Tuesday I was hungry for some good ole southern banana nut bread. Perfect time to have it is at breakfast. I cut 2 slices and weighed on the scale. Went to My Fitness Pal to enter in breakfast. I have leftovers for lunch and I also knew that I wanted homemade pizza for supper. I had extra calories to play with depending on how much pizza I ate for supper. So I cut me another slice of bread. I did not change the way I ate my bread. Remember I am not per say dieting. I am mostly watching my calorie intake. So I took my skillet out, buttered my bread, grilled it and ate with my wonderful cup of coffee. I went to work at the LDEQ office. We just had that record flooding here and I have been busy checking on businesses. I left the office without my snack. I wasn't hungry so I didn't stop to get anything. But by 11:00 I was hungry and ate my leftover pasta and spaghetti sauce from the other night. For my snack I had planned on grazing on 1 cup of grapes. But Isaac my coworker gave me 1/2 cup of butternut squash to eat that he had made. So no grapes for me. I got home and did my 45 minutes of cardio. For supper I measured everything for a whole 12" pizza. What crust you choose to put your pizza toppings on makes a difference. If I were to use the premade personal pizza crust I would only be able to eat half because of all the bread. I used the 12" ultra thin pizza crust found at the Dollar Tree. Then take a look below at my numbers. If you were to order a 12" deep dish supreme pizza from Pizza Hut it would be 3280 calories,184g of fat and 7280 mg of salt for a whole pizza. Last week I went to a meeting and they served us pizza. I took at snap shot of that meal. I had only 1 1/2 slices of pepperoni pizza and I had 555 calories, 29g of fat and 1275mg of salt. The same pizza with the same type toppings that I have made at home had a lot less calories, fat and salt. Last night I had the calories and I was pretty hungry for my homemade pizza so I ate half of the 12" pizza as seen in the photo, which had more toppings than crust. I had 507 calories, 24g of fat and 1190 mg of salt. I say I did pretty good. Later in the evening I checked to make sure I had entered all of my food in my diary and that the portions were correct. I still had an extra calories left for the day. So I treated myself to 2 mini Reece's Peanut Butter cups. I ate pretty good again for the day for a total of 1110 calories for the day. If you like my meal ideas just check out my diary for a list of ingredients for that meal. And yes! I measured and weighed everything. A crucial part of everyone's dieting is will power. The second part is portion control with good choices and third is physical activity.
It's how southern women diet!
Happy Eating
