A very off balance day for me yesterday, and I don’t quite know how it happened. I didn’t sleep very well and I woke up feeling very stiff and sore from my interval run the day before and generally depressed and unmotivated. I decided to do my weight routine anyways, but skipped the half hour of cycling or swimming that normally goes with it. It did help me feel better, but then I was craving sweets afterwards, despite only burning about 250 calories, so had some toast and lemon curd. Lunch was leftover stir fry as planned, with a yoghurt to try and add some protein, and I had a protein snack bar in the afternoon for the same reason.
Despite this, I got to 5pm and my food diary showed I’d had about 1400 calories but over 60% were from carbohydrates and only 17% from fat. So when we went out for dinner that evening, so I skipped the appetiser and ordered a big meaty rack of ribs, thinking protein and fat. Well you can find nutritional information on Tony Roma’s meals online and it turns out the sweet barbeque sauce adds over 60g of carbohydrates! The baked beans I had on the side for extra protein had the same problem. OK, I know the two sweet cocktails didn’t help, but still!
I suspect my being so tired contributed to my cravings for sweets (and alcohol) so with any luck a good night’s sleep with sort me out!
