Couldn't figure out how I was loosing weight so quickly then I figured it out. I would eat every day for breakfast something from Dunkin Donuts. I just did the Calorie count for one of the sandwiches I really liked. It is the new Turkey Sausage Sandwich which has 390 calories. I ate one everyday, that means I was eating 1950 calories a week just in breakfast alone. Some days I would have a Bacon Egg and Cheese on a Bagel which was 530 calories for one sandwich. I am in shock, I never really thought about it till now. Without eating that Turkey Sausage Sandwich every day I have saved 1175 calories. I am having a protein shake instead every day with my coffee only adds up to 155 calories every morning.

I guess you just never know until you sit down and really figure it out. Thank goodness for MFP

390 calories isn't really that much. I would never eat that much early in the day, but I know tons of people that eat a lot more than that for breakfast.

Knowleadge is a powerful thing!!

lilRicki

not, it's not that much... I can easily eat 500 calories for breakfast, but i have a lot of different food and it takes me a while to eat it

I dont think 300 calories for breakfast is a lot. I have the same breakfast sandwich the only difference is that i make it at home with turkey bacon and a thin slice of cheese.

I think these people are missing the point.. lol


awesome job on the weight loss & now you can remember to check up on what you're eating before you put it in your mouth

Yup they are and that's ok. That is alot of calories for someone who is super overweight. Now I know and I am more aware of what is going into my mouth.

Yes, that eye opening thing really helps me, too! I love this site.

That isn't very many calories. I have to eat at least 400 cals for breakfast to hit my goal by the end of the day. Of course I don't eat fast food, I love to cook and it is a lot cheaper.
