 this video so I am doing a what I eat in a week points versus calories so for me And I've mentioned this in several other videos. This is actually the fourth video in this little mini series I will link the other three videos below and they are also under the playlist of Calories versus points on my YouTube channel on this channel So you can check them out and get caught up on kind of where we are in this little mini series But again, this is the fourth and final video. So my goal for this video is to track my calories versus points So my main focus for this week is going to be calories So I'm gonna put here on the screen how many calories I am allowed each day now I got this information by doing a lot of research calorie calculators. I calculated my BMR my TD EE I use the Harris Benedict formula and this is the overall number of calories that I should be consuming every single day I am tracking my macros as well. So I'm looking at how many protein carbs and fat I'm eating as well I have goals each day for that and I will insert those goals here on the screen in grams So this is my protein gram goal every day This is my fat and this is my carbohydrates now if I go over any one of these goals I don't freak out about it as long as I'm within my calories The calorie number is the biggest thing I'm shooting for because as we know in order to lose weight You have to consume less than you're putting out. So my calories is really my big focus But my macros is basically my secondary metric. I like to stay especially within my protein and my carbs I'm not too worried about the fat because the fat that I choose to eat is healthy fats like avocados avocado mayo I'm not eating burgers and french fries and fried food So the fat is there and it's great and I watch it But I really try to hit my protein goal or close to it the minimum grams of protein that I want to eat Each day is 120. I actually prefer to eat even more than that And I don't ever want to eat over 200 carbs a day again I prefer to eat a little bit less than that but overall I'm watching the calories now The third metric that I'm tracking this week are my points. I am on the blue plan I get 34 points in a day So I'm going to load all of my food into the lose it app Which is where I track my calories and my macros and then I'm gonna load all of that food also into the WW app and I'm going to share that with you each day So each day you're going to see my total calories consumed I'll even share my macros with you and then we're going to compare that to how many points I ate that day now my primary focus is not points. I actually don't care how many points I'm eating in a day. I'm just curious how many points I'm eating to reach my caloric goal and remember you guys I eat a whole clean food diet most of the food that I eat during the day is healthy whole real food Now I do have some snacks and things that I throw in there like you'll see throughout this video But most of my food is real food But unfortunately a lot of the real healthy food has higher smart points than a lot of the junkie processed foods So it's just the way that the smart points happen to work out on WW But my goal every single day this week Monday through Friday is to hit that 1860 or less And this even includes the days that I do jazz or size and I burn a lot of calories doing jazz or size So I hope that that kind of explains how this video is going to work out You're going to see calories macros and then points and we're going to see where I'm falling In smart points. Am I still getting a blue dot? Am I within my points? Am I way over my points? How's it all play out? It's going to be very interesting. So stay tuned Happy Monday, it is the first day of my what I eat in a week calories versus points I'm so excited you guys I started this morning out with coffee as always. Let me show you So I brought my coffee with me. I'll insert a picture of what is in my coffee So it is two tablespoons of the chobani caramel creamer. That is actually three smart points But it is only 60 calories So that's what's in my coffee for this morning And I'm currently sitting outside of mcdonald's uploading my videos So I usually come every monday morning and upload my meal prep my what I eat in a day and then whatever video I put up out on thursday. I have everything kind of pre-loaded and scheduled and ready to go So that's what i'm doing and then i'm going to head home and pop these recipes onto my website and then we are working out We're going to do some jazz or size. So i'm going to show you my pre-workout my post workout We're going to talk about movement So let's do it And my friends this is my breakfast for today. So I have one of the ham and cheese muffins I did in meal prep. These are outstanding. They're really good. They are five smart points I'll put the calories and everything on the screen at the end and then I have half of a cup of grapes Which are zero on ww and then I have one half a cup of this organic valley cottage cheese This is the whole milk. I don't like this one as much as good culture But it's decent and that is three smart points on ww So eight smart point breakfast calories are here on the screen It's about seven thirty my jazz or size class is at eight ten. So i'm going to go ahead and get dinner going I just thought I'd quickly show you what i'm going to do So I have a whole chicken here from butcher box I do have a link for thirty dollars off your first butcher box if you're interested Amazing prices for grass fed grass finished meats in general. So i'm going to go ahead and cook up this whole chicken And we're going to shred this up and make quesadillas. I can't wait So I am going to add a little bit of veggie broth. This is what I have open in the fridge. You could use chicken broth I'm going to do some salt and pepper and then I'm going to use some of the dax I have the original red and the green zest here. The original red is great on chicken It does have a bit of a kick. So I'm pretty lightly Handed on that and then the green zest is amazing as well. It's great on vegetables chicken So i'm going to actually use both of these because they're clean natural no salt no msg You guys know how I feel about dax. I love them. They have over 20 Seasonings so check them out my code here on the screen gets you 10 off and free shipping So you see a lot of dax in my recipes because I love it So I lined my crock pot with the crock pot liner ready. There's my chicken. It looks amazing I did put a little bit of the broth in the bottom kind of soaked the chicken with it as well So I'm going to get this going and get ready to do my jazzer size Well, since I'm in a workout little missy here is all cozy and her blanky Aren't you lololulu? Yeah, you're just so cozy No jazzer size for you. All right guys. I'm getting ready to do my workout. I've got my gavette Leggings on I really really like these leggings. They literally just hold everything in They're great for a workout. So let's have some pre workout and do our jazzer size All right. I'm gonna take my pre workout. I've got just you can see a little bit of water in my blender bottle here This is the pre workout that I use This is the my adventure to fit and this is in the