In/Out for Tuesday, August 12

13 08 2008

IN:

Breakfast: Coffee with a splash of half & half and sugar-free sweetener, a few ounces of low fat vanilla yogurt.

Lunch: Half a salami & cheese sandwich (about 6 slices of salami and one slice cheese folded into one slice of bread) and about a cup of  cucumber-tomato-green pepper salad dressed in lemon juice, olive oil and dill.

Snacks: A giant diet Coke with about 50 calories of regular Coke mixed in; a bag of chips (210 calories) as carb prep for three hours of musical rehearsal. Two popsicles totaling 140 calories.

Dinner: Three Indian vegetable samosas (about 260 calories). When I was putting these bad boys in the oven I thought they would have more calories since they are fried, but they only had about 85 calories each. So I kind of accidentally underate because dinner should probably be a tad more substantive than that.

But I did eat more veggies….

OUT:

No technical exercise, I’m exercising Wednesday. But I did have music rehearsal tonight, which is a lot of standing and a lot of singing. Basically two extra hours of being on my feet, during most of which I was actively singing, which is more physical than most people think. You need excellent ab and diaphragm control for breathing, good posture, etc. I’m sure there is a minor net caloric benefit to rehearsal, but I have no idea how to quantify it.
