fat intake

My Fit Day told me that I eat alot of fats...

Lots and lots of fats!

This is from late June, when I first started keeping track:

1155 avg calories a day

63 fat grams

9 carb grams

93 protein grams avg per day.

Before FitDay, I pretty much ate anything I

wanted, as long as it was not a carb.

Now, with CrossFit, I am a little more

aware of what I eat.

The large amounts of fat didn't hurt my bloodwork any.

And I love to be in ketosis!

But it might not have helped my 

plateau... in the weight -loss department.

So... along comes my trainer, who wonders what would 

happen if I ate less fat... and more carbs....?

Now the daily averages are more like this:

1,026 calories

48 fat grams

23 carbs

124 protein grams a day

I might need 100 to 130 grams of protein a day.

The 3 pounds of muscle I gained was no-doubt helped 

by the huge amounts of protein. 

But - the extra protein (unused)

is stored as.... (you know) fat

via gluconeogenisis....
Which calls forth insulin!!
Nursing School 101 stuff here.


So there's my 1 pound of fat gain!

Can't really tell anything..... yet....

2 weeks ago - and now pics -

Maybe a little less goofy.

But that fluctuates daily....

Hairs a mess... that, too!

So ya just never know.

I have also started standing up for most of the day 

whilst at work! Mainly because there aren't 

usually any chairs. Where did they go?

Chair thieves? Charity?

Chair-B-Gone?

While I am standing (up to 12 hours)

I am doing my stretches....

Calf-Raises. Balance Feet. 

Butt Work. Core Contractions.

It keeps me going, at any rate!

Hope your day is wonderful!
