    what did you eat? someone else here posted up how a big mac value meal with fries and coke are 1100 calories, and with that same amount of calories you could eat tons of other healthier food options. it was an illustrated picture and everything. i liked it so much, i printed it out and put it on the inside of my locker at work... will try and find it now.

    Thanks Everyone! I did much better today, and was under my calories today.

    Yesterday, I was more snacky (weekend) and I had lunch out, which killed my calories.

    But at least now I am learning what foods will "cost " me.
