I've been at the weight loss game for years; making sure to eat veggies, getting in my exercise, thought I was all up on nutrition and had a good idea about what I've been putting in my body. I've calorie counted before and have been trying to get back in the habit, but had a bit of a wake up call this morning when I actually logged what I was eating. Lately one of my go to meals is dry oats + a ripe banana + almond milk + cocoa powder + peanut butter, all mashed together, pretty tasty/nutritious right? Now I know about how calorific PB is and try not to go overboard with that, but didn't pay much mind to the oats, figuring they're super healthy/can't be that bad right? Man, a cup of uncooked oats is 300 calories. %#$!@! I added it all up and I'm at 590 for that meal.
*sigh* Live and learn; its not the end of the world and will just have to adjust for the rest of the day.
But once more for the people in the back, just because something is 'good for you'/ has a lot a of nutritional value, doesn't mean its low in calories, capiche?
Its really not that hard to count calories, you'll thank yourself later, I just wanted to post this to maybe save someone else some grief. Hang in there everybody! Its a marathon, not a sprint ;)
