Egg and cheese bagel sandwich (230+70+100=400)
Sardines in mustard sauce with crackers and an apple (140+200+100=440)
Home-mixed yogurt (100+50=150)
2 string cheese (2*60=120)
Milk (150)
Thai boxed dinner with added broccoli and tofu (310+100+50+130=590)
Gel dessert (20)
400+440+150+150+120+590+20=1870
On a more global scale, over the last 9 days I have averaged 1836 calories/day.
I also went for a street jog (as opposed to a treadmill or track jog) of 1.1 miles.
I was reading and found that bodybuilders (who need minimal fat and maximal muscle) do a "zigzag" diet where they eat low calorie for a few days, then take a high calorie day or two to rev metabolism back up, while maintaining a deficit on average. So perhaps my 2470 day was not so bad. My guideline for low-calorie days has essentially been, always under 2000, and under 1800 if it works. So I think maybe on Sundays generally I will allow a splurge day where I go over 2000, but not over 2500.