raspberry. I actually really like this pre workout I find that it tastes really good. It's zero points at zero calories It really does give you that boost that you need. I'm trying to get you guys better lining. There we go It gives you that really good boost that you need to work out. I really really like it Tastes good. It works. I do have a discount code for my adventure to fit I'll make sure that I put that on the screen and down below for you guys but I basically shake this up and then I drink it about 10 minutes before I start my workout. Here's before So here's jazzer size these days This is our instructor carol and her home and we do everything on facebook live So generally I'll make the screen bigger and Voila, we have jazzer size on demand but with our instructors our routines our moves So excited And after I'm still out of breath So it was about 4500 steps, which normally I get a little bit more than that but Today's workout was a lot of jumping which for some reason it doesn't recognize as much on my fitbit But that's 59 active minutes and you guys it's 9 a.m. So Happy about that. So after my workout, this is what I have. This is the beyond bra precision bcaa. This is watermelon I've actually had the mango one and it's amazing. They're all really really good This is 25 calories for two scoops. I only put one scoop in it's just too sweet for me otherwise But this stuff is great for recovery gives you those good bcaa's helps with muscle recovery Water retention all the things so I just put it in my same blender bottle shake it up And that's what I have post workout. All right guys workout is done So happy about that. I got some wet hair here. I'm gonna go ahead and get ready for the day I actually am filming a couple videos today. So I'll be back when I'm already and I'm ready for the day I'm gonna film a couple of videos. I can't wait I did decide to go ahead and have some kombucha. So let me grab that So I decided to go ahead and have This after my workout. This is three smart points or 50 calories So I'm gonna film and then I'll be back when I have some lunch guys. It's lunch time. I'm starving Starving it's almost noon. I haven't eaten anything since breakfast. So I have my meal prep here This is what I made on monday. It's my first day trying this so we're gonna taste test this But there are my chicken buffalo meatballs with that really good buffalo cream or cream cheese Blue cheese dressing yum my mix of edgies. It's really really hot and steamy I'm going to have these gorgeous organic strawberries from trader joe's and a ciggies a 2% blackberry yogurt And this is my third water So four points my lunch is four points three for the meatballs one for the veggies My strawberries are zero my yogurt is actually this is a full fat or 2% so this is actually five smart points Which is insane. So that is going to be my lunch. Let's give this meal prep a try. All right guys Let's taste test this lunch. Sorry. We don't have the best lighting but look how amazing this looks So first we're going to test these veggies So these are just roasted with a little bit of avocado oil and then the dachs nothing but the ranch Which I love Hmm I love they're really really good I love roasting the mushrooms whole because they're nice and juicy when you bite into them Veggies delicious. All right now. Let's give these meatballs a try So I actually added the sauce to the meatball Um before I warmed it up so the sauce would get nice and warm too and it's kind of in the bottom here I'm excited Wow Okay These are delicious that sauce that noble I got from I'll insert a picture right there from thrive is amazing It's got the perfect amount of heat but mixed with the butter and the blue cheese Wow, these Are killer. All right guys. It is snack time. I'm gonna have a protein shake. I worked out this morning as you know So I'm a little bit hungry. It's 305 So look at what I have here. I wanted to show you guys. This is what that live well protein looks like It's a very fine and powdery. I'm telling you it does not have any plant protein taste This is it. This is the cacao. There are 17 grams of complete protein Now that's different than regular protein complete is everything you need kind of like quinoa And look it's free from gmo's soy gluten and dairy. I love this protein It is one smart point per scoop 104 calories Look at these ingredients. They're perfection like this is the cleanest protein powder I've ever ever been able to find and did you notice that it has organic stevia not stevia leaf extract Which is really really processed. So I love this. It's affordable. It's delicious I love it. I have the chocolate and the vanilla and I order the coconut So I have one scoop of that. I do have a discount for live well I'll put that here on the screen. You just click the link down in the description box I have one cup of the great value unsweetened almond milk I picked this one up just because there are no natural flavors. So I have that And then you guys know I've been loving the loconto no sugar added peanut butter powder This is sweetened with a monk fruit. And again, we have really really good ingredients. There's nothing Questionable in there. You can have two scoops or two tablespoons. I should say for one smart point So I bought that off of the loconto website I'm sure you could get this on thrive and maybe even netrition Which are both linked down below and then I have half of a frozen banana. So let's blender up All right, I ended up adding a couple of ice cubes as well, but look at that All right, look at this you guys It's literally like a chocolate peanut butter milkshake this seriously tastes like a Reese's peanut butter cup It's that good and it is only three points one for the almond milk One for the peanut butter powder and one for the protein powder Definitely pick this up. You're going to be seeing a lot of live well this week. All right. Here's my dimmer So here is my quesadilla from the pulled chicken from the crock pot with some of the siete queso and then I have some sour cream. It's my favorite Good culture full fat sour cream. I have some asparagus here. I do count This is one point just because I did put avocado oil on it So it's one for the asparagus Two for the tortilla two for the sour cream and one for the queso. So this is five six smart points for my dinner So here is dessert for tonight. This is the last thing that I'll be having This is the cleo bar in vanilla. These are absolutely delicious. This is what they look like It's basically a greek yogurt bar. You find these in the aisle with the regular yogurt They are only 100 and 40 calories, but they are six smart points This is one of the things I struggle with on ww But that's what i'm going to be having for dessert for tonight and like I said that rounds out my day So now i'm going to show you my calories macros and points for the day All right, so here are my calories for the day 1846 so you see that negative 696 that means that The app is recognizing that I earned 696 calories By doing my jazzercise workout. I don't usually eat those because I Technically eat those on my splurge day So it is saying that I still actually have 710 left But my caloric goal every single day