Calories
Hi girls! I post mostly over on the 20-somethings board but I do follow SB and just wanted to get your opinions on something. For the last couple weeks, I have been inputing my food on TheDailyPlate (Livestrong) just to see where I am at with my carbs, sodium, cholesterol, etc. I have my meals planned in advance, so in the morning I will input everything i'm planning on eating throughout the day. I seem to average around 1000 calories a day. I know SB doesn't focus on calories, but this seems to be awfully low to me. I have been trying to add in an apple or some nuts to bring my calories up a little higher, but sometimes its hard because I am simply not hungry, but I don't want my body to not get enough fuel each day.
What are your thoughts?
Todays meals for example:
Breakfast - 1 serving oatmeal with tbsp natural PB and 1 packet of Splenda
Snack - 2 sugar free toffee candy (I only allow myself these on Tues and Thurs) + 3 fiber choice fiber tablets
Lunch - 4 oz chicken breast, 1/2 cup steamed mixed veggies, 1 Granny Smith Apple
Snack - 1/4 cup unsalted mixed nuts with a few raisins
Dinner - vegetable beef soup (beef, carrots, onion, corn, green beans, peas, kidney beans)
