The Macros Love Me

Wow, this was a good idea.

Eating more fat has made me a much happier person. I also wind up staying full longer.

I've been eating Fluffbutter (the Vanilla Maple Frosting) flavor non-stop. I spread it on cinnamon-raisin bagels. (Possibly gross TMI- I am messing with different types of fibers to see how they effect my belly.)

Anyway, yesterday, I ate a bagel and Fluffbutter yum for brunch after the gym (I tried a fasted workout: I will definitely do it again when I don't have to work in the morning). I made cupcakes, taste-tested one of them and some of the frosting. Possibly a lot of the frosting. I had some vino, and then for dinner, I ate a caprese salad. Then I went to the gym again, and worked out pretty well, resulting in me burning too many calories. I rushed home and ate a tortilla with lettuce, tomatoes, Babybel, Veganaise, and Habanero mustard. Caloric target: reached.

MyFitnessPal sometimes confuses me. I'll have to talk to Mariah, my new swolemate, about my macros and etc. It's almost time for me to shift again. This time, I think I'm going to bump up my protein a bit when I reduce the carbs. I've been having trouble with the carbs, actually. I get them mostly from veggies, but I also eat some bread things. Yesterday I was short on carbs by 46. (Note that the failure of the numbers to add up was due to alcohol, the 4th macro.)

Anyway, new goal: get my macros in place (shooting for around 50/25/25) before leaving! Trying to not freak out about trip. Learning some band moves. I'm doing to come home fatter than before, but hopefully with a better butt.
