Eat With Me: 4/27/10

I'm going to try to be a bit more transparent when it comes to where I get my calorie budget from and how I'm burning calories during my workout.  It is a bit tedious, but hopefully will answer more questions than it creates.

Calorie Budget:

   1,982 BMR calories

 - 500 (trying to lose 1 lb.)

+ 468 (workout calories)

---------------------------------

1,950 -- grand total

Workout:

5 minutes warm up on recumbent bike

45 minutes of weight lifting (chest, triceps, plyo)

25 minutes stationary bike using HIIT

Let's eat!

I had 6 kids at my house today.  I barely had time to think, let alone eat!  So, I grabbed some food and kept changing diapers, getting kids' fed, homework done, piano practiced.  Whew!  

BTW - Could you just eat up that red curly hair?  Oh my.  

6:00 PM

Dinner:

Turkey, Ham, and Cheese Stromboli

(find recipe here)

1/2 cup marinara sauce (I like Classico Tomato Basil)

2 cups of freshly cut pineapple (my knees are weak just thinking about this)

I had planned to add more food to this meal in the form of a salad or something.  But, I got so carried away with the Stromboli that I ran out of time.  Luckily, I cook for a very easy crowd!

1 cup of skim milk

Under by 241 calories.  Good night!
