Intermittent Fasting: Day 8


Although I ate much higher carb, and possibly overate my dinner, I am still okay with what I ate today.  And yes, I gained slightly, but this isn't much and could easily have been the same amount on a "good" eating day.  I am not going to stress about the day to day.  I am more interested in the week to week, month to month picture. 

Remember - Right now, I am only concentrating on my eating window.  I am not trying to eat healthy.  The bonus is that I am making better decisions, without the stress of messing it all up.


TOTAL FASTING HOURS: 
  • From last night (30 minutes after last meal), until today's break = 18.5 Hours

FOOD & ACTIVITY LOG

11am - Rest of the day
  • Chai Black tea

12:15pm
  • Leftover Persian from yesterday's dinner:  Beef, chicken, onion, tomato, zucchini, mushroom, rice, tandoori sauce
  • 2 Medium sized home (not by me) fermented spicy pickles
  • ~ 1 cup Grape flavored chia kombucha by GTs

5:30pm
  • Homemade Pad Thai with chicken:  rice noodles, soy sauce, tamarind water, fish sauce, boneless chicken thighs, fresh lime juice, unsalted peanuts, egg, green onion, palm sugar

I ate 2 very large full plates.  I am pretty sure I overate, especially considering my macro ratio was very high for carbs.  My other regret is there really isn't much vegetable in this dish.  I should have prepared a salad or some kind of vegetable to go with it, and have more fiber.  But boy was it yummy!!



9:00pm

I am assuming that because I ate too high of carbs, and possibly overate, I felt rather hungry for a few hours.  I couldn't take it anymore and decided to eat a somewhat healthy (albeit high in carb) snack.   I felt better.

  • ~1/2 cup of Cottage Cheese (Plain, Full fat)
  • ~3/4 cup of Plain Organic greek yogurt
  • ~1/2 cup grain free granola - banana, apple, dates, cinnamon, etc.
