Day 1: 320-470 calories

Believe me when I say that I actually plan on posting photos of my daily food.

Alas, today is not the day, though I would like to share with you my intake.

First off, I can't say I am a very good role model when it comes to food, or to dieting even. I'm learning to control myself.

I typically eat one meal a day.
If I eat more often, the portions are more 'snack-ish' (one apple).

Seeing is believing, though, so see you will.

---

1 apple (80 calories)
1 Subway Veggie Delite salad (50 calories*)
1 Apple Pie Larabar (190 calories)

---

Total: 320-470 calories.

This isn't a typical meal for me, by any stretch of the imagination. First, I rarely ever eat out. No fast food, no Subway, nothing. Second, I typically do not eat bars, yet I have been hearing a lot about Larabars. I want to add some healthy fats into my diet, and to be honest, eating nuts, or meat, or oil, or avocados in their natural form somewhat freaks me out. There is nothing freaky or chemical in a Larabar, just dates, nuts, apples and cinnamon. If anything, it will give me some energy and a bit of healthy fats, hopefully enough to allow my skin and hair to be less dry.

*As for the salad, both Calorieking.com and Subway say that a Veggie Delite salad has 50 calories. I must be crazy, because I know vegetables are relatively low-cal, but I'm having a really hard time believing that my salad had 50 calories. This, my lovers, is why I my daily intake ranges from 320-470.

I'd rather be safe and truthful to myself than blind or in denial.
