Not bad, though I'll offer a few picky comments:

* I expect the Starbucks calories aren't that great nutritionally.
I'm not sure if they're from sugar or fat (cream); I don't like coffee
so have no experience with this.
* That's a lot of calories for yogurt. Is it because you ate a lot of
it, or because it's the kind with fruit jam mixed in? If the latter,
a better choice would be plain yogurt mixed with real fruit and maybe
some splenda or other artificial sweetener.
* Real turkey (from a deli, or from roasting a turkey breast) is
better for you than packaged lunch meats because of the sodium and
nitrates in the packaged products.
* I don't know what spree is.
* You could be eating some vegetables :-).
* Sour cream is pretty high in calories and fat. If you wanted to
save some calories, you might try some substitutions like low-fat
ranch dressing, plain yogurt, cottage cheese, or low-fat sour cream.
* I'm sure you know that the cookies are basically a treat food, but
there's nothing wrong with spending some calories on a treat provided
you've got them to spend. Clearly you didn't eat a lot of them.

My diet is far from flawless -- I could critique my own equally well
-- but just offering a few thoughts.

Just what I'm looking for :-)



* I expect the Starbucks calories aren't that great nutritionally.
I'm not sure if they're from sugar or fat (cream); I don't like coffee
so have no experience with this.

Both. I don't know what it is about the particular coffee I drink (light
coffee frapachino), but it seems to tide me over for hours.

I have to save a lot of my calories during the day for use at nighttime. If
I don't have a good 1000 calories left at 8pm that's a real problem for me,
so I try to eat a late lunch and dinner.

* That's a lot of calories for yogurt. Is it because you ate a lot of
it, or because it's the kind with fruit jam mixed in? If the latter,
a better choice would be plain yogurt mixed with real fruit and maybe
some splenda or other artificial sweetener.

Unfortunately, fruit-at-bottom was all we had in the fridge. I'll buy a tub
of plain next time I shop & try adding some fruit.

* Real turkey (from a deli, or from roasting a turkey breast) is
better for you than packaged lunch meats because of the sodium and
nitrates in the packaged products.

Good suggestion!

* I don't know what spree is.

Candy. I have a moderate amt. of candy every day. I shouldn't, but I do.

* You could be eating some vegetables :-).

Yah.

* Sour cream is pretty high in calories and fat. If you wanted to
save some calories, you might try some substitutions like low-fat
ranch dressing, plain yogurt, cottage cheese, or low-fat sour cream.

We just ran out of sour cream. Cottage cheese with baked potato? Sounds
interesting! Cottage cheese is kind of a trigger food for me, though. Maybe
I'll get some low-fat, or just try yogurt. (Which sounds weird as something
to go with potatoes, but what the heck.)

* I'm sure you know that the cookies are basically a treat food, but
there's nothing wrong with spending some calories on a treat provided
you've got them to spend. Clearly you didn't eat a lot of them.

Until 3AM when I woke up feeling famished. I think the cookies I had earlier
in the night might have been a trigger for me. I did count those 217
calories against today's food, though, so I'm not going to make a big deal
of it.

Thanks!

I eat fat free cottage cheese. It's a great source of protein. Being fat
free, it's low calorie. However, it is rather high in sodium. I also prefer
fat free plain yogurt. Then I just add some fruit or cereal to give it some
taste.

Fat free cottage cheese is my new favorite food. I mix it with diced up
fruit and nuts and cinnamon. Never ate cottage cheese of any kind in my
whole life before a year ago. :-)

Cottage cheese has always been one of my favorite foods. I even have the
two year old granddaughter eating it. I've gotten a few nice comments from
people in restaurants when they see her eating cottage cheese, fruit,etc.
Teach them young!