is that blue number right there 1860 So I'm pretty much right there. So you can see that I've tracked my breakfast My lunch my dinner even my dessert is in there And then my snacks was my protein powder and my kombucha So then if you slide over at the top here, it'll give you the macros So I did 37 fat 36 carves and 27 protein So the reason that I'm not at this little line here is because I didn't eat all my calories due to exercise. So that's why you don't see it brought completely over So now if we look at my macros I ate 127.5 Grams of protein and my goal is 150 now I'm happy with 120 but I do like to try to hit 150. So I was a little bit short of my protein goal today And then I carbohydrates. I was 173.5 out of 175. So that's pretty darn perfection And then my fat I was actually over 16 grams. I don't really know how that happened I looked through everything I ate today and I guess I have to manually do the math But that's okay. I'm okay going a little bit over in my fat because what I ate today was healthy fat So that is kind of how the losing app works. So today was a big success The only difference is maybe adding in a little bit more protein. So here is my day in The ww app. So I used 43 out of 34 smart points So I was actually nine points over But technically quite a bit counting exercise under my caloric goal But even a little bit under my regular daily goal without working out So it's interesting to see how it all plays out in the ww app So my breakfast was 11 smart points my lunch was nine My dinner was 17 and that was because those cleobars are only are only 140 calories But are six smart points and snacks today was six points Because they even count my kombucha as three points even though it's 50 calories So interesting on day one of this little experiment So that finishes out monday interesting that I was below calorie goal But way over in smart points. I have a feeling that may be the trend of the entire week But we shall see so i'm going to hop in the shower Watch a little tv and hit the hay and i'll see you guys in the morning So we've got breakfast on repeat again today same thing as I had yesterday So I have one half of a cup or 110 grams of cottage cheese for three points My ham and cheese muffin, which I am obsessed with for five points Half of a cup of grapes for zero Water number one of the day. I think I drank like six or seven of these yesterday So I got my water in so my breakfast is eight Smart points total and I'll pop the calories here on the screen for you. Good morning Guys, it's Tuesday. It is about nine 15 I've been kind of working all day today. Look I am cleaning house today Tuesday is my clean house. I have my bedding going I had breakfast as you saw. I'm actually going to have a snack I'm going to do the coconut and almond built bar. This one tastes like an almond joy It's one of my very very favorites I'll put my code here on the screen for 10 off if you're new to built bar There's a special code down below for you that you actually get $10 off So take advantage of that and then I'm also going to sip on Some kombucha as I clean and things as well today So it's going well moving right along so I'm going to do some cleaning and I'll be back when I have some lunch All right, it's lunch time. It's 11 30. Uh, I'm having lunch on repeat from yesterday My meal prep of the buffalo chicken meatballs roasted veggies And I'm going to have some strawberries on the side today because I'm saving yogurt for dessert So I'm going to take this outside with my water and have some lunch Right, so we're outside Not the nicest day in the world overcast, but it's not raining anymore Diesel's out here. Well is out here. So for lunch, you guys know my meal prep Three points for the chicken meatballs one point for the veggies makes four And then zero for strawberries zero for water. So this is actually only a four smart point lunch So this just came in the mail. I want to show you guys what I'm going to give Troy my husband for father's day I'm really excited about this now. He's a man. So he doesn't have a purse He doesn't carry a lot with him. It's very very simple for him He just likes to have a few credit cards and some cash on hand. So this is the extra Smart wallets. This is the very first smart wallet in the world essentially and this is the parliament wallet that I got And it is kind of like a topey Blush color. I would say it's not pink. It's more taupe. So this is what the inside of the wallet looks like I'm going to put in some credit cards and some cash and kind of show you what this looks like So it's perfect for him because there's two cards here on the left side and then This little band here holds his cash, which he doesn't ever carry a ton of cash Anyways, I would say maybe you could fit four or five bills right here and then two credit cards right here But I love this feature of this wallet. So there's a little pocket right here like a little slit So in the little slit, I just added some more cards. So check this out you guys This is what I really truly loved about this wallet If you click this little button at the bottom, watch the magic. So we're going to click this And look all the cards float to the top So I'd recommend putting the card you use the most in the back But look they do not come out and even if I removed Let's say, I don't know two of the four cards that I put in there They still don't come out and I love that. So it's really cool It's great for minimalists like a man who doesn't want to carry a lot with him He can hold a couple cards here some cash and then four or five additional cards In the top and then just click this button to pop the cards up But what I really love about this is it comes with or you can purchase the tracking device So this is the device that will actually track your wallet. So that's what makes this a smart wallet And this right here is why I got this wallet. So that actually goes in this back Little pouch of the wallet. So you're going to go ahead and Slide it in just like that. And now you guys your wallet has a tracking device Super simple. You're just downloading an app. So this is the app right here to polo So I'm going to go ahead and get that installed and then essentially we'll be able to ring our wallet and find it So if we ever lose it, it's easy for us to find. I just think it's beautiful. It's made from italian leather It's very sleek and small. I thought that he would love it But this feature of this app. I think is really the coolest part of this whole wallet Okay, so once you download the app now your tracker card is in the wallet You just simply click the ring to find Can you hear that? So it is ringing his wallet. I love that you can make it stop ringing It is pretty awesome. So that way your husband or you always know where your wallet is I just think it's pretty awesome. It comes in this really nice packaging and then the packaging for the tracker card So I love it. I'm so excited. He's going to love this. It comes in six different colors They're all leather Super super affordable as well. So with father's day coming great gift idea birthday gift for the man Or minimalist woman in your life This is great for travel too because you don't have to