I was around most of the day so eating is now a habit of being mindful, but there are the times when I am in town and 4-5 hours has passed and I am hungry, I still try to be mindful.
I used to go for fish, its healthy, right? Not at Captain D`s.
How about chicken? Sure but not at KFC
So? Where the heck can I eat and not consume 1500 calories?
I chose Arby`s chicken tenders, they are huge and will fill me up, with only 360 calorie, however, I do not use any dipping sauce. All of it had to much sugar for me.
How many calories did I have today?
Breakfast - 3 eggs and salsa = 230
Lunch - Arby`s = chicken tenders = 360
Snack - cottage cheese and peaches = 200
Dinner - salmon patties = 400
Total = 1190
Since I couldnt go walking because of the dry storm, I took a nap. That being said I might have another snack before I got to bed around 3 am.
How was your day? Did you chow down or were you mindful of what you ate?

I never track calories like that, very interesting perspective. and like that it sounds like it works for you. I can basically eat what I want and never worry, people so hate me, but at the same time I am usually pretty active and when not the our dogs make me. They very high energy dogs, get off your butt and come play with us, but I just want to sit here and Veg, to bad.

The doctor wanted me to do this for four months, I am now beginning the 3 rd. I have lost 9 pounds. I still eat junk, I would probably lose more of I was good and didnt eat junk.
Naaa, I ain`t a hater. People are different.

@andriaperry I would still like to lose about 20 pounds. But with the A1C under control I am not worried about pushing as hard now to get it off. But I know it would help my blood pressure too if I can lose more.

I ate a small cheeseburger and later on some leftover food from the Arab restaurant I went with Leticia when we went to the hospital. I ended up the day with a small omelet and a yogurt.

@andriaperry you count only the calories, but, what about the fats (there are bad fats), the sugar, the salt? Those are not good for you. I look for vitamins, minerals, nutral fats that don't damage, antioxidants...

I did have another snack of peaches and cottage cheese, so add 140 to my calories.

@TheHorse Tangy, with a light bbq flavor, it reminds me of Heinz 57 with bbq and worchestershire sauce mixed up.

I used to think the fish with slaw and green beans was a good choice, but 1,000 calories or more?!?!?! I don`t even like their hush puppies.

You are doing so good with the calories Angie.
I was very mindful yesterday but I am not sure if it helped.

@andriaperry I think with people being more health-conscious, more restaurants are including that information.
