My Chef By Request: Day 1

3
Jul

First day of My Chef By Request (MCBR). As far as taste, it was very good, everything was very tasty!! My favorite was the sauteed mushrooms for dinner..yumm!  As I mentioned yesterday though, I truly don’t think that the food added up to the carbs and calories that they said. I was wondering if I could get through the whole day ONLY eating the MCBR + protein shake and I thought so, but after I took Monkey Conditioning class and I was considering how much food was left…I decided to go to Whole Foods and grab a salad and a zero cal Bragg’s apple cidar vinegar water to supplement my day’s eats.

a pinch of this, a pinch of that!!! -->kale, shrimp, tofu, turkey, chicken, tuna, hard boiled egg, kidney beans, edamame, celery, spinach, broccoli, jalapenos, red cabbage, onion, olive oil and vinegar

Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar "All-Natural Drink" - Ginger Spice Flavor, zero cal...very refreshing...

I feel justified in this act not only because I doubt the verity of MCBR’s total calorie claim (echoed by fellow trainers with sharp eyes for estimating cals/macros), but also because I probably burned over 850 calories today in exercise alone (what I call FUN TIMES [delightedly worked out solo in the morn to my heart's content mixing it up w/ kettlebells, tire flipping and sledgehammer work, and in the afternoon went to Monkey Conditioning class, which today was a mix of bodyweight exercises, gymnastics, parkour, and aerial conditioning]).

Today’s estimated macros:

Protein Shake:           50 g P, 0 g C, 2 g F = 218 cal
MCBR:                         90 g P, 70 g C, 32 g F =  928 cal
Whole Foods salad:  25 g P, 11 g C, 15 g F =  279 cal

Total:                           165 g P, 81 g C, 49 g F = 1425 cal

Tomorrow we’ll see how it goes! Again, I have received the food for tomorrow and the amount looks quite scant! I will for sure supplement with a protein shake, but besides that we shall see! So the experiment continues…

    Ahhh I would probably be sneaking into the oatmeal container or PB! LOL. You definitely needed that extra cals with that calorie burn! I wish that we had cool classes like those over here.. you need to come bring your training down to albuquerque!

    Oh, and I love that drink! Too bad it’s like 3 bucks or I’d be getting it everyday!
