Calories today, AOK.

Today's are:

Toast spread with pesto and tomato puree (1 slice)-150
two clementines-52
three biscuits-300
an apple-40
Innocent smoothie-125
A meal I made consisting of: 25g rice, peas, half a can of low fat baked beans, pesto and a bit of cheese, which I reckon out to be-450
Options hot chocolate-40
A slice of brownie-30 (and I'm talking 2.5cm x 3cm x 0.4cm. Slither would be more appropriate)

This comes to about 1200, maybe slightly under.

If I split it into mealtimes, it runs as follows: I wake up at half ten, watch television, drink some tea and at eleven, eat the toast.
I sleep for a while, wake, read a little, feel nauseous, sleep more and then eat the clementines, and half an hour later, the biscuits.
I go into town, have a walk about and now it's half past seven- I go to starbucks and ask them to blend a smoothie with ice, and drink that.
I toddle home, watch some more television and make my meal around nine, which I split in half and refrigerate one for a later date, then eat the apple as pudding at ten.
Then I have the hot chocolate at half one, and the brownie catches my eye.

I've felt under the weather today- I went out last night (not on drugs) and danced too much, I've had a sore throat and I started my period today. I don't ever get period pains but I do feel tired, it's probably the lack of iron. It seems unfair that women have to do this and men don't. I'm not moaning; I was one of the last to start my period, and I'm thrilled I've got it, but surely there should be a male equivalent. I suppose worrying about a fleshy appendage hanging about outside your body almost qualifies, but still, they don't have to push a child through it at any point in their lives. Anyway, I'm usually hale and healthy so this collection of symptoms is unusual, but nontheless, if it's aiding calorie cuts I won't moan.
