Calories, Oh Calories

I looked these numbers up a while ago and have been debating on posting them, but it is pretty crazy to see so I will. This was an average full day (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner) for me before I decided to be smart about my health and food habits...

Breakfast: McDonald's

2x Sausage, Egg, & Cheese Biscuits
1 Hashbrown
Sm. Orange Juice

Lunch: Taco Bell

3x Chicken Burrito w/Red Sauce

Dinner: Somewhere late night (IHOP)

2x2x2 (Bacon, Eggs, Pancakes w/syrup & butter)
Hashbrowns
3x Mt. Dew

Drinks/Snacks:  Usually after midnight

2 Liter Mt. Dew (I would drink this throughout the day)
Big Bowl Cereal w/sugar & milk
Chips (aprox. 3 servings)
Something Sweet (i.e. Vanilla Wafers)

Calorie Count: 6480 

So as you can see I was literally killing myself and I was getting little to no exercise unless someone else initiated it. So here is a new day usually...

Breakfast: 

Fruit
1 Slice Banana Bread

Lunch:

Turkey Breast
Green Beans
Deviled Eggs
Jello w/whip cream

Dinner: Subway

Oven Roasted Chicken Footlong w/light ranch, lettuce, tomato, cucumbers

Drinks/Snacks:

Water
Water Flavoring (Sugar Free 10 calories!)
Fruit (Usually Oranges/Grapes)

Calorie Count: 1627

Average Daily Calorie Loss: 4853

So I'm doing a lot better and I usually don't feel hungry til late night and than I usually grab an orange or something that isn't going to ruin my weight loss. I have allowed myself to, what I like to call cheat, about once a week but even then I am pretty cautious about what I eat and usually still have water to drink. I am still going strong with the new lifestyle and like I said I will post pictures on Day 86 (I have taken a pic each week to see the change in progress!).
