It's time I take my weight loss seriously. The plan is to use CICO without starving myself or going cold turkey on certain foods. Today I lowered my usual lunch meal by a staggering amount of calories pretty easily. Is it enough food for one meal? What could I have done better? Any tips?
About 5x a week I was having ham and cheese tortilla rollups with a side of potato chips and a can of mountain dew for lunch. Looking through just what I had in stock at the house I modified it as such:
(honestly the calories on TYPICAL are low estimates. I was not measuring my food before today. It could very well be more than 1200 because of the cheese and ranch)
TYPICAL LUNCH=1200+cal
50g 4 thin slice sugar ham 60cal
74g 2 flour tortilla pueblindo 200cal
58g 4 tbsp ranch dressing 220cal
56g 1/2 cup gv fiesta blend 220cal
5g 4 gv pepperoni slices 35cal
56g 48 eves thin bbq chips 300cal
10g 2tsp taptio hot sauce 0cal
2 pinch of diced green onion
1 can mountain dew 170cal
TODAY'S LUNCH=365cal
50g 4 thin slice sugar ham 60cal
2 lettuce leaf wrap
10g 2 tsp gv mustard 0cal
56g 16 gv tortilla chip garlic 280cal
30g 2 tbsp gv chunky salsa 10cal
2 pinch of diced green onion
6 jalapeno slices
(I am not sure how to calculate the colories on greens like the lettuce, onions, or jalapenos but I can't imagine they would put it over 400)
One obvious fix to me are switching the chips and salsa with something else. My eating habits psychologically force me to have a side with anything sandwich-like. The problem? We had nothing but chips! No other vegetables/fruits other than canned ones and no crackers. Next time I go shopping I will definitely fix that problem.
gv = great value walmart brand of food shopping on a budget.
