Protein

-.5 (not as good as I had hoped considering I ran, but I was really hydrated, which probably explains it)

I found this website on how to know how much protein to eat every day.

The calculation is: weight in KG x .8 - 1.8 (depending on activity level) = protein needed in grams. 2.2 lb = 1KG

Apparently, the body can't store protein very well and it needs it all the time. If you eat to much you pee it out, if you don't eat enough your body breaks down your muscles.

105 is my goal weight which is 47.8kg x .8 (even though I'm not sedentary, I'm trying to burn off fat and muscle) = 38g of protein a day.

I plugged everything I ate yesterday into Daily Plate and not only was I right under my 1000 target (didn't include my 3 mile run), but I was at 37g of protein! Even if their measurements aren't 100% accurate, I am still way under what I need for this weight and should be shaving off these thighs in no time.

Just to be sure I think that I will stop eating egg beaters and beans on the same days. Yesterday I had egg beaters for breakfast and chili for lunch. Today I missed breakfast because I slept in - late shift at work - I had beans and rice for lunch, and I'm hoping I can skip dinner. I have a bunch of fresh fruit in my lunch bag for work, and some diet soda.

I think I can keep to about 800 calories (since I'm not running today) if my boyfriend doesn't make me dinner or want to go out. He has class on saturdays though, so I'm thinking he might want to stay in. If I don't call him until after he usually eats... I should be good to go. Crossing my fingers.
