Day 1 of 2000 calorie morining weight was 195.6 and LDW(last drops weight) was 196.8
I am at snack time and I forgot to add the coconut oil to my shake. Oops! I feel very full
already. If you do the shake, only add 1 cup water as it really bulks up in the
mixer. I did 1 1/2 and it is too much. I think I also over blended as it is very
frothy. I think it is okay that I missed the coconut oil as I think I have too
much for this day. I am still learning here so I'm not exactly certain on the
portions for each group. Think I'll do a pie chart (mmmmm pie....) and see what
my percentages are for calories from each group. I have read that my calories
from proteins should be more than my calories from fats/oils. Veggies are so low
(for the most part) in calories that I think I'll keep tossing them whenever I
can to take advantage of their fiber and all those other important nutrients. It
is amazing to me how much veggies we can eat! If we had to fill our calorie
quota from veggies alone, I couldn't do it.
The almond milk this morning was
good. I highly recommend using a cheese cloth to strain it though, because it
took a while to do it with my strainers. Next time I will use plain stevia and
some real vanilla extract. Also, I am drying out the pulp in the oven to see how
it turns out as a flour. Not sure what I'll use it for, maybe pancakes!! Almond
milk, almond flour, baking powder (can't see why this wouldn't be allowed but
I'll double check) eggs, salt, vanilla, bit of stevia....mash up some
strawberries as a 'jam'....that should work well!! I'll let you know how I do.
I'll update today and let you know the total calories later.
