First Day of School!

Posted by: travelgal In: General

Today’s the first day of school! YAY! i loveee my house and people living in it, and so far love my classes.

I decided that even though I didnt count calories today, I’ll at least track my food. I actually dont think counting calories is going to work this year, because I’m not preparing any of my food, but I dont actually know what to do about that? Should I switch to counting portions of things like grains, proteins etc, or just strictly track my food and write down everything I eat without counting calories, or what do you all think would be the best option for me.  to give you a basic run down of my situation: i live in a house with many many other people, with a fully stocked kitchen, and 2 meals cooked for us daily. so, since I’m not preparing the food and dont know the calories, etc, whats the best way for me to track/control my food?

food so far today:

Breakfast: (not so good, will be more controlled tomorrow)-1/2 raisin bagel with cream cheese and some yogurt.

lunch: pastrami and cheese sandwhich on wheat bread, some tator tots, tomato soup, salad and a mini baby ruth.  ughhhhhhhhhhhhh so bad. too much when i type it out. blah. im gonna have to work on this, the problem is how..

Hi!

There is that one web-site that tells you nutrition facts on anything you type in. It is called The Daily Plate. http://www.thedailyplate.com So you had tator tots…. Type in tator tots and it will give you several to choose from. At least this way you could guesstimate you know? Approximate calories consumed, and just try to really be in charge of your portions.

How lucky that you get 2 meals prepared for you a day. Do you get a menu of what will be served? That way you could be prepared. I am glad you are getting back on track. I am trying my hardest too.

Yay for the first day of school, I remember that excitement! Wow, your food situation does sound like it will be harder to track calories. I hope they will server relatively healthy foods!
