I may have to switch to the WW point system. Calorie counting is taxing my patience. The lists on the websites recommended by Amy and Anna don't give portion sizes on most things, so it's kind of worthless. ( for example I looked for almonds - it said 615 cal. and 615 cal is also what's listed in the portion size column. I found another site where you input a food item and it does a search and gives the information I want but I don't want to spend time individually inputting each food item and waiting for my computer to find it, then I have to write it down for future reference. I know that somewhere, if I have the patience to keep looking, there's an alpha list of foods , portion sizes and calories calculated for me by some computer nerd.
Soooo...as near as I can tell I went 200 over on Friday, all the time thinking I was way under. here's what I had:
yougurt cup with strawberries and blueberries
granola bar
Cashew chicken wrap ( whole wheat wrap)
orange
Large green salad with a few things added to the veggies (sunflower seeds, craisins, bacon bits) with ranch dressing
approx. 1/4 cup raw almonds
approx. 1 c. trail mix.
Went swimming Friday. Nice visit in the pool with the Jones'.
Amy- you shouldn't go to bed hungry; there has to be a way to stick to your plan without starving yourself. I try to eat dinner late - like 6:30 or 7:00, then a small good snack before bed and I won't feel so hungry .
Sorry guys, Amy must get her verbosity from me.
