Ok, slightly inspired by Ruchie's post about eating enough calories, and going to this site: web page that Shell sent me to compute my BMR....I realized I'm probably not eating enough calories per day. So I am going to start counting them, not to lose weight, but to attempt to be a little healthier. I was so dead yesterday afternoon, and then I realized I'd only eaten about 800 calories thus far that day, and that was probably why I felt cruddy! So here's yesterday:
breakfast: toasted plain bagel with pumpkin butter 321 calories
At work: cup of unsweetened applesauce, Garlic Mashed Potatoes , a Tasty Lowfat Vegan Blueberry Muffin , 2 No Pudge Brownies 524 calories
Dinner: pasta with Prego Garden Combination sauce and half a bagel 415 calories
Snack: mini pretzels 220 calories
Total: 1480 calories
My BMR is 1336, and I said I was moderately active, since I do have my 20 minute walk to campus and 20 minute walk home most days, not to mention random running around at work, which means I should be eating about 1737 calories, so I really need to eat more during the day. Eating all those calories last night with dinner and the pretzels helped my calories for the overall day, but I think were too much for my tummy to handle, since I was having pains most of the night. So yes, kick my butt and get me to eat more during the day! I know eating a peanut butter and jelly bagel isn't the healthiest lunch, but for today, that's what I'm eating since it's so high in calories. Any idea for more high calorie lunches and easy to transport snacks for while I'm on campus all day?
