Here's what I've been typically eating for the past few months or so.
Breakfast (500 calories):
250g fresh strawberries, with 200g low-fat yoghurt and 40g raw rolled oats
1 cup latte made from those instant sachets
Mid-morning snack (300 calories):
2 large apples
Lunch (450 cal):
Humungous salad made from: baby salad leaves, chopped cucumber and tomato, 20g anchovies (40 cal), 200g boiled kabocha squash (120 cal), 100g smoked trout (150 cal), 1 hard-boiled egg (70 cal) and fat-free dressing (30 cal)
1 latte (50 cal)
Afternoon snack-age (??? cal):
Little bits and pieces of cookies, crackers, chocolate...basically, completely losing track of my calories at this point.
Dinner (600 cal estimate):
Salad of baby salad leaves, cucumber and tomato + a small portion of whatever my family is eating that night.
Night time snack-age (??? cal):
A few pieces of chocolate, oreos, misc. junk items to satisy the evening munchies.
ROUGH estimate for the day: 2200+ calories.
And that's just on a normal day. During weekends, I eat even MORE than that because I always go out some place nice with friends or family.
I think it's due to my relative youth and fairly active lifestyle that I've "only" gained 11lbs since the beginning of this year from eating like that. I do consider myself lucky in that respect. However, I am determined not to allow the slow but steady weight gain to continue! I think 1500 calories max. would be more appropriate from now on
