How many calories do you leave for dinner?

    I try to meal plan dinners a week ahead, or at least the night before. Of course with 2 full time working parents and a 4 year old and a 2 year old, that sometimes doesn't happen, lol. But most of the time, whenever I can, I know what I'm making for dinner at least the night before, so I add that first and then plan the rest of my day around it. It can range anywhere from 200 to 500 calories on a typical day, and then more for special evenings and such.

    Great idea :) I had not thought of planning ahead of time. Sounds fun :D

    Thanks to everyone else for replying. It sounds like many like to have a lot of calories left for dinner and some like to snack all day or just have a few for dinner. I will most likely stay in the have as many left as possible for dinner camp, but nice to read what others do :)
