I Ate a Breakfast Burrito

Part of the deal here on my journey to get in better health and lose weight is counting my calories. I hate counting my calories! However, a friend of mine recommended going to TheDailyPlate.com and that's what you do there...count calories. Only I'm finding it really fun on this site...you can do a search for ANYTHING you eat and you'll see not only your calorie breakdown, but your nutritional numbers as well.

One other thing...you can have your daily suggested calorie intake calculated as well. Mine stands at 2,933 per day. My weight, height, and goal of losing 1.5 pounds per week is calculated in.



So, I promised you earlier to give a breakdown on my homemade breakfast burrito (and 1/2 glass of fruit punch) I ate this morning...well, duh...breakfast! I'm not going to get into anything else but calories for now.

This was a really basic breakfast burrito. I did not have time or the ingredients to make it fancy. Here it is:

3 eggs scrambled: 280
1 7" corn tortilla: 70
3 oz. of shredded lite cheese: 210
1 tbsp. ketchup: 20
4 oz. fruit punch: 35

TOTAL: 615 calories

Not bad, huh? Especially considering I had 2,318 calories remaining to eat for the rest of the day. Speaking of which, my day went kind of funny with what I ate in addition to the burrito so far. I will not get into particulars right now, but let's leave it at telling you that one of the items was an old-fashioned chocolate donut. (get you the calorie count later)

Hey, I still have the rest of the day to just chill and do good!

I'm not into country, but I'm going to a Barn Dance and BBQ tonight sponsored by a local church I used to attend. I pray I eat in moderation!
