i try to count protein thats only in main things like milk and eggs and main courses, anything with meat in it. i dont know how well the protein in other foods work, so i just make sure i get enough.
if i eat less than about 4000 cals a day, i become very bitchy and irritable. i always get sick if i go 2 or more days without enough food.
i cut out my occasional bowl of ice cream and cookies, etc about a week ago.
this is what i had so far today:
meal 1: 3 eggs, 2 servings of bacon, 1 glass of milk, 4 pieces of toast. 2 bites of coffee cake
meal 2: 1 big hamburger, 1 pot pie, 1 glass milk
meal 3: 2 brats w/ 2 pieces bread, cheese
meal 4: 1 pot pie, 1 glass milk, 1 hunk of cheese
meal 5: 1 hamburger, cheese, 1 glass milk, 1 cup oatmeal
i usually get about 6 meals a day like this. i'll add today all up at the end and see what it comes out to, because i'm curious
