JCK's Five-Week Food Diary - Fall 2002

Day Five

5:30 a.m. Ate 1/2 a Zone bar.

6-7:00 a.m. Drank a 12 oz. bottle of water before hitting the trail.

Another beautiful morning in paradise. I love the opportunity to get off our regular track. The view of the bridge heading out and the downtown skyline upon return are something to behold. I keep those morning snapshots in my head all day long.

7:15 a.m. Decaf Peet's latte. I need the soothing hot milk to calm my nerves. Expecting a rough day ahead.

7:45 a.m. Breakfast: 1 cup of slow-cooked Quaker Oats oatmeal, 1/2 cup of milk.

9:30 a.m. Morning Snack: Chocolate Mint Zone bar

12:30 p.m. Lunch: Dim Sum and water...only

2:30 p.m. Afternoon Snack: A cold glass of Diet Pepsi. Our Board meeting is getting heated. What I'd really love right now is a beer.

4:00 p.m. Afternoon Snack: A handful of gorp (1/4 cup)

6:00 p.m. Dinner: Three pieces of thin crust Extreme Pizza. A huge bottle of Pellegrino.

Comments: I survived the day!!

Day Five

Pre-Workout Snack
Great.

Breakfast

Where's the protein?!

Morning Snack
Perfect.

Lunch
Need some extra protein at lunch -- maybe some chicken or turkey.

Afternoon Snack
Need to integrate some protein.

Dinner
Here's a wakeup call for those of us who love pizza: it's easy to go wrong.. One thin crust pepperoni slice (1/8 of a 12" pizza) has 17g of carbs, 9g of protein and 8g of fat. This means that, in eating three slices of pizza, Jennifer had 51g of carbs, 27g of protein and 24g of fat!

Remember that a carb block is 9 g of carbs, a protein block is 7 g of protein and a fat block is 3 g of fat. Jennifer should have had a 3 block dinner, instead she had: almost 6 blocks of carbs, almost 4 blocks of protein and 8 blocks of fat.

At least she didn't chase it down with two or three beers.

You should definitely think of pizza as a "splurge" food.

Evening Snack
No snack. Remember, even a small snack helps keep you in the "Zone" overnight.

Overall Comments
Chalk up as the day as learning experience and look forward to getting back into the "Zone" tomorrow.
