I mentioned in my last post that my scale and I were not seeing eye to eye so I succumbed to calorie counting yesterday, wooo. Gross. The game plan is to share in photos what a 1200 calorie day looks like. I tend to stick to 1200 so I don’t feel bad drinking wine at night : ) Plus I went for a 7 mile run yesterday and burned 840 calories sooo really the wine is just an after thought, priorities people, priorities. I am a morning eater for sure and live on the idea of “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper” so I tend to eat the majority of my food at breakfast and then again around 10am. Lunch is never a ton but I always have a snack at 2 because I typically work out by 4. Then dinner is around 6 or 7.

*Probably less because I didn’t end up finishing dinner, I made sure to eat all of my meatballs though!
Mix together the turkey, green onions and your flavor choice. I did an awesome tuscan seasoning blend that I have. The turkey package was 20 ounces and I ended up making 38 meatballs. Which is about 1/2 an ounce each, I did drop one on the floor though : ( It is not the end of the world because I will be stuck eating this meal forever. Throw meatballs in a large pan with a little canola oil and cook until all the pink is gone!
Funny story: I mentioned earlier that I got a box of 30 of these NoOodle goodies. Well I had them in the box they came in in a big walk in closet I have in my living room. The door was accidentally left open to this closet. Well I live with 2 cats… they attacked! They punctured 3 of the bags of NoOodles so I put those three in some tupperware in the fridge and made a massive feast because I didn’t know how long they would last in the watery grossness they are packed in. So thank you kitties, I will be eating red sauce and meatballs all week now!
For the garlic toast I put the bread in the toaster while the oven broiler got going. Once the bread was toasted I put a little bit of smart balance, garlic powder and shredded manchego cheese. Popped it under the broiler for a few minutes and done!
Over all damage for the day:
1225 cal / 39g fat / 155 carb / 84 protein / 34 fiber
Goals:
1200-1500 / 27-60 / 135-252 / 60-136 / 25-35
AKA good day! I did have a healthy amount of wine but like I said… doesn’t count : )
