Gah! Note to self: NO MORE NON-LIGHT FRAPPUCINOS!
Today's intake was:
1 granola bar: 110
1 pkg seaweed salad: 140
1/3 of an apple: 40-ish
1 pkg calamari salad: 148
1 tall mocha lite frappucino: 110 (surprising, but it's what Starbucks' website says)
I actually thought that mocha lite frappucinos had like 200 calories or so. Anyway, I was stupid and, figuring that I'm not eating this weekend (after breakfast tomorrow) since I'm going home for a couple days, I just consumed a regular non-light Tall Java Chip Frappucino, whipped cream and all.
340 fucking calories!
It's not horrible or fatal to my calorie count (a Venti java chip frap has a staggering 600 calories), but still. :-/ It ended up at around 888, but could have been a respectable number in the 500s. Luckily, I may have burned as many as 500 or 600 calories today since I spent most of the day walking at a moderate pace (seriously). If I did, the 848 calories from today would drop down to more like 248 or 348.
I made myself some new food rules, which I think are reasonable.
- Acceptable meals include caesar salad (no dressing), sushi, seaweed salad, or calamari salad from The Agora (the cafeteria-type place on campus that doesn't suck and has Japanese and Mediterranean food, and is generally healthy).
- Acceptable drinks include Perrier, San Pellegrino, Diet Soda (limited to two servings per day, i.e. one bottle of Diet Coke or whatever), sugar-free energy drinks, flavoured water, and water.
- Acceptable snack foods include granola bars, fruit, raw vegetables such as peppers or celery, and SlimFast.
- No eating after 6 PM (a rule I broke with my evil Java Chip Frappuccino of Doom >.<), except acceptable beverages.
- No fast food. Ever. Not even salads.
- No restaurant food from American family dining casual chain restaurants (e.g. Applebee's, Chili's, etc.) without first looking up calories and choosing a suitable entre. It should be kept in mind, however, that meals are served on platters big enough to hold a roast goose and I usually finish barely half of what I ordered.
- I will not eat on weekends when I am home. Period.
- I am allowed two Tall Lite Mocha Frappuccinos per week.
- For candy cravings and such, I will consume fruit-flavoured Tic-Tacs or Icebreakers. For chocolate cravings (which are rare for me), chocolate-drizzled Special K bars are to be used.
