P90X--Day 2

Pre-workout:
10 almonds (65)

Workout:
Plyo X. This wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. I'm not a high jumper, so it was probably a little less intense for me than for some others, but I still managed to burn 500 (actually 508) calories in that 57 minutes. That's totally respectable, especially given that I was at home and didn't have the space I needed to REALLY Get into some of those leaps. I'll try to reconfigure for next time, but it felt pretty good. Am wondering if P90X is intense enough for me. Perhaps I'm cardiovascularly strong enough that I don't need anything more intense? I am hoping that this focus on just 2 body parts for weights each session will help me see lots more definition, and I'm excited to try it at the gym with much heavier weights and less reps.

Breakfast:
banana (85)
eggs with spinach and 1 T egg protein (which makes them tough and gross) (230)

Morning snack:
protein bar (180)

Lunch:
chicken breast w/ 1 T. sour cream (160)
plum (75)
banana (120)

Afternoon snack:
2 bananas (200)

Dinner:
3 eggs with spinach and mustard (300)


Evening snack:
green smoothie w/ 1 T protein powder (175)
coconut M&Ms (100)
cereal and milk (225)
almonds (75)

What do you use to determine your calories burned per exercise session?

I use my heart rate monitor. I was going to buy the body bugg, but so close to my goal weight I just couldn't justify it. Seems to be within 10%, although I don't believe that I burned 350 in my hour of arms and shoulders weights today! Generally, HRMs go way inaccurately high for weights, good for cardio. :)
