Day 9: Snack + Meal 2!

Before Pure Cardio, I wasn't hungry at all.  It must have been the excess of calories I had consumed from the day before.  Noodles then Chick-Fil-A!  A little too much.

Right after Pure Cardio, I was starving.

So I hopped outside and grabbed some figs!  Sorry no photo... but I keep eating them, so you might get tired of fig photos ^^;

Snack:  4 figs

Food:  4 figs (84 kcal)

Calories:  84 kcal

Yum.  I had to take a shower because I was sweating so much.

Insanity makes you sweat.  Serious sweat.  Thank goodness for dry-fit clothing.  I don't know what I'd do without it!  I meant to make a post about showers... but I'll do that tomorrow since I put off this entry until 1:05a... oops.

I went to the supermarket earlier in the day and this soup was on sale!  I have been craving chowder, so perfect!  Here's the next mini-meal!

Lunch:  Campbell's Chunky New England Clam Chowder with some fresh ground pepper

Food:  1 cup clam chowder (230 kcal), pepper (2 kcal?)

Calories so far:  316 kcal

Delicious... high in fat though... but today was a pretty good day for eating.

P.S. Remember how I mentioned earlier to always read the label to check your calories and servings?  I only ate 1/2 the contents of the can.  Because 1 can = 2 servings!  Don't be fooled!  That means, if you ate the entire can, you'd have eaten 460 kcal and 40% of your daily fat %age.

Always read your labels!  I should have a label tutorial here....

Yum!  My beloved mango!  You can't have the mango!  I ate all of you.

Snack:  1 full mango

Food:  Mango (32 kcal)

Calories so far:  348 kcal

I love mangos!  Healthy and satisfying and delicious!!!

Bro and I always wonder how is it that this food is so tasty, yet still healthy?  Lucky us for loving mangos!

Day 3: 2nd Lunch

Some people think it's funny when I say "1st lunch" or "1st dinner"... but it's true!  Normally I eat about 4-5 small meals a day.  If you've noticed, I usually intake about 300-400 calories per meal.  Unless I go out of my home, then my meals are a little limited.

Today's 2nd lunch is... left-overs!

2nd Lunch:  Check last night's dinner.  Eaten about 10 minutes post work-out

Food:  1/3 canned Sanma (70 kcal), 1/2 cup steam rice (100 kcal), and 2 tbsp pickled radish (6 kcal?)

Calories:  176 calories

After that, I sliced up the 2nd half of a watermelon sitting in the fridge and... ta dah!

LOVE LOVE LOVE watermelon!

This one is perfect too.  So sweet, but not soft.  We killed the other half and I've been meaning to cut this up... so after I finished eating 2nd lunch... bam!

Yum.  Ate 2 pieces of this.

Calories:  ~46 kcal

Then I saw this drink in the supermarket.  I love it. It tastes delicious.  Plus it's acai!

Sambazon Organic Acai drink "Supergreens" type.  Yum.  They trick you though!

Always read the labels.  I can't stress enough:

Number of servings:  1.3
Calories per serving:  140 kcal

So if you don't read the "number of servings part"... you don't realize you just ingested an extra 47 kcal!  Don't be fooled!

So total calories is actually 187 kcal for bottle.


I drank almost the entire thing.  Saved maybe 1/3 left... so let's say that I drank only 150 kcal for that.

Total calories this meal was:  372 kcal

See?  300-400 calorie range.

I am not a big calorie counter actually, but I thought if I blogged about meals, then I might as well post about them as well.  I usually only eat to before full, and eat pretty slowly (unless it's shaved ice).  I do think reading labels is very important.  Maybe I'll make a post about that next week.


Now it's time for a shower!
