I woke up this morning and thought I will fix something different for breakfast.:happy: So I decided to fix waffles (BELGIUM WAFFLES). I ate one with syrup and it cost me 800+ calories.:noway: I only have 1200 calories for the whole day. I am so bummed.:grumble: Something like this really makes you see how nieve we are to calories. Guess that is why I have gotten to 220lbs.:sad: Guess now I just have to work-out super hard to burn them off.

    I sooo understand... when I journal and haven't "planned" in advance I am blown away by the calorie count. I can't be surprised any longer WHY I ended up so heavy when I see the numbers. :embarassed:

    Just be sure to exercise today, and get some of your calories back! Lunges for 20 minutes will get you back about 350 of them! :happy: Oh, Belgian waffles sound so good, though! I can't believe how many calories are in the syrup alone!!! :sad: What's a waffle without syrup????:frown:

    Don't let it stop you!!! You still have the rest of the day to get in a good walk and some exercise! Breakfast will be worked off in no time!!!:heart:

    I've had that happen to me so many times. That's why I try my hardest to plan my meals ahead of time! Especially if you eat out!!! :flowerforyou:

    Just work out super hard and you will be fine! :drinker:

    well buy the frozen eggo waffles, they are 180 calories per 2 waffles...lol, thats what I do. I add my butter and two tablespoons of syrup and it comes up to about 280 calories. Hope this helps!!

    You can use the frozen Eggo waffles and I Can't Believe It's Butter spray with a sugar free syrup and lower the calories to 215. The sugar free syrup uses sugar alcohol for sweetness and really isn't treated as a sugar when your body processes it. Most of sugar alcohol is indigestible and exits the body as waste products.
