August 20, 2026 Daily Food Blueprint

Since I have half of the beef leftover from yesterday’s food blueprint, I am going to repeat yesterday’s daily food consumption as today’s menu. The calories are over my limit, but I hope to include a 10-mile bike ride as exercise to offset the extra calories. I will be sure and drink plenty of water .

And no, the Ritz crackers are not natural food, but I have to get rid of them somehow. It is really difficult to stay on track 100% of the time. I shouldn’t have bought them to begin with, but when you cave to a weakness, you have to live with the consequences. I am just keeping it real.
