Fritzy 22's Journal, 15 May 24

Still trying to figure out my lower carbs than protein diet. The fatigue was gone yesterday and I feel fine this morning. I seem to be having much more food but lower calories. My food diary, when following my WOE previously was usually 1000 or fewer calories a day. It's been similar in the past week. I always assume calories are probably higher by about 200-300 calories. Unless I am eating only things I weigh and measure and prepare myself I am not sure of the accuracy of the food journal. For example, I baked 8 ounces of chicken breast yesterday. I weighed it and divided in half for 2 meals. But I forgot that I had added a tablespoon, maybe 2 of ginger soy salad dressing. And when I put one tablespoon of cream cheese on 1/4 bagel I don't measure the cream cheese. Not much fits on 1/4 bagel. Now that I think about it I think I put more on the bagel this morning to finish the tub of cream cheese. I keep trying to work in the beer battered cod I bought at Costco but it always seems to make carbs too high for the day. And I don't want the house to smell like fish in case someone looks at the house. Yesterday I had coffee for breakfast and 1/4 bagel PLUS the yogurt with sliced almonds. Much more than I usually eat in the morning. I cooked the chicken in the morning and ate 4 ounces around 10am. Then I had to leave when someone came to look at the house. Around 2pm I slice 3 ounces of avocado, a roma tomato, and added 3 large strawberries, thanks Katsolo for the avocado and tomato idea. I was really full after that. I had the rest of the chicken around 4. No IF yesterday since I ate for a longer period of time maybe 5:30 to 4:30. Today I will do more weed wacking since my lawn care service appears to have given up on me. Maybe take Bobby for a walk before it gets too warm. He was happy this morning when I added the yolk of a hard boiled egg to his food dish. Doctor told me to just eat egg whites or limit amount of whole eggs to just a couple a week. Sometimes I listen to him.
