I would say that your diet needs some tweaking. Was the saugage biscuit on a white or whole wheat biscuit and did it have cheese? The vanilla iced coffee could be swapped out for black coffee (you'll save a ton of calories). The chicken salad could be masking a ton of calories depending on the type of mayo that was used and the croissant is filled w/butter. Depending on the Mexican casserole it could be healthy or not, I'm not sure what was used to make it. Was the baked potato a white or sweet potato? Again was the dinner roll white or wheat?
Did you count any of your calories?
