Tomorrow is babysitting day once again, and I've packed up my day's menu to take along. I ended up making chili and corn bread for dinner tonight so I'd have leftovers to take with me tomorrow, and we'll have the sesame tofu stirfry tomorrow night. After the switch, today's menu ended up at close to 1600 calories, and tomorrow's menu is almost 1400 calories. Adding a few higher density foods, like the corn bread, bumped it up and filled me up, and that seems like a healthy range. I'll continue to check my menus on Fitday.com for a few more days just to be sure my nutritional needs are being met, but I'm happy with what I'm eating and I'm reaching the 8 healthy guidelines and all the RDA for vitamins each day, so something is working.
