1,600 Calorie Diet - Day One

I have been do the 1,600 calorie diet since beginning of January. And I thought I would give you update every day this week to what I am eating and what to watch out for. You will be amazed which I was on how many calories are in certain food that which we eat everyday.

For instance, do you know that '1 cup of Quaker, Instant Oatmeal Express is 198 compare to '1 packet of Quaker, Instant Oatmeal is 145 (both dry and baked apple flavor). That difference of 50 calories alone, you can add milk or butter in your cereal. You have to read the labels on the packages before you buy. Here is another example about eggs, for one large egg is 80 calories but do you know the yellow yoke in the egg is 60 calories alone and the whites are 20. WOW. No wonder diets always push on the whites and trash the yoke. I usually give the yoke to my dog or you give it the cat to eat. Its good for them and makes their coat hair shiny.

265 = Breakfast : (155, Cheerios, skim milk)(110, 1 banana)
180 = 10 am : (0, hot green tea w/ no honey)(180, toasted p.b. crackers)
290 = Lunch : (30, about 2 cups leaf)(70, lite ranch)(70, fresh pineapple)(70, orange)(50, 5 cherry tomatoes)
70 = 3 pm : one orange
420 = Dinner : (200, fish)(100, 3 small red potatoes)(120, coconut oil)
170 = Dessert : (ice cream sandwich, the lite kind)(orange)

Total calories = 1400 (I always leave a little extra for cooking, you never know about cooking food gives more calories in the fat)
- 50 calories from doing exercise
