I saw a fellow MFPer doing this and now I want input too! This past week has been my best and most consistent eating in a long, long time. I feel good, I'm back to running, started lifting and my sugar cravings are down considerably. I stopped eating french fries, chips, cake, Panda Express, and a lot of other crap. I already gave up caffeine, soda, and coffee for Lent.

I think it would still be fun to get some input on my diary though! And yes, I love love love Ovaltine and Trumoo after a workout so be prepared to see a lot of that :D

    Not too bad, juts a couple of suggestions:

    - try to get closer to your calorie goal
    - up your fats (they are important for healthy body functions and hormones)
    - maybe try to get a few more veggies in
    - protein looks a little light (not terribly so).
    - Occasionally fiber is low (the veggies will help with this)

    What's a good recommendation for increasing fats?

    I love veggies and stock up on green beans and baby carrots-could easily up my can of green beans to two a day-I love it :D

    Almonds, avocado, peanut butter, fall fat dairy, olive oil, eggs with the yolks

    Looks good. But if you are lifting, you might want to up your protein intake.

    Wait... are you vegetarian? It might be difficult to raise your protein intake if you are avoiding meat.

    Also, I'm kind of sensitive to water retention so I track sodium and potassium. You might consider it.
