Write Down What You Eat

If your energy is low and you just don't feel like yourself, keeping track of what you're eating could help. I don't mean obsessive calorie counting, but instead making sure your body is getting enough of the nutrients it needs. I want to start doing that more often. So.. this is what I ate today. Looking at it now, it looks like a lot! I went through the calorie counts and I'm at around 1945 cals for the day. I consider myself active so that's not so bad.

Post Workout (taught morning spin class)
-1 bottle of Fresh & Easy green juice (80)

Breakfast
-1 veggie patty (120) with 1 slice pepper jack cheese (70)
-1 cup salad (10) with 1 large orange (100) and 2 tbsp vinaigrette (50)

Lunch
-1 honey greek yogurt (150) with 1 tbsp flaxseed (30)
-1 cup blueberries (80) and 12 almonds (85)
-1 cup coffee (5) with 1/3 cup soy milk (25) and 1 tbsp creamer (15)

Snack
-1 small sweet potato with cinnamon (130)
-1 apple (80)

Dinner

I definitely had enough fruit and veggies... maybe cut back on the sugar now!