carry a bulky wallet or purse. So I can't wait to give this to him I think he's going to absolutely love it I will link this down below for you guys as well as a 15 off discount code that they gave me to share with you So I will link all of that down below for you guys. I love it. I think like I said, it's a great gift I think it comes a very well packaged very pretty And I'm excited to give this to Troy for father's day. Well dog father's day, you know what time it is It is three o'clock I'm hungry. I just finished cleaning my house I'm currently at like 6,000 steps from cleaning my house. So I'm in need of a protein shake So I'm going to change them up throughout the week to give you guys some ideas So today we're going to use just the traditional great value unsweetened almond milk one cup of that Today, I'm going to do the vanilla live. Well, you guys know I love this So I love the chocolate. I love the vanilla actually love all of them The coconut is really really good as well Again, I will link live well down below for you guys one point per scoop and it's the cleanest best tasting protein powder I'm going to do about a half a cup of these frozen organic blueberries Half a frozen banana and I have a little bit of kale here frozen in a bag. We're going to use that up So that's going to be today's protein shake aka smoothie. Here it is We've got blueberries half the banana some kale and some amazing protein powder I'm going to make my smoothie. Look how pretty she is All right, so the breakdown on this is pretty similar to yesterday It is obviously zero for the blueberries the banana and the kale. I do not count blended fruit So it is one point for the almond milk one point for the protein powder two points you guys doesn't this look delicious today I'm not being fancy and I'm just going to drink it in the magic bullet cup. All right guys. Here's dinner I made a salad and I wanted to show you guys my dressing because I get a lot of questions So I have about two cups of baby spinach I also have you can see them here about a tablespoon of pumpkin seeds I have a lot of blue cheese kind of in the bottom there. There you go Blue cheese crumbles. I have one serving of that for four points The pumpkin seeds are one point. I have some chicken here This is the whole chicken that I cooked in the crock pot yesterday that we made the quesadillas out of So there's actually points because it is a mix or a dark and white meat So I will put the points here on the screen at the end for the salad I have strawberries and then this is the vinaigrette that I make it's delicious So it is on my website, but I thought I'd show you guys really quick What's in it? So you need one teaspoon of oil of your choice One teaspoon to two teaspoons of balsamic vinegar about a teaspoon of spicy brown mustard You can even use stone ground mustard salt and pepper You mix it up in a little bowl here and you have a clean salad dressing that is so delicious And it's only two smart points for the dressing. You can't beat that at all So my points will be here on the screen for the salad And then I'll show you desserts and we'll go over the calories macros and smart points for today So this is going to be my dessert for tonight. I'm going to have one of the cigs Full fat four percent yogurts in mixed berry. I love these. They're so good. They're 130 calories a piece It's so good. So I'm going to have that and then I'm going to top it with one tablespoon of these enjoy life mega chunks Semi sweet chocolate chunks. These are super super good. These have really really clean ingredients There's literally just four ingredients in here and they have none of the top nine allergies So they're actually a really good product. They taste really really good So I'll do one tablespoon of those that is four points And then the cigs is five points even though it's only 130 calories because it's full fat dairy All right, so here is today's tracker tuesday. So I had a total of 1,888 calories. My budget is 1,860 So I was about 28 calories over which I'm totally fine with that My exercise it says I earned 171 calories That exercise was cleaning my house like I mentioned yesterday. I generally don't use that So here is kind of how everything was tracked out and yesterday I didn't share with you guys but breakfast total calories coffee and breakfast was for 24 And the lunch was 5 28 that also included the bill bar that I had as a morning snack And then my dinner was 660 calories my or dinner and dessert and snacks was 276 So that's how my day played out there Now we'll slide over and take a look at macros. So here are my macros for today So it looks like 36 6 fat 34 carbs and 30 protein So I did really well on protein. My carbs are outstanding. That's really low for carbs So I did 142.8 out of 150 grams of protein, which is perfection I did 159.4 out of 175 grams of carbs. So also under there, which is great And then my fat was 77.1 out of 63 Over 14.1 grams like I've mentioned before. I actually don't really care that much about my fat It's more my carbs and really hitting that protein goal of at least 120 grams at least So I'm really happy with how things turned out calorically. Let's look at the ww app All right guys. So here is my points tracked in the ww app You can see that I got a blue dot, but I used 41 out of 34 points So if you remember yesterday, I used 43 today. I used a 41 So I am over quite substantially on my goal or my points are 34 So I'm seven over today and I was like nine over yesterday But my breakfast was nine points and my lunch was 14 My dinner was 13. My snacks were eight. So I'm still ending up over in point So that was kind of how today ended. I'll see you guys tomorrow morning. Wednesday Good morning. Happy Wednesday. Thought I'd hop on here first thing. I just got up It's like 604 and you know what has to happen first thing coffee So I'm going to make some coffee, but I just want to hop on and wish you guys a happy Wednesday I have quite a busy day today. I have a lot of work to do and then I think We're gonna venture out and we're gonna go to tj max. We may go to hobby lobby We'll just kind of see where the day takes us. So first things first coffee Ah Coffee so you saw I used that silk sweet cream today I count that as two smart points and it is 50 calories. So coffee check now I think two other household members need a little something first thing this morning You need something You need something this morning Is this it Okay. Good morning. Good morning, baby All right. Does this look familiar or what day three of the same breakfast? This is what happens when you meal prep. I eat my meal prep every single week So I generally have it at least three days in a row now Thursday and Friday are a little different Just because I'm usually out and about in the morning But today's Wednesday and I'm having my breakfast on repeat So I have about a half of a cup of my black grapes One of my ham and cheese muffins and half a cup of good culture finally Cottage cheese. So again five and three. So this breakfast is eight points and Water water number one So I'm gonna eat this breakfast because we're gonna work out jazzer size at eight 10. It's currently 735 Alrighty, it's jazzer