Angela's Food Log: June 23rd, 2010

Was woken up in the early morning by a horrible calf cramp! This seems to happen when I go sufficiently low-carb and work out. I have seen posts by other people on LC diets complaining about muscle cramps. We'll see if the cramps continue--I am not sure what to do about them.

Today has me seriously considering if I should dump the coffee and cream habit--mostly because of the amount of dairy it causes me to ingest. I have heard many many people say that dairy stalled out their progress on weight loss, and even though I am not trying to "lose weight" (i.e. make the scale go down), I wonder if it is interfering in my body's ability to use stored fat as fuel. Also, I have a sneaking suspicion that the dairy might be responsible for my skin problems :(


Food for today:

• 3 (?) handfuls trail mix
• 1 grande *$s coffee with 1/4 C cream
• 2C beef guacamole left over from last night
• banana
• 2 handfuls trail mix
• 2 shot americano with 1/4 C cream
  
• 2T almond butter and 1T coconut oil upon getting home from work
• half a large pork sausage (getting tired of sausage)
• 1 small glass Merlot
• 3/4C baked & refried red potatoes with 3/4 C hamburger
