i had to laugh...

i'm doing 1200 net calories per day, and i usually eat 6 small meals per day. i'm allergic to wheat, and yesterday my son convinced me to buy a trader joe's frozen gluten free mac and cheese. one container is 2 servings, but for my calorie needs is 4 servings. loving mac and cheese, when dinnertime came i eagerly heated up the container, then pulled out my scale and measured out the 1/4 container in grams.

a 1/4 portion (170 calories) was so tiny sitting there in the bowl that i laughed when i saw it. it looked like about 4 tablespoons, which for all i know it was. it was tasty, though

170 calories is a meal!? :noway:

Ha! I've been there, once or twice. Those kind of meals remind me of the gum from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory where each chew represents a course of dinner
