Arrow Here's One for Ya

One day a few months ago, I found the website DietFacts.com. I decided to look up things I used to eat. OH MY GOD! I had NO friggin' idea how many calories I actually ate each day!

For an example, I looked up how many calories are in a large chocolate shake from Jack in the Box. I used to LOOOOOVE those things...probably had one at least every week or ten days as a treat. Wanna guess the caloric lowdown???!!

1310 calories
513 calories from fat
57g fat
178g carbs
158g sugar
31 points on Weight Watchers

Holy mother of...and I wondered how I got fat! I now eat less than 1300 total calories most DAYS!

It's just amazing the level of denial in a MO person. I'm so happy I am no longer an ostrich with my head buried in the sand. Thank God for FitDay.com to keep me honest!
