1400 calorie day - doing just fine
nearly - then I made muffins for DH and DS. Fortunately they were pumpkin muffins with no fat and only a bit of molasses. I am figuring 200 calories a piece (maybe less) for a total of 1800 calories for the day. On the other hand, I am not hungry anymore.
Breakfast: 2 eggs over easy cooked in Pam and 1 english muffin with a touch of apricot jam: 320
Lunch 2/3 bagel with 2 tsp cream cheese, tomato, chicken breast: 400
Ground turkey, with veggies in a white gravy (skim milk + 1 Tbs butter for about 8 servings) on whole wheat toast (made mashed potatoes for the family, but that is a major trigger food for me, so I skipped them on my plate). I have a hard time estimating calories, but I would guess about 1/3 cup of the meat/veggies and 1 piece of toast. Can't be more than 400 cal?? What do you all think?
1 sm choclate candy: 30
Will run tonight!

I am going to the fair today with my 6' tall 140lb best friend/firefighter who I know will eat a corn dog and elephant ears. She looks great and hikes up mountains everyday with a 40lb pack and chainsaw (my relatives call her chainsaw barbie). Gonna try to be good.
