Calorie Counting.

According to National Health Advisory Board, adults should intake between 2000 and 2500 calories a day, depending on age, body type, and activity. I thought that seemed ridiculously minuscule so I google'd a calorie counter and examined what I would consider a typical day of eating. Mind you, there are several days in the week when I simply don't get around to eating any breakfast or lunch and simply binge-eat dinner. I'm not examining those days, however, and looking at what I would call "Typical" daily intake. Let's not even look at a Gaming day, or a Friday binge eating extravaganza.....actually, to come to think of it, I think I will.

So as for "Typical":

1. Post Frosted Mini Wheat's, Bite-sized, 1 1/2 cups: 280

2. With accompanying 1 1/2 cups of skim milk: 16

3. Starbucks chilled Mocha Frap: 510

4. Lunch: this is going to vary depending on what I'm jonesin for but I usually imbibe on something tasty, relatively healthy, and made fresh from a NON chain eatery. But considering I can't google something made by Juventa at the corner Peruvian Eatery, I'll examine my typical meal at Popeye's:
Biscuit: 240
Cajun Rice and Gravy Side: 320
Spicy Breast: 360
Spicy Thigh: 300
Diet Coke Medium: 0

5. Dinner: (last night's)
Salad: Mixed Greens and Spinach: 34
Salad Dressing, Brianna's Blue Cheese 2 tablespoons: 152
Large Cilantro, Tequila Lime Lamb Burger with Blue Cheese, tomato, and mayo on
a Parmesan toasted Ciabatta Roll: 600 (give or take)
Grilled corn on the cob drizzled with butter: 157

6. Snack: (last night's)
Two slices of sourdough piled with 4 Italian cheeses and 12 slices of
pepperoni: Bread: 263, Cheese 63, Pepperoni, 135 = Total: 461.

7. Dessert: Fat free Pina Colada yogurt: 115

For a grand total of : 3545!! Holy Crap...I was already over the top by lunch.

Actually, forget about looking at a bad day of eating like this past Saturday's GoG.

I'm off to lunch!...I'm craving Salt Fish Fried Rice...MMMM...2000 calories of yummy goodness in one shot.
