Weight
and Body Fat
Ok, today I've reached the same weight again that I had when I
started my McDiet. Apparently, my body fat percentage went down from
24.5% to 22.5%, which means although I didn't lose weight, my body
fat decreased about 1.7 kg from 20.5 kg down to 18.8 kg.
This is not what I had
expected, but I find it ok. Let's see what the next weeks will
bring.
Breakfast
Although I got up earlier today, I didn't feel hungry until noon. So
I skipped breakfast once more.
Lunch
For lunch I had the Quarterpounder with Cheese and another tasty Low
Fat Strawberry Yoghurt. They have Lemon Coke light at Plaza
Singapura, so I had one for lunch and then another one for the go.
I was particularly
impressed that they were able to reproduce my receipt after 10
minutes, as I had forgotten to ask for it when I got my meal.
Afternoon snack
As I was downtown, I had to try the McCafé at the Shaw
Building. Actually, this is no real McDonald's restaurant. I even
left when I was there for the first time, because I thought someone
just had copied the "Mc" for the name, as there were no
signs of any link to McDonald's corporation. Fortunately, on the
receipt it says "McDonald's", so there should be no doubt
that I really had McDonald's products. (I won't go there on a
regular basis, as it's not what you would normally associate with
McDonald's. I just wanted to try it.)
So what did I have? A
Chicken Pesto, a large cappuccino and a mineral water. The Chicken
Pesto was delicious, but I have no idea how many calories are in
there, as there was no nutrition info available, neither on site nor
on their website. I estimate that the Chicken Pesto has less than a
premium burger, therefore I assess it with 500 kcal, and the
cappuccino (due to the milk) with 200 kcal. Hey - they had sweetener
there!
The place is also nice.
Many small, semi-separated tables on some kind of steps. It's in the
heart of Singapore, but really a good place to relax. They also play
some relaxing music.
Dinner
When I came back from the city, just for fun I alighted one station
beyond my "own" one to try the McDonald's at Compass
Point. They had Lemon Coke light there as well! (Why don't they have
it at the three McDonald's within walking distance to my place?)
I tried to only have
the Fish McDippers with small fries (plus a Lemon Coke light, of
course). But eventually I ended up with an additional Strawberry
Sundae and an extra Lemon Coke light.
Calories
Today's calories add up to 2.164. I'd guess I've overassessed
the Chicken Pesto and the Cappuccino, so maybe it's only about 2.000
kcal...
