    Breakfast: 1 serving proteins shake( receipe:2scoops of chocolate protein powder; 1 banana, 1 apple, 3 handfuls of spinach, 2cups low fat milk, 1 celery stalk) approx 200 cals

    Snack: PBJ sandwhich - approx 150cal

    I don't understand how the protein shake is 200 and PB&J sandwich is 150 with those ingredients. 2 cups of 1% milk is 110 calories, 2 cups of 2% is 122 calories. I'm not sure how a whole banana, a whole apple, and 2 scoops of protein powder can possibly be under 90 calories??? Unless the recipe makes more than 1 serving?

    And PB&J sandwich at 150 doesn't make sense to me unless it was cut in half or something. 2 tbsp of peanut butter alone is around 180 calories.

    Not trying to be rude or anything, I just genuinely don't understand those calorie estimates. They sound too good to be true! :laugh:
