,200 for my eating days, I rarely reached that mark and when I did, I was eating past comfortably full. So bear with me while I waffle back and forth and try a protein supplement to assist with getting enough protein in. I am aiming for around 115-120 on my eating days, which is a few grams above what is suggested for a 58 year old female who stands 5'4" with an ideal weight of 140 lbs (112g), but with fasting I think a few grams over that amount won't be an issue. I may also try a few different apps for nutrition tracking, not that I don't love FS, but it could be improved. You guys have a great day! I am going to empty my head of all this food business for the next three days and enjoy my lovely fasting break from food, cooking, meal planning, dishes and checking the freezer! 😁
