I initially planned to post what I ate every day when I started blogging again, but it slipped my mind. These are the two days I missed posting for June 29th and June 30th.

As far as my game plan, I want to focus on keeping calories at around 2500. This seems to be a happy medium for me. I have the satisfaction of eating enough so I don’t feel like I am depriving myself and the calories are low enough to have substantial weight loss while losing minimal muscle mass. In a perfect world, I would aim for a 40% carbohydrate, 40% protein and 20% fat macro nutrient breakdown. As I mentioned in a previous post about the 40-40-20, most people use it to cut fat (which is my goal) as opposed to building muscle. I ate more lunch meat than I normally would, but the smoked turkey deli meat is too good to pass up for the price and convenience. Two pieces of wheat bread, a little mustard, slap on some turkey and I am good to go.

My eating needs to be fine tuned so I have more energy throughout the day. I wake up at 7am for work and usually do not get to the gym until 10pm. I plan to go shopping tonight at Publix and load up on some quality food, especially for snacking purposes. I ordered Peeled Snacks Go-Mango-Man-Go, 1.40-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 10) a few weeks ago and they are amazing. A friend of mine recommended them after he purchased some in Hawaii and bragged how delicious they were. If Publix does not carry them, I will need to order them online again. They give a nice little boost during a busy day and do not make a mess. I’ll try to pickup some nectarines, bananas and pears as well.
