How much more food I can eat when I'm eating right!

I just made some lunch...shredded 6.5 oz of chicken, tossed it in a skillet to cook with some spices, mixed in 3/4 cup jasmine rice, added some taco sauce, and rolled in up in 2 whole wheat tortillas. Freaking amazing, and I could barely finish all that food! So, for ~450 calories, I am STUFFED on all that chicken, and won't be hungry in 2 hours like I would be if I had eaten 450 calories of junk!

    Its amazing to me how much a pile of good calorie food looks next to a pile of bad of equal calories. HUGE pile vs itty bitty pile. I am never able to eat my whole pile of good, and wont even scratch the surface of exercise calories. Eating healthy and clean is so filling. nom nom nom :)

    I was thinking that as I made my dinner last night -- it looked like 2 servings (and it was -- saving the 2nd serving for today), and it was still under 300 calories for it (it was veggies with grounded turkey and eggs, yum!!)

    I love eating healthy. Once you get used to it there is no desire for the fast food. I just drive right on by. Can't wait to get home and get my own food. I pack it in an ice chest if I need to be out and about. So much less expensive as well.

    So true. I look at my diary and the list of things I eat a day is HUGE and is still under calories.

    OR I could eat one piece of carrot cake from Cheesecake Factory for 1510 and be over for the day by 200! :laugh:

    That is a really good idea. I never thought about that. But I will do it from now on.
