Day 2 of my food diary, and it is interesting to see how things add up - even for someone who reads Nutrifacts religiously in the grocery store. About 1800 calories yesterday, and down 3 lb today from my New Year's Eve midnight benchmark. The decrease is going to slow waaaay down now that the holiday treats are mostly in the past.

Tarno said that endurance athletes should aim for 65% carbs, and yesterday's unplanned food choices worked out to exactly 65%! As suspected in our mostly vegetarian household, my protein was a few grams lower than I'd like. Thank you Phatty and Leanimal for bringing that nice shrimp ring over for last night's hockey game, or else I would have received a D+ in protein! Fat was 15% of calories. Fat, Protein and Carb percentages added up to 95%, demonstrating that the Nutrifacts people do some rounding, but it gives me an idea.

And then I read this article about deep-fried macaroni and cheese in the Globe. Not an ounce of irony, nor any mention whatsoever of health concerns associated with this trendy new "food". It's unfair that some people have genetics that allow them to eat this crap for years without major adverse effects!

Great ski around Palgrave West - about 25% trail breaking, the rest on slick tracks that were fast even on waxless skis. It's awesome here, but it sounds even more amazing and snowy up toward Collingwood. I think we'll need to go north for a ski over the next few days.
