– Dates & salted caramel ice cream scoop (couldn’t find this exact one in the app so I estimated based on something similar)
Today did not feel restricted at all. My meals were so good and filling.
What I would have done differently in the past that would make this easily 2000+ kcal:
– With the breakfast I wouldn’t have measured the granola and definitely would have put more in there. Also I would have added raisins which add up quickly.
– With the dinner I used to cook this dish with crème fraiche instead of sour cream and I would have definitely added more cheese. It was the first time I made this dish since I started counting calories in March. Before that I used to eat it pretty much every week because it’s so fast and easy to make and super tasty. It’s good to see that I can make it with less calories and make it just as tasty and have it fit into my daily budget. Also I felt super full after eating it; next time I’ll use less of everything but the vegetables.
– Ice cream: pre-calorie counting me would definitely have taken two scoops to try different flavors. Today, one was enough to satisfy my sweet tooth and I know that I can always try another one another day when it fits my calories.
Hope you guys had a good day as well.
