So - I am generally the captain of food labels. I love them, I read them, I study them. Today (although I'm feeling 100% back to normal after a sluggish end to last week, and cramp-y beginning to this week), I misread labels TWICE!!!!
So the low-fat protein bar for 140 Calories? Yeah, decent fiber, the brand is usually pretty tasty - I'm golden. EXCEPT - it has TWO SERVINGS per bar. Yeah, so I didn't notice that until AFTER I ate it. Not nice food label people - not nice at all!
Then, after a great workout with Courtney, it's lunch time. There is a Jimmy John's right by the continental club. I get my usual (#12 - no mayo, no cheese, extra cucumbers, extra sprouts) and I decide to treat myself with a bag of jalapeno chips. Not bad 150 Calories. Ok, well, it's totally an indulgence, but I'm a little hypoglycemic and I certainly have earned a 600 Cal lunch. BUT WAIT - this bag is two servings too (2.125, actually). I had eaten nearly 2 servings before I noticed that. It's complete BS. Why dont they just say it's 10 Calories per serving but there are 25 servings? Dammit!
Not reading the labels cost me 290 calories today. That is about 35 minutes on the treadmill.
Meal #1
M-F-ing protein bar - 280 Calories
Meal #2
Good #12 - 425 Cal
Bad chips - 300
Total 725
Meal #3
Home made pizza (store bought whole wheat crust)
Crust - 1/4 pizza = 150 Cal
1/4 cup part-skim mozerella - 80
1 oz fat free feta - 30
1 pat butter - 20
onions, bell peppers, mushrooms - 30
Total 310
Snack
Strawberries - 200 Cal
Hummus - 100 Cal
Toast with low fat cheese - 100 Cal
Total - 1715
Exercise - oh baby, I'm back - so hour with Courtney, cooldown, walk/jog incline, cooldown, walk =
2145 Calories. Of course, I get home, start shoveling snow and cramp up all over, heh. My neighbor actually asked if I was ok since I was basically leaning over the shovel. Who knew that you use abs while shoveling?!?
