My daughter and I went out to lunch yesterday. Instead of the side salad (vinaigrette dressing) and fruit with an English muffin (plain – add a little jelly) I had planed I got a boca burger with no cheese and french fries. The planed meal would have been about 400 calories, 10 g Fat, 61 g carbs and 6 g protein.

The meal eaten was 770 calories 15 g fiber, 34 g fat, 107 carbs.

The result – I was too full, did not get in all the health food I normally have in the afternoon. Snack is usually a few mixed nuts and dinner is lots for fresh veggies and a protein. A great way to end the day.

Yesterday – I had to force myself to eat a vegetable soup around 6:30 pm (I do not eat after 7pm if I can help it).

This was not a good thing and I learned my lesson. As long as I am trying to loose weight and am watching my calorie intake – I need to stick with my planed meals.
