The fact that I&#8217;m tracking my diet means that I probably ate quite a lot less than I would if I weren&#8217;t keeping a record.\u00a0According to my current diet tracking app of choice, MyFitnessPal, that ended up being:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Calories<\/strong>: 2357 kcal with 56% from carbs, 31% from fat and 12% from protein.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Carbs<\/strong>: 359 grams<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fat<\/strong>: 87 grams<\/li>\n<li><strong>Protein<\/strong>: 82 grams<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar<\/strong>: 128 grams<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt<\/strong>: 2001 mg<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>As I said though, this was a fairly good day and I didn&#8217;t do any training so food intake was much lower than usual. The day before my calorie intake was almost double this at 4278 kcal, but I did swim for an hour in the pool, cycle for 90 minutes and swim for 25 minutes in the sea.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>It may seem silly and I won&#8217;t track my diet indefinitely, but doing it every now and then for a week or so helps to keep me on track and makes me think about what I&#8217;m actually eating. For me, having a record of such things helps me keep it under control and also shows me where I should and could make changes.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following on from my post about tracking my diet, I thought I&#8217;d post a list of what I&#8217;ve been eating, so here&#8217;s my food diary from Monday..
