Calorie Counting
I didn't bring my lunch to work today. I decided I'd go grab something quick to eat. There are tons of choices downtown so I started looking at a few menus online.
What was supposed to be a quick and easy choice was a bit tough. The more I looked at menus the more I realized I could not eat half of what was available. Many of the foods I LOVE would result in over half my daily calorie intake.
This is why I bring my lunch. I was a bit frustrated. How oh how can a small salad be over 500 calories???
Needless to say, I opted out of eating out. I really want to get some protein in but I just couldn't spend money on something that would not even be within my plan. Instead I grabbed a serving of Special K crackers, and a fruit cup.
Do I feel fully satisfied? NOPE! But, I'm not hungry either. There is one more fruit cup here but I'm going to continue drinking my water and try to hold out until I get home. There at least I have healthy snack options.
I won't be doing this again. I'm also going to bring some snacks to work so if I happen to forget, I'm not stuck.
