Week 1: -3 Total 3

I had very little cravings this week. I stayed pretty lowcarb. But I did have some nuts last night. My fbg was about 108 mid week, but the cashews bumped me back up.

fbg 144 --> 124
weight 234 --> 231
exercise 1 weight training, 8 hrs gardening.

I entered 3 days of food into Fitday and here are the averages.

Avg Calories 1365

grams cals %total
Fat: 86 776 58%

Protein: 114 457 34%

I went into crunch mode at work and worked late instead of exercising Tue-Fri. I need to manage my time better.

Now that I'm not having cravings and feel more in contol, I will reduce my protein amounts by a couple of ounces.
