Capt-MoonLight’s Memento Mori

This is Tuesday’s breakdown. Let me know what you think, I’m new to dieting so input from pro’s would be good.

This is a 3 day average of total calories.

I’ve just had a startling revelation with my diet!Most of my meals aren’t to bad, although I’m far from a bodybuilding clean diet. I eat regular meals that normal people eat 1) Cereal with normal milk for breakfast

2) Iv’e been having protein shakes for lunch for the last month

3) Dinner is usually Smallish steak/mash potatoes/3 tablespoons of vegies

or 2 fried sausages/1 fried egg/ fried chips with 3 tablespoons of vegies

4) 3-4 night per week i snack on 1 mars bar (chocolate) or 1 KitKat and 1 bag of potato chips, 1 glass of milk. lol

the rest of the nights I have a handful of salted peanuts, 1 handful of cashew nuts, an apple and some other fruit and a glass of milk.

Not a pro body building diet but still, I’m not gorging on food and what I do eat isn’t that bad. It’s not like I live on fast food, although I do have that 1 night per week lol

Anywho…. I d/l a diet program where you enter the food you eat on a given day and it breaks it down to all the individual intake, carbs/fat/protein and it even breaks it all down to the vitamins and minerals etc and tells you what you should be eating for your age/weight/sex etc.

I was shocked that on my fast food night, see above for the 3 meals and just add the large tub of fried rice I had for dinner lol and I was SHOCKED!!! to see that I got not 1 dot of Vitamin C in my whole day.

The shocking thing is, that if I project that to my normal meals I still get very little to NO Vit C in my diet. The 3 tablespoons of vegies I have 4 nights per week or the odd banana/apple/nectrun etc hardly add up to a sufficient Vit C intake.

So I googled Vit C deviancy and the symptoms are ,

Anaemia – Feeling tired, lack of energy, sleepy.

Sores take a long time to heal

I have all those symptoms…

So I rushed down to the shops and bought Vitamin C tablets and will have 1,000mg for the next few days just to get some Vit C into me J Hopefully I will start to feel better.
