Cheese Grit's and Grilled Hot Dog

Tuesday October 11, 2016 MENU

For breakfast I made some homemade grits.  Or I attempted to.  I put the grits on to boil and my mom came behind me and put cheese in it.  Well I had budgeted a cup and a half of grits for breakfast.  Now with the addition of cheese I cut my portion to 1 cup of cheese grits.  So this is a case where you have to take into consideration what ingredients are put in the item to decide on a portion size.  I had a small snack between breakfast and lunch.  When lunch time came I ate the BBQ sausage and the half of my pork steak from the other day.  I had weighed it all before I left home to get my portion weight.   I went and did my 20 minutes of cardio and 40 min weight training when I got home.  My mother had all the items out for supper when I got home.  She wanted grilled hot dogs.  So she had this fancy Hawaiian bread and all the fixings out for the hot dogs and was cooking some hash browns.   I grilled the hot dogs and out of all the fixings I choose just mayonnaise.  I skipped on the cheese and everything else.  Next time I eat this kind of bun for my hot dog I will split the bun and only eat half with each hot dog link.  That evening I wanted something yummy as a snack and I got a snack size of a Butterfinger candy.   I finished the day with a total of 1137 calories for the day.  I was under by 193 calories.   So I really could have had 2 hot dogs with the one Hawaiian bun.  Oh well maybe next time.  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
