On Friday (6/13) my daughter and I hung out and we literally ate whatever we wanted. I have a 1500 calorie per day limit and I went over by 185 calories (I had an extremely late but very light dinner, had I eaten a typical dinner I would have went over by more).
The bulk of my calories came from snacks! I had a kids scoop of vanilla ice cream with a brownie and pecans from Coldstones and half of a Cinnabon with a cup of 2% milk (yummy). Of course I went over my sugars (I always do, but not due to sweets). The good thing is I rarely go over any of my numbers so I guess you can say I have a reserve from what ever I don't use during the remainder of the week (although I don't look at it like that). I try not to worry so much about what I eat, but how much.
I will admit, I did get burn quite a few calories from walking so much so my net calories consumed for the day was 775. But even without the exercise I still feel that my caloric intake for the day wasn't bad!
Portion control is definitely the key! So next time you decide to splurge a little and treat yourself to a tasty snack remember PORTION CONTROL. Save some for tomorrow or share, until next time...be happy and eat healthy!