size time. We've got five minutes before class starts I wanted to show you guys that I'm wearing that green Mesh Yvette bra that I showed you guys in my what I eat in a day that was posted last week I'll let you guys know after my workout how this does for support. It is so freaking cute So I'm gonna go work out and I'll see you guys in an hour. I thought real quick I've got a couple of minutes here. She's not quite live on facebook. This is my fun Quarantine setup. So my husband usually parks here. So I have this whole area of my garage This part full of stuff this area of my garage to do my workout, which is great. So I put my Little computer up on this cd holder and then over here I'll throw my water and then I've got my weights because we always do weights at jazzer size. So That's my setup. Hey, it works. So he was with me my whole workout bubba squeeze. Hi buddy I love you. He just likes to be out here with me sleeping on the cold concrete floor All right guys, look at that Sweaty mess I actually took my shirt off during the workout and just did my workout in my sports bra because This shirt is just like the whole time. It was like riding up and Not very comfortable. So I just took it off and decided to just work out in my sports bra So the sports bra honestly did fantastic during my workout It held me in pretty good. I wouldn't say that it's the highest support I was doing a lot of jumping. So I'm out of breath in the beginning of the routine and my It was flopping a little bit. So this one I would say is more of a medium support bra So if you're walking or if you're doing more of a low impact workout, it would be perfect. It's so cute. So Anyway, I'm gonna drink a little more water and cool off a little bit And then I'm gonna get ready so we can make a couple of trips to maybe tj max and hobby lobby. So Ah, it's time to just chill and here's today's workout just for reference and a facebook message 5,312 steps. I didn't have really anything when I started jazzer size 60 active minutes Right before we head out to tj max I'm hungry. It's almost 10 a.m. I'm going to be having a little bit later lunch because we'll be out and about I think I'm gonna bring kombucha with me, but I'm gonna have this protein shake This is the aloha and chocolate and sea salt. I actually bought this off of thrive They're on a crazy good sale right now If you guys remember I talked about the aloha protein bars in my protein bar video and they have a fantastic ingredients So I thought I'd give these a try 170 calories. I did look it up. It is five points 14 18 grams of protein Um, I was gonna see if I could show you guys the ingredients. All right, so here is the ingredients I think it has well it has natural flavors That's the only thing I don't like but you're gonna find natural flavors in any flavored protein shake It doesn't matter But everything else is amazing. This protein shake even has mct oil Which is medium chain Try glycerides, which are really really good for you. It's made with coconut sugar, which is literally best in class So this is the chocolate and sea salt plant based. I'm gonna try this. I hope it's good I hope hope hope I ordered this one and the coconut it is organic as well So don't forget about thrive the link down below will get you 20 dollars in free product So you can even order these for free. So I'm gonna try this. Alrighty. Oh my shirt. You guys bones coffee These shirts are so cute. They're a little bit fitted, but they're really cute really comfortable cute little cap sleeve So let's try this Wow That's really good. That is good. Okay. I taste chocolate I taste a little bit of the salt which kind of balances out the chocolate Doesn't have a plant-based taste at all to me, which is amazing It's not super sweet So it's not like the premiere because it's made with coconut sugar and then monk fruit But it's sweet enough. This would be really good with some espresso Like really good. So I'm gonna have this and then let's get in the car and go to tg max All right, we're at tg max. I just finished my protein shake I did bring kombucha with me as well. So I'm gonna bring this in So I'm gonna do some shopping. I'm after mainly what I'm after is something for that outdoor patio that I showed you guys Like a plant of some sort for the table But you never know you never know tg max can be a very dangerous place Man you guys everything is so picked over As soon as they opened up there was like a race to tg max. Look at this This so weird everything is so empty This may be a total bust Okay, guys, I think we're done Have an empty cart total fail. Did you guys see how empty the shelves were? That's crazy when I was here last week. It was so packed with stuff Like you couldn't even really shop because there was so much stuff now this week. There's nothing Wow, that seriously blows my mind. I'm debating if I want to go to hobby lobby They also remodeled our Ross recently. So Let's see where the rest of the day takes us since that was a total bust Another empty store There is a sign though Wow It's gonna be an interesting shopping day. I may just head home after this. Look at this What the heck? Look at this you guys. Yeah, I'm out of here Well, no money spent today. It's crazy. I'm planning on hitting up home goods on Saturday when I'm out in the valley So Hopefully they have some stuff. Oh my gosh is do your guys's stores look like this? All right guys Here's my lunch again. Looks pretty darn familiar. This is again my meal prep So I have my meatballs for three points My veggies for one today. I'm having a couple of the nectarines from my imperfect produce box Love that. I just ordered my next box you guys It's so cool to have produce for super affordable delivered to your doorstep. I'll link imperfect produce down below I've got water. So I'm hungry. It's 11 40 and your girl needs some lunch All right guys, you know what time of day it is protein shake time So here it is today. I'm doing this a little bit different So I have one cup of the almond milk Some frozen spinach a frozen banana in about a half of a cup Of this woowanna organic a pear fict peach blend. It has pear peach pineapple and blueberry It's actually really really good. It's almost gone. I've been using the heck out of it But I put about a half of a cup of that I'm going to give this a quick preliminary blend and then we're going to add in some protein powder And today we are going to use the Tara's way. All right So I blended it up just a little bit to leave some room here for Tara's way So this is the other protein. I really like this is grass-fed organic whey protein 21 grams in two scoops two scoops is two smart points So still really really good Tara's way also has a fan Tastic ingredients. So I have two scoops of that added to my protein shake I'm going to pop in just a tiny bit of water and then I'll be back to show you the completed shake and give you the smart points Again, I do buy Tara's way on thrive and thrive is linked below. Alrighty. Here she is Looks really really good. I really like the Tara's way blended with this almond milk Like I've mentioned before it can't have a weird flavor if you blend it with different milks So you have to be careful when you're