Counting Calories

Good morning! Off to a later start today. My sleeping schedule is such a mess. Surely if I could sleep normaly I would have a much better day.

How does everyone else count their calories?

I use this program on my Android phone (love it!) that counts my calories for me. You can even scan an item and usually it finds it and puts it in the food list for the day. It tallies everything up so you know how much you have left to eat. I actually went to bed last night with a few calories to spare! According to this program for my height, weight and activity level (non existant!) I need to consume 2000 calories. Initially I thought this was a lot! But, now that I see that even eating 2000 calories I was STILL hungry and really wanted to make some bad food choices I can see where this is probably a large decrease in my daily intake :( and thus the reason for my obesity....I hate the sound of that.

My food choices for the day:

Breakfast:
1 Slice of french bread with cheese

Lunch:
Hotdog on a white/wheat bun
1 serving of baked french fries /w ketchup

Dinner:
Zaxby's house salad /w grilled chicken
1 packet of light ranch dressing

Snacks: (my downfall)
15 Wheat thins
1 serving of Laughing Cow cheese
1 cup of watermelon
1 Activia Strawberry Fiber yogurt
1 cup of cherries /w pits
1 spiced chai tea /c skim milk and splenda

I got up this morning and the scale said........254.8!!! I must of done something right!

Have a great day everyone!
