Weight Loss Challenge - Week 5, Day 2 - 1500 Calories - Fasted Cardio

Posted in: July to October 2009, Suzanne's Weight Loss Journey, Week 5 | Be the first to comment!

Day 2 of Week 5 went pretty well, but I ended up eating only around 1500 calories. I usually get very hungry if eat only 1500 calories, so that was weird. Of course, I may have forgotten to enter something…

Today was a cardio day, so I usually only eat my first meal after I workout. (I workout in the morning.) Some people like doing fasted cardio; others don’t. You need to do what’s right for you. I usually feel pretty energized after a fasted cardio workout — although, now that I think about, I almost always wake up and have a tea (1 sugar and a bit of milk). So, it’s not quite “fasted” cardio, is it?

Here’s what I ate on Day 2 of Week 5:
