Here are the pics, the calorie run-down, and some info on exercise and calorie-saving tips. 😉
Breakfast – 380 calories
Snack – 1 cup watermelon – 46 calories
Calorie-free soda
Lunch Entree – 210 Calories
Lunch Side – 1 cup watermelon – 46 calories
Snack – Large Diet Soda, 1 ice cream cone – 150 calories
Dinner – 1.5 cups of a DELICIOUS homemade cauliflower soup, .5 cup strawberries, .5 cup watermelon, 1/2 of a beef sausage – 397 calories
I also drank (9) 8 oz glasses of water and worked out for a few minutes to burn 88 calories. Don’t have time to work out? Check out the Youtube Playlist I put together with some VERY fast and easy workouts! Anyone can stick those into their normal day – there’s even a 2 minute walk. 🙂
So where did I end up??
I ate 1,263 calories! Myfitnesspal has my goal at 1200, but since I worked out and burned 88 calories, it automatically adds those 88 calories to what I should eat to maintain a 1.5 lb/week weight loss. So my adjusted goal was 1288 calories. Pretty darn close, huh? 🙂
If you want to look at my progress and add me as a friend, please do so!! I’m JennsRAQ on MFP.
Okay, so I mentioned some calorie saving tips. Here are my tips (and pictures) from yesterday!
Cutting Calories Tip #1:
You don’t have to eat it all just because a food comes slathered in sauce! Leave some behind if you don’t really “need” it and shave off some easy calories!
(from my lunch)
Cutting Calories Tip #2:
SHARE! I had a very hungry little person approach me and I gladly shared a bit with him. I’m not losing TONS of calories, but if I just shared a little bit sometimes, it still shaves off a few calories here and there!
