Day 1 - In the bag.

So, started out with a little light exercise in the morning. A little mix of jogging and walking while pushing Nova around. Very light, but surprisingly, felt pretty good. Probably because I started with a granola bar instead of a 4 egg omelet...

Wasn't very hungry during the day, probably because I ate a metric ton of food yesterday. NOT a good approach. Also, was very conscious about drinking lots of H2O. It's surprising how much water can do to keep you from wanting to go face first into a bag of Doritos.

Had a productive work day too, didn't sacrifice my normal work pattern to exercise and didn't have an emergency cheeseburger. Of course, it was labor day, so almost no one else was working, but still a good start.

Here's my day, in detail.

 Notes
Exercise!  You burned 320 calories.
No dessert!  You easily saved yourself hundreds of empty calories.
You have eaten fiber-rich foods.  This is a good indicator of a healthy diet.
Saturated fats only accounted for 4.8% of your calories.  Good job staying below the 9% limit!
No alcohol!
You consumed 7620 IU of vitamin A.  This is 327% of the recommended daily value for men.
You consumed 12.7mg of iron.  This is 159% of the recommended daily value for men.
Too few calories.  It is very difficult for an adult male to receive adequate nutrition with fewer than 1400 daily calories.
Not enough breakfast calories.  Research has shown that skipping breakfast or eating a very small breakfast may increase your risk for obesity by as much as fourfold.  We recommend eating a minimum of 200 calories for breakfast.  You consumed 180 calories.