choosing the milk to blend with the Tara's way But you can't beat 21 grams of protein for two points So it's two for the protein one for the almond milk. You guys know, I don't count blended fruit. So three smart points Black two magnets. We are drawn to each other You just know how to push all my friends our mac and cheese is in the instant pot I have my little copper ship air fryer. You guys know. I love this thing. I show it all the time I'll link it down below for you guys It is the perfect size if you literally just want a quick meal and there's only two people in this house So with our mac and cheese, we're gonna have chicken nuggets. So I'm gonna do Two of the cauliflower new chick on the block. I love these. They're one point apiece And then I have some of these archer farm chicken nuggets for my husband. These are delicious But they're really high. I don't know the points, but they're 220 calories just for four pieces It's not very many. So I'm gonna cook up some of those for him and some of this for me So there you go. These are mine and they're so good and then some nuggets for my husband I just go ahead and cook everything at 400 Until it's done. So halfway through I'll shake it up a little bit I don't even set the time. I just watch them as they cook. There's my dinner. It looks amazing So the macaroni and cheese you can also do a little variation on this You cannot add the mozzarella to the macaroni and cheese You can actually add it to the top throw it under the broiler for a couple minutes and it gets a crispy top So whatever your preference is you can also cook this on your stovetop. It does not have to be done in an instant pot So the macaroni and cheese makes eight servings each serving is seven smart points Which is not bad at all that is using the fiber gourmet pasta because it is so low in points You can add two ounces for two smart points regular pasta is two ounces for five to six smart points So if you sub a different pasta, you'll have to recalculate the points. I will link netrition down below That's where I buy my fiber gourmet. Love it. And then I have two of the new chick on the block call of power nuggets for Two smart points. So my dinner is a total of nine points. All right, so here's dessert. I'm going to do a strawberry clio bar I love these. I showed you guys what these look like on monday. This is 140 calories, but six points We talked about that. So this is going to be my dessert. Let me show you my tracker for today All right, so here is today So I had 1,858 calories out of 1,860 so I actually had two extra calories earned 575 calories exercising today So they say that I should have eaten another 900, but I'm good and then or 600. I'm sorry and then for macros I was 29 fat 39 carbs 32 protein I had 152 out of 150 grams of protein. So look at that three grams over which is Nothing to complain about. I had 183 out of 175 So I was actually over eight grams of carbs, which I'm okay with that as well And then last but not least I had 60.4 out of 63 grams of fat So I actually had 2.6 grams left over so overall fab you less day And now let's take a look at the Weight Watchers app. All right So here is my Weight Watchers app. So I used 40 out of 34 points So I'm actually over by six points. It looks like my breakfast was 10 My lunch was four. My dinner was 15 and my snacks were 11 Now I want to say I think that some of lunch ended up in snacks But regardless I used a 40 out of 34 points. So again, I was over Six points today. So I'll see you guys tomorrow thursday Morning friends. Happy thursday. I'm currently sitting outside of friend Meyer. It's a little after seven in the morning Man, I'm up early and out and about today I'm doing some grocery shopping here before I head over to trader joes to grab the rest of my groceries for the week So I'm up and I'm adam. I'm going to be picking up my mom and taking her with me to trader joes She does like to go because she doesn't drive. She's actually never had a license I know it's kind of weird But I pick her up and I take her with me and that way we get to spend a little time together And she can get her grocery shopping in as well. So so far today I've made my coffee using the chobani caramel creamer And here is my coffee. So I just brought it with me to take grocery shopping So I also brought a healthy eating all the time and go bar and a banana for breakfast So when I do eat my breakfast, I'll be back to show that to you guys So I'm gonna head in and do some grocery shopping. All right guys. I'm out of the grocery store So I'm going to have some breakfast. I'm gonna flip you around and show you what I'm going to be having It's about eight I'm picking my mom up at eight thirty because trader joes is open to Anyone under the age of 60 at nine. So that gives us enough time to drive up there from her house So let me flip you around I did pick up kombucha at friend mire as well and show you breakfast So here is the kombucha that I got you guys know. I love the gts. This is the ginger berry This is 50 calories. It is three smart points for the whole bottle I've got a banana I haven't had a banana just as a banana in so long that of course is zero points But 90 calories and breakfast is the healthy eating all the time and go natural peanut butter oat bar and chocolate This is I have to say my favorite. I love this one and the cranberry, but this one definitely Seals my heart. It really truly is my very favorite one. Look at the back of this you guys these big chocolate chips It's kind of like a granola bar consistency. It is delicious It has a fantastic ingredients the macros are absolutely on point. So this is six It's either six or seven points. I've always counted these as six points May it might be seven and it's 210 calories. So this in the banana is my breakfast So that means my breakfast was right around 300 without the coffee in the kombucha Which is what I like to see. So I'm gonna have breakfast. I do have 12 off for the healthy eating all the time and go bars It's not an affiliate link. It's simply 12 off for you Help support a small business and she's like the nicest person ever So highly recommend these bars if you're looking for a good clean bar All right, here's today's lunch. This looks awfully familiar This is actually my last meal prep. So what I have tomorrow friday will be a little bit different But I did change it up a tad. I have my meal prep veggies for one point My buffalo chicken meatballs for three points And then you guys these are the trader joe's patio potato chips. These are so good They are a mixture of sea salt and vinegar Which is actually one of my favorite chips dill ketchup and barbecue. Uh, yes, please They only come out in the summer. They are so Good, you can have one ounce, which is what I weighed out here on my food scale So that is one ounce always weigh your chips because not all chips are the same size and you get a little bit more Accurate and more chips generally if you weigh it out. This is 140 calories or four smart points It doesn't have the best ingredients. It does have canola oil and natural flavors But you know what every once in a while a girl needs some regular potato chips so I've got a serving of those