I got curious about how many calories I would be eating over the next three days so I decided to look up the fresh ingredients and add them to the numbers on the packages that I have.
Morning Drink
Green Tea: 0
Breakfast smoothie
1 cup water = 0
1 tbs flaxseed = 30
1 cup raspberries = 64
1 banana = 105
1/4 cup spinach = 2
1 tbs almond butter = 95
2 tsp lemon juice = 1
Total calories for breakfast = 297
Lunch smoothie:
1/2 cup almond milk = 30
4 celery stalks = 22
1 cucumber = 32
1 cup kale = 34
1/2 green apple = 60
1/2 squeezed lime = 6
1 tbs melted coconut oil = 120
1 cup pineapple = 83
Total calories for lunch = 387
Dinner smoothie:
1.5 cups coconut water = 81
1 cup blueberries = 84
1/2 cup mango = 50
1 cup kale = 34
1 tbs lemon juice = 4
1/4 avocado = 80
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper = 1
1 tbs flaxseed = 30
Total calories for dinner = 364
Total calories for the day: 1048 plus a 4th smoothie if needed
Since 3,500 calories is a pound, that means if I have a deficit of 500 calories a day for a week, I would lose one pound. I'm only part way through day one of this plan, and I was craving some "real" food between breakfast and lunch, but I've only had the breakfast smoothie and half of the lunch smoothie.
This may just be the jump start I need to getting me back in shape for my mud run.
