I do NOT want to overeat. I'm only 2lb away from my first official mini-goal of 20lb. I'm trying to plan the perfect meal. I don't know if there will be a salad there or not, but I know my family LOVES carbs. Bread, stuffing, mashed potatoes, rolls, etc.
I'm going to try to stick to this:
TONS of water.
Either 2 slices of turkey (thin, moderate sized), either 1 small spoonful (soup spoon, not serving spoon) of mashed potatoes or stuffing, NOT BOTH. 2-3 pieces of the famous toothpick-cheese, and a medium salad, no dressing or croutons. Oh, and possibly 1 develled egg.
I'm going to be starving. I can already tell. But nobody will make any special additional sides for me (if we had the money, I'd make my own side dish and bring it for everyone as well as myself. I might try to whip something up, but I doubt I'll be able to do it). I feel like if I eat the turkey, the stuffing/potatoes, and maybe 1 piece of cheese at dinner, I can snack on another 1-2 pieces of cheese and the egg later on.
No pie, no cake, no ice cream. No exceptions.
We won't be there for very long, only a couple of hours. I just do NOT want to overeat. I can't afford to mess up. About how many calories do you think that will average? I estimated around 1150, but I'm probably WAY off. Also, if you can think of any way to cut calorie-corners, please let me know