And all my lunch so it's four for the potato chips Three for the meatballs one for the veggies. So this is eight smart points total And of course i'm going to grab myself a bottle of water guys long time no talk We actually ended up having quite the day today My husband dropped me off to have the window tint on my car replaced The tint had bubbled quite a bit and we were going to have it replaced before the virus hit And they just reopened so he dropped me off in my car to have that done and while we were waiting We ran over to harbour freight to get my husband a Jack so he can change the blades on our riding lawnmower And then we decided while we were waiting for the tip place to call us back We headed over to a nursery next door to harbour freight $900 later We have new trees and bushes for our yard. They're going to be delivered and Installed if you want to call it that planted this week. I can't Wait, I'll show you guys in an upcoming video But that's kind of how my day ended. I ate my lunch at 11. It's now 320 and I'm hungry because I haven't had anything to eat at all So I don't know what I'm going to do yet But I'll show you guys what I have for a quick afternoon snack So I was going to make a protein shake, but it's literally 330 and I'm going to start dinner here in about an hour So I just measured out on my food scale two servings of the whole milk classic good culture So basically I don't even know the points. It might be five or six for this But this is going to give me 28 grams of protein, which is amazing It's so good and will definitely tide me over until dinner. So it's 220 calories total so along with my cottage cheese. I'm going to have a built bar I just took a look at my macros and calories and I'm pretty low not having that protein shake on my protein I'm lower than my 120 ish goal. So this will be a great way to get in some protein Not too many carbs a good source of fat to keep me nice and full. So this is the salted caramel chocolate built bar I love these you guys know that my code here on the screen will give you 10 percent off And down in the description box is a special link for those of you that have never had built bar for $10 off your first order They do have some amazing promotions running right now. So definitely go and check them out This is a three points and 110 calories guys. Here's my dinner I made a barbecue meatloaf with smashed Potatoes and carrots. I made this in my instant pot This is part of my meal plan service that I offer over on my facebook group So head over there if you're interested in taking part in that meal plan service But basically I have one slice of the meatloaf the whole recipe makes six servings Some smashed potatoes you guys these are amazing and some carrots This whole thing was literally made in my instant pot Took about a half of an hour and this entire dinner is only seven smart points on the blue and green program And only four if you follow purple because your potatoes are pretty much zero points other than the butter And this is 93 seven ground beef that I use so Yum for dinner. Oh, and then I'm having a zivia right so for dessert tonight. I'm gonna have a clio bar I was gonna have yogurt, but we've had a busy day and it's already 6 40 So I'm just going to have this vanilla clio bar for six of the smart points and that's going to Round out my day for today. So let me show you my tracker For calories and macros end points. All right. So here's my tracker for today budget 1860 what I actually ate was 17 and 38 calories So I'm actually under what is that 120 calories That is just fine and then you can see that it gave me some exercise credit Just because we walked around the nursery for so long. I'm almost at 10 000 steps. So you can see everything I tracked here breakfast for my healthy eating all the time in go bar lunch I had my meal prep and some of those delicious potato chips dinner And my snacks I had to go back and change it since I didn't make my protein shake And then as far as macros go, this is my percentage. It looks good. I'm a low on my protein. So that Is pretty low on protein. I like to see a little bit higher. So let's take a look at what I did For protein. So I have 123 out of 150. So at least I hit the 120 grams My goal you guys know is 150 but 120 is not bad. I'll take it 123 carbohydrates 174.5 look at that you guys down 0.5 of a gram So it was a little bit carb heavy, but within my range day today And last but not least is the fat if we can get back there we go So I was actually 67.4 out of 63. So up 4.4 So that's my day as far as macros go and again calories about 120 under so let's look at w w All right, so here's the w w app. So today I used 40 out of 34 points. So technically I did get a blue dot So 14 weekly points remaining which is quite interesting So the way that we're going all at least be six if not seven over tomorrow As well But if you think about it if I was six or seven over saturday and sunday as well I would have went negative into my weeklies if my standard is between 40 and 43 points So quite interesting now tomorrow is going to be a little weird because we are going out to dinner with some friends So i'm going to be saving a lot of my points for dinner tomorrow But that is how we finished out thursday all right guys that ends thursday day four of calories versus points We have a pattern here my friends and we're going to talk about it a little more in depth tomorrow when I finish out this Video so I hope you guys are enjoying it so far. I know it's going to be a long one But lots of good information and we'll recap everything tomorrow afternoon So have a great rest of your day and i'll see you tomorrow friday friday. I just finished my virtual workshop I was going to film a little bit, but I remember her saying That we can't film it or something like that So I didn't want to get myself in trouble But I just got into my car to go and film and edit and upload my weigh-in video So that will be up here in just a little bit which you guys would have seen long before this But I didn't want to show you what I brought with me for breakfast because that way I have breakfast Snacky type of stuff with me to stay on track So let me turn you around and show you what I grabbed So I warmed up one of my little ham and cheese muffins that I've been eating throughout the week And then I also brought a healthy eating all the time and go bar with me as well Just so that I have this as the second portion of my breakfast gives me a little bit of protein So technically this is six points and my muffin is five So that is 11 and then water always water. So Let's eat breakfast. All right. We are about to head out We're going to go pick up some new blades for our lawnmower and back to the nursery to Do some exchanging we decided not to get one of the trees and we need to buy some additional bushes So it is about 10 20. I'm gonna take kombucha with me Just to have while we're out and about if we pick up a lunch. I'll definitely show you guys that Picking out the bush So here's what we picked out That part so we decided to stop at taco bell for some lunch. We just left loaves It's a little after 12 So I'm going to turn you guys around and show you what I ended