My Food Journal

I'm trying to get in shape for the Spartan race i'm competing in in about 2 weeks, so I'm on a fairly strict eating plan. My friend Marissa and I have been emailing our food journals to each other to help ourselves stay on track. I thought I might as well post mine on here as well for anyone interested. Let me know if you have any questions. :) The basic fundamentals of what I am doing are as follows:

* 1 complex carb a day from fruit
* 1 in the form whole-grains
* 1-2 at most from veggies: (sweet potato)
* 2 cupped handfuls of vegetables eaten 5-6x/day
* 1 palm-sized portion of protein eating 5-6x/day.
* 1 gallon per day of water
* AVOID:
* Dairy, juice, bread, salad dressings (except lemon and balsamic vinegar), spreads and high sodium foods

**I am probably going to be having one serving of dairy per day in the form of NF greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or LF feta or mozzarella cheese.
