Well, a maintain is always better than gaining, rabidstoat.
Hubby and I hardly ever eat out, jillybean, and every now and then I look longingly at some of the meals posted here. Your dinner out sounds rather tasty.

Total: about 2500 calories. The chips and cheez-its were not at all planned, but I forgot to bring any food to work, and I was SO hungry (and not just having munchies, but actually hungry--otherwise, I wouldn't have made the trip out to the elevator and down 2 floors to get to the vending machine!), and the vending machine didn't have many healthier choices (lots of candy and pastries). I'd like to blame my deal Aunt Flo for the hunger--I hope that's all it is, cuz if I'm still this hungry in a couple days, lord help me!
