Full Day of Weight Loss: 1500 Calories and 150g Protein

This post is part a series of weight-loss journal posts. I am keeping myself accountable to a plan!

FULL DAY of eating 1523 calorie, 149g protein and 156 g carbohydrates, 38 g fat. Omelete is available for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I mentioned a few weeks back when I couldn’t break my weight loss plateau. I felt like I had no other option than to eat 1200 calories if I wanted back to 110 lbs. I can lose weight with 1200 calories. That’s enough to keep me motivated!

I ate 1500 calories again because of the holidays.

Turns out, I just needed to be patient even more! I finally broke the plateau after almost a month at 112 pounds.

Although that breakthrough might not seem significant, I haven’t seen 111 since last summer. Not even after a depleting long run. This is probably the lowest I’ll try to go, until my next bikini show.

It’s clear that consistency pays off again! I’ve been CONSISTENTLY eating 1500 calories (of real food), and tracking everything. It’s when I stop tracking that the weight comes back on. Which tells me, I’m actually eating more than 1500 when I’m not tracking, even though I tell myself that I am. And that I really can be at my desired weight on more food now, if I’m careful.

For this whole day of eating, I used the Winter, Clean Simple Eats cookbook.(See my complete review of her meal plan here)
