Day 16

Diet
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1 egg
1 slice of multigrain bread
2 tuna patties
8 oz. lean chicken breast
2 cups broccoli
4 oz. tofu
1/2 cup spinach
salad (lettuce/carrots) with olive oil basalmic vinegar dressing with 1/4 cup peanuts

PFC like 55/35/10 before the salad. Around 1700 calories

Workout
3 mile run - new PR, 22:49

Thoughts
It's so hard to eat enough. I always feel like I'm constantly eating and stuffing myself but then after I plug everything into dailyplate it comes out to like 1300. I tried to fix my PFC by eating the salad, hopefully it'll increase the carbs and increase the fat with the olive oil. Going to start using fitday instead to see if that's easier than dailyplate. I'm considering buying protein shakes so I can just down the calories easily.

My run was pretty good, set a new PR for my 3 mile time. I definitely can't run like this often though, I pushed myself extremely hard (had to walk in the middle because my dry heaving was interrupting my breathing rhythm). Also since I'm still a fatass, my shins definitely pay the price, and I'm not really interested in getting shin splints again.

I want to work myself harder, I'm considering graduating to normal pushups instead of knee - but I tried a couple normal pushups today and the load is definitely a lot higher - I'm not sure if I would be able to sustain that through 4 sets of increasing difficulty pushups, especially considering the amount of assistance I need for the diamond pushups. Will think more about this tomorrow.

Feedback appreciated, etc.
