☀️ breakfast

i skipped breakfast bc i woke up at like 11am and i wasnt hungry 😅

🥗 lunch

breakfast sandwich and a danish from my local cafe!! i kinda fudged/guesstimated the calories on these guys lol they were SO good tho, worth it

🍽️ dinner

my coworker made this absolutely DIVINE chicken, pepper, and potato dish yesterday and we had it for dinner tonight. SO yummy!

🥨 snacks

i didn’t really snack much today, surprisingly!! kinda spoiled myself and went over a bit with the coke at the end of the day but my birthdays this week, so id say its alright 🥰

... Read moreIn a journey towards weight management, I aimed for a caloric goal of 1450 calories, with a total intake of 1488 calories for the day. Remember, every individual's nutritional needs can differ, and it’s essential to use a TDEE calculator to establish your healthy calories. For breakfast, I started late and opted to skip as I wasn’t hungry by 11 AM. This can sometimes happen when you're adjusting to a new routine or fulfilling your body's hunger cues. Lunch featured a delightful breakfast sandwich alongside a sweet Danish from my local café, which I estimated calorically but felt was worth every bite due to the satisfaction it brought. Striking a balance between enjoyment and calorie management is key as you navigate eating out. Dinner was a highlight, enjoying a delicious homemade dish of chicken, peppers, and potatoes, showcasing how sharing meals with friends can enhance healthy eating. Adding more vegetables and protein can help you feel full while keeping calorie counts in check. For my snacks, I found it surprising that I indulged less, except for a cheeky Coke to celebrate my upcoming birthday—a small treat within a calorie count can make special occasions even better. Remember, flexibility in your diet, especially for celebrations, is part of a balanced strategy! Stay tuned for more daily eats and tips as I continue my health journey!
