I lost 0.81% this week for a total percentage of 4.21%. It's not as much as I'd hoped, but I will take what I can get. By using My Fitness Pal, I have noticed how many carbs I have each day. I am trying to lower my percentage on that.
I have been focusing on protein for a long time, so the only new thing I tried this week was a different kind of yogurt. Smith's has a Carbmaster Kroger yogurt. The container only has 4 carbs and 9 grams of protein. I usually have Yoplait yogurt, which typically has 19 carbs and only 5 grams of protein! Looks like I will be eating Kroger! I had the carrot cake flavor, and it was yummy! I always sprinkle some low-fat granola in my yogurt because it makes it seem more like a treat. I need to look up some new protein meals to mix things up.
I typically have about 30% protein daily (a minimum of 100 grams). For daily protein, I usually eat eggs every morning, a protein bar (Dr. CarbRite-net carbs of 2 grams!) or protein shake (Dymatize chocolate mint-also only 2 carbs), yogurt, turkey sandwich on sandwich flats (to lower the # carbs), string cheese, edamame (if you haven't tried edamame yet, it is worth a try - I don't think it's the best thing ever, but it is a great way to add protein and fiber to your diet. Sprinkle some seasoned salt, chili powder, or sea salt for flavor.), and some type of protein for dinner (grilled chicken, extra lean ground beef, etc.).
My goal for next week is to lose at least 1%. I ran 1.75 miles this week.
