the real calories of food. Yikes. 1/2 cheese sandwich 350 calories, more than a McDonald's cheeseburger. I thought if I halved it, it would be a modest portion. No wonder a whole cheese sandwich was making me heavy. The mayonnaise is almost 1/3 of the calories.SO NO MORE MAYONNAISE... it's not worth it. Not a good choice. Look for a good mayonnaise substitute.
Occasionally I am happy to find a food is low in calories, such as mango salsa 20 cals for two tblsp. and all the vegetabl...
Wow! I'm liking these lower numbers

I saw 172.8 for the first time in several years. Whoo hoo. I love CalorieKing.It's a snow day in Seattle, but oddly enough there is no snow yet. It was promised and schools closed with the promise of a huge storm. It seems to have hit every BUT Seattle.
OUCH ! the gym scales gives me considerably higher numbers. 176.0 So what's the real score? Of course I was wearing more clothes but not 4 lbs of clothes.
No snow storm yet. Expect to go to work tomorrow.

Logging food accurately is forcing me to choose better foods! It works. If I don't, I go over my limit. Also I am learning calories and fat for different foods. And slowly day by day I learn to make better choices.A McDonalds cheesburger is 300, but the happy meal was almost 600 BECAUSE of the fries. Fries are bad. Even adding to this blog is a good habit which makes me more conscious about what I am doing.

And by the way, all ...
