Calorie Counter

Ok, so I told you that I had a banana, about a cup of grapes, and half of an orange for breakfast. I found a calorie counter here: http://thecaloriecounter.com/Search.aspx and I am using the numbers from here to keep track.

Banana: 105 calories,  0.4 g fat
1 cup grapes: 110 calories, 0.3 g fat
1/2 orange: 35 calories, 0.2 g fat

So ok, I took in 250 calories, but less than a gram of fat. This is much better than taking in 250 calories and 25 g of fat, right?? Of course it is. These have got to be the better calories. Ok, so now that I know I took in 250 so far today, that leaves me with (and I am starting off with no more than 2000 calories a day I think) 1750 calories that I can still ingest today. Since I am having veges for lunch, I know I won't get them all in during that meal. That means, I am not so worried to have one piece of fried chicken tonight. Already I do not feel as though I am being deprived. In all actuality, I usually don't even eat a lot during the day anyway but they are all bad calories. For instance, I normally have a sausage, egg and cheese croissant for breakfast, then whatever I can scrounge up during the day, if anything, for lunch, then pig out for dinner because I haven't eaten decent all day. Right now I feel satisfied and not hungry. And since it is now 10:30 that means that I can soon eat again before I head out for work. Once I get going on this I want to be able to eat when I get up in the morning before I go to work. I have never really liked to eat that early, but I have heard it is better to eat within an hour of getting out of bed. May have to check up on that and see if it makes a difference. One thing I do like to do is take some V8 juice with me. I just didn't pick any up today, but maybe later.

Ok, time to go see just how many calories are in that fried chicken drumstick I plan to have for dinner. It MAY change my mind. LOL
