Default opps?

For lunch, i just ate, a large thick piece of steak.. grilled in my george foreman and 2 scoops of mashed potato (marg & milk) and about 3 tblspoons of ketchup.





WOW!
i looked up the calories being curious...... roughly it was arond 600 calories... in one sitting..... Opps? lol I love steak, and usually i'll have it with steam vegetables, and i have it once every 2 weeks.

Do you think its terribly bad? Im not beating myself up about it, i have lower calories choices for the rest of my day, and looking up what my calorie intake should be, right now total, im still another 600 calories off, at least. - And i have trouble getting calories.

I don't think it is a reason to beat yourself up. It's all good

I don't think 600 calories for one meal is bad at all. It's all about balance, so if you had a higher calorie lunch, just have a lower calorie snack and dinner. 600 calories really isn't all that much when you think about your whole day. That's probably less than half of your daily calories.
I eat steak at least once a week... nothing better than a good grilled steak! Yum!

600 calories in one meal isn't going to do anything bad to you. Since I don't eat snacks, I often have 600 calorie meals.

Don't sweat it, you're fine.

I eat meals like that all the time... Of course no margarine. And reduced sugar ketchup. All in all, sounds like a good meal, sounds like you're doing just fine to me. ;-) But, theres no reason you shouldn't enjoy foods you like sometimes.
