Full Day of Eating for Weight Loss 1500 Calories & 150 g Protein

FULL DAY of eating for weight loss: 1523 calories 149g protein, 156 g carbs, 38 g fat With Omelete for breakfast, bbq chicken salad for lunch, protein shake for a snack, and tacos and oranges for dinner.

This post is part of a series of weight loss journal posts as I keep myself accountable to a plan!

I mentioned a few weeks back when I couldn’t break my weight loss plateau. I felt like if I wanted to get back to 110 lbs, that my only option would be to eat 1200 calories. At 1200 calories, at least the weight loss comes up quickly enough for me to stay motivated!

But, with the holidays, and not really having a need to lose much weight, I went back to 1500 calories.

Turns out, I just had to be EVEN MORE patient! After almost an entire month at 112 lbs, I finally broke the plateau by one pound.

Although that breakthrough might not seem significant, I haven’t seen 111 since last summer. Not even after a depleting long run. This is probably the lowest I’ll try to go, until my next bikini show.

So, consistency once again pays off! I’ve been CONSISTENTLY eating 1500 calories (of real food), and tracking everything. It’s when I stop tracking that the weight comes back on. Which tells me, I’m actually eating more than 1500 when I’m not tracking, even though I tell myself that I am not. And that I really can be at my desired weight on more food now, if I’m careful.

So, for this full day of eating, I used the Winter, Clean Simple Eats cookbook. (see my full review of her meal plans here)