up getting for lunch I did the three soft tacos without sour cream. I believe it is just under 600 calories But I'll let you guys know with a diet drink and a water. So that's what I'm having for lunch All right guys, I'm at the office for my floor time I'm going to flip you guys around really quick and show you what snacks I brought I probably will eat these because I'm here for about three and a half hours And we're having a late dinner because we are going to dinner with our friends So what I'm going to do is see if I can find what I'm going to have on the restaurant's website I'll put in some clips of it. I won't be filming at dinner I just we haven't seen them in forever and I just didn't want to be weird and awkward and film at dinner But I'll put in clips of what I'm having After my snacks and then at the very end of course, I'll put in my tracker And then we're going to touch base and talk about how this week went and yeah, so that's kind of where we're at It's currently 205 So I ended up bringing a bag of the cut up strawberries just because we need to eat these up and that of course is Zero points I would guess that this is maybe three quarters of a cup of strawberries And then I just got my bill bar order in and got the mint brownie delight Which is my favorite bill bar. You guys these are amazing It tastes like a Mint cookie from Girl Scouts or like a grasshopper cookie And if this is only a three point bar, but it has 15 grams of protein Six fiber and four fat so it keeps you full Like I said, this is one of my favorites and this is another really good one To nuke for about 10 seconds and it makes it like an ooey gooey brownie So I'm going to have this and my strawberries is my afternoon snack I'll put my code here again for bill bar and it of course is down below All right, so here is today's tracker macros and calories so out of 1,860 calories today I had 1,939 calories, which looks like I'm over about 79 Now I'm okay with that because this is the day that I am starting calorie cycling like I talked about in my weigh-in video And also this is the day that is one of my higher caloric days I'd like to be between 23 and 2500 so I did pretty darn good for a high calorie day So here are my macro percentages now remember i'm over by a little under 100 calories So I have 32 fat 44 carbs 24 protein so definitely a carb heavy day But you guys have to remember I had Taco Bell and we went out and I had A little over half of a calzone so for today I had 119.7 out of 150 grams of protein So I was short about 30 now. I did have a decent amount of protein But you're going to see that the carbs for today is definitely a lot higher. Look at that 217.5 out of 175 So I'm over in my carbs by 42 and a half which Again, I'm okay with because this is one of those days that is kind of my splurge I I enjoyed my lunch with my husband and my dinner with my friends and then for fat I'm also over but not too bad now you guys that's not too bad over fat with eating Taco Bell and a calzone 70.5 out of 63 So that's how my day kind of looks in the losing app for calories and macros So now let's take a look at the w w app So today I used 55 out of 34 points So you can see that I've already used 21 points of my weeklies because I get 42 In a week so today was definitely a higher point day My breakfast was actually 14 points with that healthy eating all the time in go bar and the muffin And the coffee my lunch it was 17 points for those three soft tacos That's a lot for those three little soft tacos and then my dinner actually was 18 points And that might be a bit low because the restaurant I went to was not in the app But it was a little more calories than this worked out to be so it may be closer to about 20 points And that's eating just a little over half of the calzone and then my snacks for the day were six So 55 out of 34 points to round out today Alrighty guys that comes to the end of what I eat in a week points versus calories Now I didn't share tonight's dinner with you because we were with our friends And I wasn't exactly sure what I was going to be having But you did get to see that in both the losing app and the w w app But I wanted to sit down and kind of close out this video and go over A few key takeaways a few things that I learned this week tracking points versus calories Number one I learned that staying within my caloric goal is a lot easier than staying within my points goal I also found that every single day in order to meet my caloric goal I was over my points between six and ten Smart points a little bit more on Today where I decided to use the rest of my weeklies or my weeklies or the day that I Generally will use those extra points I usually limit that to one or two days during the week and then the rest of the days I stay within my calories or my points So those are a couple of the main takeaways that I got from this little experiment It's a lot to think about it's a lot to digest because to be honest with you Being within my caloric goal is the most important thing to me by Under eating for a long period of time. Yes, you're going to lose weight But you're going to do irreversible or sometimes irreversible damage to your metabolism And I don't want to do that and I've realized over this week and over the last few months of transitioning to this clean approach to the program That what's most important to me is to remember This is a journey not a race and I'm not focused on the number that I lose every week I'm okay If I lose a little more slowly if I maintain my metabolism Or in some cases boost my metabolism with all of the extra exercise that I'm doing And eating a little bit of extra calories here and there really keeps my body guessing and can contribute to boosting my metabolism So I've realized that for sure this week just kind of solidified that for me But I've known that over the last few months of this clean approach to the program So what am I going to do with that information? I don't know I don't have a final answer yet. I don't know Where I'm going to go moving forward what I'm going to do moving forward There's still a lot to think about a lot to contemplate a little more trial and error that I want to put in But I'm glad I did this and I'm glad that I tracked double tracked for the week and honestly you guys Those people that tell you it's a ton of work It literally took me an extra five minutes to put it into the ww app after I put it in the lose it app Or vice versa wherever you track first It basically took me an extra five minutes, which is well worth it to me to make sure that I'm eating Where I need to be eating. I really want to take a closer look at my macros and decide where I want to focus there There's just a lot that I still have to think about so as of right now I don't know what this means moving forward as far as even ww or calories or whatever But right now I'm happy that I did this experiment. I'm happy to share this with you I hope that you enjoyed this super long video and you had some fun takeaways from it as well And maybe some things to think about on your journey So let me know down in the comments if you guys would be interested in more of these what I eat in a week Points versus calories.
