A Leftover Kind of Day

Thursday September 1, 2016 Menu

We are still having a busy kind of week.  That's deems this day as a leftover kind of day.  The only way to do the calorie crunch is to choose which leftovers to eat.  For breakfast I ate one of those new Jimmy Dean stuffed hash browns.  I am glad I only bought one box.  It wasn't all I thought it would be.  But on another note it was filling.  I brought me a few crackers to snack on while working out in the field. Then for lunch I had some of Tuesday's leftover crockpot mushroom chicken.  My mom portioned the plate.  It was way too much food. I took a little of the chicken, 1/2 cup of rice and the 1/2 cup of green beans.  I entered in my calories and I still had over 600 calories left for the day.  I picked the yogurt drink as a snack.  I entered in all my ingredients in the My Fitness Pal to see how many calories I had left.  I went and did my 45 minutes of cardio after finishing an event with a friend.  When it came time for supper I picked the food that I would get the most fulfillment, the leftover crockpot pork pasta won!  I had over 100 calories left for the day.  I couldn't decide if I wanted a cup of ice cream or some candy.  Well according the My Fitness Pal the Ice cream was over 200 calories and the 2 mini Reece's was only 88.  I choose wisely and ate the mini Reece's.  I finished with a total of 1280 calories for the day.   If I would have chosen the ice cream I would have gone over my calories.  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
