It was surprising to see how many calories I consumed yesterday. The total is not too terrible particularly because I consumed many high fiber foods. Still, I consumed more calories than I was hoping for. My target is approximately 1600 to 1700 calories. The ground chuck hamburger was higher in calories than I expected. At the same time, the cholesterol in the ground chuck was lower than what I expected. I will definitely be limiting the amount of hamburger of any type that I eat. I can cut the calories of the meat by making smaller patties and then I can still have the occasional hamburger so that I may have greater variety for my taste buds Once again, I am learning through this accountability of the little changes that I can make to improve my diet.
