Lost Is a Repeat, :-(

2/22/2006

Quite proud of myself this a.m. Got up early and hit the gym before work

bike: -240 kcal

Breakfast: half bagel + lite cc = 110 + 30 = 140 kcal

Lunch: Bread + Yogurt Dip + Rice Dish + Small Piece of Chocolate = 200 + 200 + 400 + 100 = 900 kcal

Snack: Corn Dog + Ketchup = 240 + 40 = 280 kcal



Running Total: 1040 + 280 = 1320 kcal

now that leaves me ~ 5-600 kcals for the rest of the evening. Just on a lark I thought I'd adhere to the don't deny yourself mantra and see if this could be accomplished at the local KFC.

This is what I used to eat at one sitting:

4 piece crispy combo (That's half a whole chicken folks!) = 1180 kcal

2 Corn on the Cob + Butter = 300 + 240 = 540

4 Biscuits + Butter + Honey = 4 (190) + 100 + 175 = 1035

1 large Coleslaw = Assuming four individuals in one = 760 kcal

For a grand total for ONE meal = 1180 + 540 + 1035 + 760 = 3515 kcal WOW!

ok so lets modify

Cut everything in half we have ~1750 kcal

so 2 piece chicken, 1 corn on the cob & butter, 2 biscuits & b&h, 2 indiv slaws

now take off some butter, one pat from the corn

-60 kcal

now take off one biscuit & b&h

-225 kcal

only one coleslaw

-190 kcal

Total deductions off of the half: 60 + 225 + 190 = -475 kcal

Now our meal is = 1750 - 475 = 1275 kcal

OK still have to cut ~ 500 kcal

Let's try to build from the ground up:

2 piece chicken -> 2 drumsticks = 280 kcal (instead of other combinations)

coleslaw = 190 kcal

corn + small butter = 150 + 30 = 180 kcal

KFC Total = 280 + 190 + 180 = 650 kcal

Oops forgot about the snack:

Snack: Carrot + Light Ranch Dip = 180 kcal

That Means we have ~200 kcal less to work with :-(

With the forgotten snack and the KFC meal, the daily total would be = 2150 kcal

Close but no cigar,

I'll do the frozen stuff instead.

He who fights and runs away,
lives to fight another day...

One Frozen Sailsbury Steak Dinner = 210 kcal

Popcorn = 260 kcal

Pretzel = 110 kcal

Grand Total = 1320 + 180 + 210 + 260 + 110 = 2080 kcal

890 + 80 = +970 kcal
