So much for going under. My target was 390. My original amount was 490. I was well over. First, I think I over estimated the calories in beans. I looked at the bean calorie content. The entire can has 380 calories. So it is not possible to get 300 in one meal and 200 in the second if they are all from the same can. I think my miscalculations caused me to get less protein than I needed. Anyway, last night I ate the entire block of tofu. 500 calories. Plus it was fried in some olive oil, so about 580 calories really. I also had two rolls at 140 each plus about 100 calories of cheese with that. A total of 880 just for dinner. 390 over what my target was. I was very full. But I think I needed the extra calories. Consuming fewer calories is starting to take its toll on my body. I was really dragging on my way home. I haven't been that tired in quite awhile. Going 400 calories over every once in a while is ok. So on to today. 300 calories for my morning drink (put less pineapple in it). 100 calories for my morning banana. Lunch is supposed to be blackbeans and cheese but I think I might go out, so that is a wild card. Dinner. Well, I suppose dinner will depend on whether I go out to lunch or not. Lets see. If I don't take lunch till 1, then I don't have to be back till 2. I can have my snack at 4 and be ready to ride by six. On the other hand, it does seem a shame to waste the food I brought for lunch if I go out. Hmm. Decisions decisions
