I’m a visual
person, so it wasn’t until I started measuring my food and seeing the calories
in each meal that I truly understood how many calories I was eating. For a few weeks,
I decided to count calories every day to really see what I was eating. What a
shock! It’s especially telling when I eat out – boy the calories add up. I
started taking pictures of what a 400 calorie meal looks like….to burn it into
my brain! Wait until you see what I found!
For this first
month, I’m comparing 400 calories of a Five Guys little cheeseburger with 400
calories of one of my favorite meals – a vegetarian chicken patty and
kale-quinoa salad – a staple in my house. Here are the pics.
As you can probably
guess, I left the burger meal feeling hungry and was full for hours on the
quinoa salad meal. Not to mention the differences in my energy levels. What an
eye-opener!
Consider figuring
out how much of your favorite meal is in 400 calories. Post a pic in the
comments to show us your shocking meals!
