The 1,600 Calorie Lunch โ€“ Steak Diane

Today was a bit of an unusual eating day, but I clearly made the most of it. According to my food log, I consumed 6,075 Calories, 294g of fat, and 321g of protein. I converted the fat into ounces, and it weighs in at 10oz of fat in one day, between saturated and unsaturated!

The two major contributors to this massive conquest of calories were my four Boost Plus drinks (1,400 Cal) and three 8oz Steak Dianes (1,629 Cal) that I had to eat today before they spoiled. For someone who can get stuck on the last few bites of a box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, the steak went down rather quickly and easily. In fact, I downed it with my 3rd Boost Plus and went on to eat 1/3 cup of fruit trail mix.

To show you that my day is not filled with empty calories, here is my food diary for the day (in no super-particular order):

Food Servings Cal. Fat Protein Tot. Cal. Tot. Fat Tot. Protein
Pastry 1 380 14 11 380 14 11
Tea 4.5 120 0 0 540 0 0
Milk 1.5 150 8 8 225 12 12
Trail Mix 5 140 11 13 700 55 65
Boost Plus 4 350 11 13 1400 44 52
Steak Diane 3 543 43.6 34.6 1629 130.8 103.8
Hot Chocolate 1 270 7 10 270 7 10
Potatoes 2 220 13 6 440 26 12
BBQ Chicken 1.5 281 3 35 421.5 4.5 52.5
Corn 1 70 1 3 70 1 3

All I can say is that I’m quite full, my jeans are quite tight in the thighs now (hey, guys aren’t suppose to put it on there!), and I’m hoping and praying the weight stays on for all this food we’re buying.
