I think yesterday's meals were interesting for me, in that I ate pretty consistently, but all low-cal stuff.
Two ears of corn with two pats of butter, app. 350 calories. Shrimp and crab claws with cocktail sauce - app. 200 calories. Melon balls with a little Cool Whip on top - app. 200 calories. One fruit popsicle - 80 calories. Five thin slices of Oscar Mayer ham - 45 calories. One granola bar - 100 calories. Total calorie intake: 975. If I can't lose weight on 975 calories, then I don't know what. Especially after a two-mile jog. Normally, if I'm exercising, I can lose weight eating anything under 1500 calories. Counting calories has always been the easiest and most successful way for me to lose weight. The other successful way is to count fat grams along with the calories, and to eat under 20 fat grams a day, which I think I did yesterday.
