I've stopped the food diary because the results are conclusive and unequivocal.
Average calories: 2283
Average Carbs: 227=908 calories
Average Protein: 121 grams=484 calories
Average Fat: 99 grams=891 calories
From where I'm sitting it looks like I need to reduce the amount a fat I'm getting by about 20 grams and replace them with about 50 grams of protein. Shaving another hundred calories off the carbs total for the next couple weeks wouldn't hurt either.
Right now I'm imaging something like this:
Average calories: 2283
Average Carbs: 200=800 calories
Average Protein: 121 grams=484 calories
Average Fat: 79grams=711calories
It's still too cold here so I did a modified long slow day in the gym. The scale said 196 when I checked, which, if my math is correct, is one pound lighter than I was this time last week. Since there are 3500 calories in a pound of fat, I'm going to try to trim another 500 cal/day this coming week to see if that shaves off two pounds. I'm not in a supper big hurry, but it would be nice to be down to 185 or so before my next race.
