My goal this week is to count calories every day. Every. I've been falling away from the habit, and just relying on estimating. I guess I just had too much confidence in myself, which is obvious from today's mistake. Read on....
Here's a question of the day:
Which of the following has the most calories?
A. One cranberry-orange club sandwich
or...
B. Three McDonald's cheeseburgers
Yes, you probably saw it coming. The correct answer is A. Dumb. So annoyed.
To my surprise, today at work we were catered in really yummy sandwiches from a local sandwich shop. Yes! Free lunch, and it's semi-healthy, too!
...Or so I thought.
As I went in to my online calorie tracker, I was absolutely horrified. One sandwich. Actually, I only ate about three quarters, but one club sandwich had 976 calories. 976 calories!!!!! Three McDonald's cheeseburgers don't even have that many calories combined!
Ok, so I'm not advocating that the burgers are more worth it than the sandwich, but I guess this scenario made me learn the lesson (once again) the hard way. Just because I think something sounds or looks healthy, doesn't always mean that's the case. Sounds elementary, but this incident was one I really wasn't planning on, and I guess I'll try my best to learn the lesson for once and all.
That being said, my calories are all used up for today. So excited to eat celery for dinner.
