11/29/11 - First Steps

Great start to the day; a pair of sunny-side up eggs, three strips of center cut bacon, two slices of light five-grain bread, and a cup of honey-flavored greek yogurt. 
Total Calories: 455

The center cut bacon is a wonderful change from the turkey bacon I normally have. It has a much higher protein to calorie ratio (nicely in that 1:10 ratio I'm hoping for), and it fries up wonderfully. The only problem is that it lets out a lot of grease into the pan. I soaked up an entire paper towel's worth and there was still plenty left to cook the eggs in. It ended up leaving the bacon considerably smaller when they finished than when they started. As a comparison, 14 g of turkey bacon is one slice, 14 g of center cut is two slices. The calories per slice is equal, however.

Standard lunch. I've had this pretty much every day for the past who-knows-how-long. I'd like to find an alternative but it's very cheap and convienient and that lets it win out for now.
Total Calories: 780 


New snacks for the day. Pistachios are great snacking food because you can't wolf them down. Same thing with the jerky, which also has tons of protein for its calories. 
Total Calories: 330 


Dinner courtesy of SPS. We had a Bad Movie Night where we watched Pitch Black, and ate pizza and drank soda. I had a couple glasses of diet coke and two slices of pepperoni pizza. 
Total Calories: 660 

My muscles all felt sore from working out yesterday, so I took it easy on the elliptical and ran a bit over three miles in 30 minutes. My pace went from 5ish mph to 7ish mph over the course of the run, and I burned 347 calories. 


 OVERALL: 1868 net calories
