Playing the Percentages

It's day five of the diet and already there have been some nice ups and downs; good days and bad days; victories and defeats. I'm using this website called FitDay to monitor what I eat, and it's pretty interesting (read: unpleasant) to see my caloric intake pie-graphed out on the bad days. Yesterday, for example, I gave in to temptation and had a few beers at band practice. I didn't go crazy, but even those few beers, when added to my running total of carbs and fat and protein and alcohol (the site gives alcohol its own classification because it's so detrimental to physical health in general and weight loss in particular) really screwed things up. At the end of the day my caloric intake broke down thusly: food carbs - 55%, alcohol - 19%, protein - 15%, and fat - 11%. On one hand, it's nice to see I conosumed more protein calories than fat calories, but not so great to see that I consumed more alcohol calories than protien. I can't imagine what the proportion would be like after a weekend bender. Yikes.
