I've received several emails asking what i eat and how much. I am basicallly counting calories. I try to measure and weigh what i eat. Of course when eating out i can not do this, but i have a pretty good idea what a serving looks like after doing it. I try to stay within a 1500 calorie diet and preferrably i like to stay between 1000-1200 during the week and eat closer to the 1500 when i go out to eat on weekends.

Here is what i had to eat today ....

Breakfast ..... grapefruit with splenda

snack .... an orange

Lunch ... grapefruit with splenda

Dinner .... 1 cup of home made chili, with 1/2 c of corn chips & 1/3 shredded cheese

snack ... 1c sugar free jell-o, orange and 20 grapes

Total calories eaten today .... 980

Hope you all have a wonderful day ... until next time ....
