Let me see ... I love doing this
I'm wondering about protein and vegetables.
If you put peanutbutter on the toast ..... somewhere in there have a snack of say, fat free cottage cheese and sliced tomatoes and a salad with your turkey dinner ... I'd have had more turkey ....

I usually say not to worry about one day being under because surely another day you'll be over. But if I'm remembering correctly this is about 500 calories lower than you had planned. So do try today to get closer.

Congratulations on getting nice servings of fruit in there. Good for you and delicious.
