OK... here is my reporting in......
My BMR = 2083 + I burned 1011 calories (45 minutes on the Elliptical, 30 minutes Abs) - 730 less calories to get to my goal = 2364 calorie food budget.
Pre-Breakfast (starting at 6am instead of 8:30-9am) : 170 calories Toasted Nutz N Cranberry Luna Bar & Water
Breakfast: 170 calories Toasted Nutz N Cranberry Luna Bar & Water
Snack: 154 calories handfull of sesame sticks (not really a good thing as these are fried and high in sodium) & Water
Snack: 170 calories Toasted Nutz N Cranberry Luna Bar & Water
You sure like them Luna bars, eh?  I used to have to 'ration' mine, but now that I have boxes of them I can eat them much more freely - it's lovely!
Lunch (around 2:30pm is a normal time for me): 305 calories 6oz Tuna w/Light Mayo, 1 oz Pretzels & Water
I think I am going to start having this for lunch sometimes too - I love tuna. And pretzels. Score.
Before Gym: 210 calories Soytein Energy Drink (Chocolate w/Vanilla Silk Soy Milk) & Water
At the Gym: 7 calories 2 Altoids
Dinner (between 8-8:30pm, after the gym): 613 calories  10" Flour Tortilla w/3oz Chicken Breast, 1-1/2 cup Boil in bag rice (this was the high calorie item, I usually use basmati and only 3/4 cup, the bag did not look like it had THAT much in there... but it was late and this saved me 15 mins, but the payoff was more caloires  ), 2 Tablespoons Salsa, 1 Tablespoon Avocado & Water
Fiber Pills: 2.25 calories total
Total Water intake (goal 128oz)  = 96 oz
Total of 1801.25 .....still in my food budget  Well, your dinner might have been higher than you wanted it but it sounds yummy and you were still within your budget so no worries, right??
Sounds like you are still doing your regular amount of kick-butt. So so proud of you!!

Thanks Shell! According to him, more won't hurt you (although, I would bet MUCH more would)- but there's no evidence that it's any more effective either.

Lunch (around 2:30pm is a normal time for me): 305 calories 6oz Tuna w/Light Mayo, 1 oz Pretzels & Water
I think I am going to start having this for lunch sometimes too - I love tuna. And pretzels. Score. What I do it drain just a TINY amount of the water (I prefer Chicken of the Sea brand), add 1-1/2 tablespoons light mayo and refrigerate over night. Then I pack in my lunch with refreezable ice packs and a spoon. At lunch I open my container of mixed tuna and crush up my pretzels into the container....mix it all up and eat it very slow.... the little bit of salt that is on the pretzels is great and you get that "crunch" so you really feel like your eating a lot more then you really are. ENJOY!!

I'm now in search of a low sodium salsa... the one I've been using is 210 mg per 2 tablespoons. I'd prefer to find one already made, but if worse comes to worse I'll find a recipe and make a big batch of it.

Yes, she has told me in the past that TOO MUCH can be a bad thing.... not really for your health, but more for your goal of burning fat

Yes, indeed Shell--those cherries are potent and have quite the bm relaxing quality. I had to do a wee bit more Immodium, today for my cheeky indulgence.
Re: Rainbow Chard
It's not fish!!! It's a leafy green vegetable in the same family as spinach and beets. The "Rainbow" refers to a combination of chards--red, green, yellow. I like tossing spinach in with them and eating them with BEETS!!! Or carrots. Or sometimes steamed green bananas (not plantains). Or I make a mango or banana dressing/smoothie to eat beforehand. Or spaghetti squash. They're great with most sf--and I emphasize the sf part. Having eliminated raw salads from my diet (HUGE D trigger), I eat the steamed/pureed very much "adult" babyfood greens cold and as a salad usually with delight and NO PAIN!
But those cherries--they are sweet. No wonder most tummy meds., i.e. Peptobismal has a cherry flavour.
Kate, IBS-D.
