Daily Values with Theo

Tonight I spent a good portion of the evening taking an inventory of what I ate today. Since I've been running so much trying to prepare for a marathon in 6 short weeks, I was curious how many calories, carbs, fats, and proteins I've been consuming and how it compares to what I should be eating.

Today I ran 13 miles which burned approximately 1700 calories. That means I probably need to eat an additional 1700 calories on top of everyone's typical 2000. I also read that the percentages that I should be eating should be about 70% carbs, 20% protein, 10% fats. Here's what I found:

Today I ate 3557 calories of which were 66% carbs, 16% protein, and 18% fat.

Was this very eye-opening... not really. The biggest surprise for me was how much sodium those veggie tamales had. I was also surprised at how much fat and carbs granola has. I cup is close to 500 calories! That's the equivalent of an apple fritter. I haven't fluctuated more than 1/2 lb. since I started the training so I figured I was getting enough, I guess I was just curious. I love nutrition.
