Sunday Oct. 30

Daily note; Watch sodium intake, concentrate on protein and keeping calorie intake to under 1,400. I went to the gym early today and put in a pretty solid workout. The option remains to return later today. I did return to the gym for a 3/4 power workout. I hit all the muscle groups and left with plenty of energy!

5:30 am Muscle Milk Light 150 cals (425 mg sodium).
8:30 am Breakfast Burrito 300 calories (820 mg sodium)
12:30 pm Two 4 oz Turkey meatballs, 300 calories 1/4 avocado. 90 calories. (negligible sodium)
5:00 pm Trader Joe's Garlic Rice Noodle Soup 150 calories, 6 oz Pacific rock fish (broiled) 200 calories, two ounces sauteed mushrooms added to soup 40 calories.
8:00 pm 1 tbsp Jif Crunchy Peanut Butter  100 calories.

The Trader Joe's soup is a sodium trap. The little chemical pack that holds all the flavoring holds 1,340 mg of sodium. They say the little soup bowl is a serving for two but that is unrealistic. Not even an anorexic would consider the entire bowl a sufficient serving of soup. So I used about 25% of the packet and knocked the sodium down to around 350 mg. The bowl of soup w/fish and mushroom come out at 390 calories and I feel stuffed. Today was a victory overall.

1,240 calories ingested - 300 calories burned at the gym = 940 calories for the day net!

My brother Frank's Dinner tonight. This is a model meal!!
