Food Journal (28 March - 3 April)
For the past week, I’ve been following a modified version of the ‘Healthy Skinny Girl Kid Diet,’ which has no strict restrictions on what you ought to eat but does guide how many calories you should consume. I think that calories from fruits and vegetables aren’t supposed to count toward daily totals, but I counted them anyway, or I would have likely been eating six pears a day and ‘not counting’ hundreds of calories, etc.
I was slightly under the recommended count some days and slightly over on others, but I think I did fairly all right for Week 1, apart from being very carb-heavy and protein-light some days. (Not ideal for muscle-nourishment or for fat-loss.) So, that’s a goal for next week.
Roll on, Week 2.
Weekly Total = 6,585 calories
Daily Average = 941 calories/day
