Tax day macros and calories

Had a Coke Zero-freebie! Drank a 32 ounce Powerade Zero with about 8 packets of True Lemon - also a freebie! Drank a 20 ounce coffee with two little cups of half and half. Drank a bit less than a quart of unsweetened vanilla flavored coconut milk beverage. Also managed to drink some actual water.

Food was a 1.5 ounce pack of pork rinds, a 5 ounce summer sausage, and 7 ounces of Walmart pastrami.

Now for the calories and macros: Estimated calories were around 1100. Got around 90 grams of protein, so I met that goal, even if 24 of those were low-grade pork rind protein. 13 carb grams is 52 calories. So, 688 calories from fat, or 76 grams. I don't know how sustainable 1100 calories a day is. I'm not feeling hungry today because I made a huge pig of myself at a casino buffer yesterday. But it would be all kinds of awesome if I could keep this up. There is still lots of room to cut carbs with better protein sources.

Late brunch

Had a bag of frozen Brussels sprouts that you steam up in the microwave. They're already seasoned and everything. Had a packet of shrimp flavored Ramen noodles as well. Way more carbs than I should be eating, but only about 750 calories. Some protein and greens for supper is the plan.

New year, new blogging

Long time, no see. Doing a bit of intermittent fasting today. Didn't eat for about 24 hours, then had a big meal about 4 pm today. It consisted of a can of mustard greens (with apple cider vinegar, of course), a 7 ounce jar of olives, a 5 ounce can of yellowtail tuna in olive oil, and chia/hemp seed gruel. Total calories today: 1040. Protein was about 42 grams, net carbs were about 6. In the future, I'd like to shoot for around 1200-1500 calories per day, but I ate like a pig yesterday. Had some cravings for junk today, but managed not to give in. Here's hoping I can do the same tomorrow.
