Calories
Alright so today I have been watching how many calories to see if maybe I'm just starving myself from all the posts of what people eat on the post that I did before.
So..here it goes..for breakfast..i didnt eat because I wasn't hungry.
Which I know i overate lastnight...and i woke up this morning not even hungry..even after i walked.. i wasn't hungry..
So around 20 till 11..i was hungry so i brought me some refried beans..whole wheat flour tortillas and a yogurt..the tortillas are the small ones
So i had two burritos..no cheese or anything..which was 160 calories for the tortillas.. and 60 for the refried beans..thanks to Christa for the two sites..fitday.com and thedailyplate.com..
and then i had my yogurt which was 45
SOOO..so far today..its after noon..i have only had 265 calories..so its like duh no wonder why through the day i feel like i am so hungry..i am starting to realize just how important the snacks are...i just need to find me some good snacks now..i know veggies and fruits..and some have mentioned the string cheese! which i LOVE..but just had to post..

Yeah string cheese is a have to have..and i keep yogurt at the house..and i keep turkey breast meat in there too..i just bring enough to work for the day so I can't over eat...
Yeah i am going to have to go to that site and check it out..i figure when i get home..when i get the boys to sleep..i will log on there and check it out..sounds like its a really good site. I went on there to see the calories in refried beans which i thought was so cool that you could do that..so i will have to figure out what it says about how many calories i should be having a day..
Thank you for all the info..it helps!!

I like string cheese too. To give it a twist, I throw it in the microwave and get it semi soft.. and then pull it from the pack. Also you could eat it with some grape tomatoes plain or you can cut up a few grape tomatoes, add a couple tablespoons of pizza sauce, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper and mix. Pull the warm cheese, eat a few spoons of the mixture together. Nice snack either way.
