First Day!

So today the whole family started Protein Power. Here are our current stats (except for Claire, we're not going to track her):

  • Wayne
    • Current Weight: 257 lbs (BMI=34.9)
    • Goal Weight: ??? It should be about 180, but he just says "38-inch waist!
    • Height: 6' <-- I don't expect that to change, but just to see it vs. the weight!
    • Current minimum protein requirement: 46
  • Chrissy
    • Current Weight: 191.2 lbs (BMI=35)
    • Goal Weight: 130 lbs (BMI=23.8)
    • Height: 5'2"
    • Current minimum protein requirement: 40
I'll do measurements for waist, hips, etc... tomorrow (for me). Wayne doesn't want to do those, but I'll try to convince him to do it on Thursday.

We are shooting for 7-10 ECC for each meal and snack, which should give us 30-40 ECC per day. Today I had:
  • 33 carbs - 12 fiber = 21 ECC
  • 110 protein
  • 106 fat
  • 1509 calories
  • 30% protein, 64% fat, 6% carbs
I was going to put everything we ate in here, but it will probably become way too much of a pain :-) So I'm going to try to keep track of my menu in my FitDay account. Wayne eats about the same thing, but somewhat larger portions (his protein requirement is higher) and he may eat more snacks. I'm hoping he'll eat just what we pack for him for work tomorrow, but considering his line of work that may not happen.
