A Subway sandwich reality check

I’ve been gaining weight again, and it’s gotten to the point where I need to be more active about it then tracking down how much I weigh every day. That point being >157 for more than 3 days in a row.

Race or not.

Last night I came across this Subway nutrition calculator. Several days a week, I got to Subway and order one of three things:

Omph. Maybe it seems obvious — a foot-long sandwich is a very filling meal — but I didn’t think my usual lunch was a half-my-day’s-calories kind of affair.

It’s good to check in with this stuff every once and awhile, even if it feels like of course I know how many calories something is because I used to be so religious about it.

    Hey Pattie! I use http://www.myfitnesspal.com and the brother app on the iPhone to track my calories, it has over 1,000,000 food entries. I also put in WHAT i’m going to eat before I eat it to see what it is has in it. I saved myself a painful regret when going to Olive Garden a few weeks ago and saved myself over 800 calories, and was still full! Calorie counting is only 1 piece of the puzzle, but I find it helpful!
