Holy Calorie! Oy vey ...

So, I decided to type up everything I ate today so far ... I had a feeling I had gone over in calories but I wasn't sure where. It is so easy to think you're eating healthy or to think something wont add up too much when in fact it does. I am shocked to see that by meal one I had already eaten more than half of my daily calorie intake. I should eat 1,500 calories as a minimum but should definetely not exceed that amount. I thought that by eating some protein with some veggies in my egg this morning, it would have been healthier but I have come to find out that some of my choices were not so smart. Now, I haven't gone over my calorie count but we're at a total of 1286 and that only leaves 214 available .. and it's 7 p.m. The last time I ate was at 4:00 p.m. so I'm going to have think smart for dinner tonight. So lets go over this ...

Breakfast
2 Scrambled Eggs 140
(I should have just had one egg)
Ketchup 30
Chopped Tomatos 20
Chopped Peppers 20
Milk Non fat 1 cup 86

2 slices of Whole Wheat Toast 140
(One slice of bread or no bread would have been a better option)
Strawberry Jelly 56
Pancake Syrup 59

Honey Baked Ham (3 slices) 111
(I'll be honest, I probably couldn't live without ham in my eggs, but I slice would have been sufficient)
Chopped Onion 30
(This meal contained a lot of veggies and protein which is good. However, there were some options I could have made better decisions on.)
Total: 692


Lunch
1 Cup of Spinach 7
Chopped Tomatos 19
Box of Raisings 42
Onions 30
Cucumber 17
French Salad Dressing 134

(This meal was actually really good on the nutritious factor, the fact that it was low in calorie helped me not go over my calorie max.)
Total: 249

Snack
2 Weight Watchers Toffee Bards 220
Half an M&M Peanut pack 125
Total: 345
(Snacks were really bad. Maybe one toffee bar would have been enough but having two really added up and I should not have eaten M&M's.)


Daily Total: 1286

214 more calories to go ... Oy vey.

I'll do better tomorrow. :)
