May 16, 2008: First day of multi, mini meal plan
Posted by Jennifer
Doing this was a lot easier than I thought it would be… though I had to, on more than one occasion, say to myself (outloud): “Jennifer, the meals have to be smaller in order for this to work.”
That said, apart from the cake, I’m quite pleased with myself.
| Meal | Food | Drink | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| meal 1: 8:00am | banana | 100 |
| Sub-total | 100 | |
| meal 2: 10:00am | peach yogurt w/fiber one cereal sprinkled in | 200 |
| Sub-total | 200 | |
| meal 3: 1:30pm | wilted spinach with no more than 2 oz grilled chicken | 80 |
| 2 tbls peanut butter | 180 | |
| Sub-total | 260 | |
| meal 4: 4:30pm | 100 calorie pack crackers | 100 |
| Sub-total | 100 | |
| meal 5: 6:30pm | wilted spinach with 5 oz grilled chicken | 170 |

Well done on your calorie count for the day! It really doesn’t matter if you had cake. Maybe the cake will mean you stay on the diet? I always find that if I deny myself, then I lose interest quickly.

Good total. I hope that you find it easy to get into a routine within a week.
Did you eat when you felt hungry or spread things out deliberately? Were you hungry between meals?
Do you keep cake in your house? What kind of cake is it? Something you have to slice? 300 calories is one entire meal for me. You said there are 100-calorie snack packets in America. Are there individually-wrapped 100-calorie cakes? If so, it’d make it SO much easier to have a small amount of cake without having a meal’s worth of calories.
