What I ate today in a calorie deficit 1/25

Weigh in this morning- down 1 lb

Today I’ll be honest, I overate so much. My calories were too high and I know for a fact I’ll be up in weight tomorrow. It’s so discouraging when I was making such great progress this week.

Breakfast- I had my cereal bar and a premier protein shake.

Lunch- apple, mini crackers and lite cheese. Topped it off with a ninja creami ice cream 🙈

Dinner- when to Cracker Barrel. Had TWO biscuits and jelly. Had the new fried chicken dippers (AMAZING), fried apples, and corn.

Dessert- I made mini cupcakes. And secretly ate some of the batter and icing 😖 don’t judge.

... Read moreBalancing a calorie deficit can be challenging, especially when faced with temptation. Calorie counting not only helps track food intake but also promotes mindful eating. For breakfast, opting for a protein shake and a cereal bar provides essential nutrients to kickstart the day. For lunch, combining fruits with light snacks supports healthy choices without feeling deprived. An impactful dinner choice, such as the new fried chicken dippers from Cracker Barrel, can feel indulgent while still fitting into a calorie-conscious lifestyle. Remember to savor desserts like mini cupcakes in moderation, and it’s okay to occasionally enjoy the batter! Learning to navigate these challenges can strengthen your resilience on your fitness journey. Stay motivated and aware of how food impacts your goals, but don't hesitate to indulge occasionally. Finding a balance between enjoyment and health is key to sustainable eating habits.
