Like, "Oh my god -- I forgot to input the eight animal crackers I had with the kids this morning! Was it eight crackers? Seven? Nine? OH WHO CARES!!!!!!" But I still input eight crackers, sigh.
The plus side? I have been eating healthfully for so long, I'm finding THAT aspect pretty easy. I am just watching portion sizes and adding more veggies. I have developed new relationships with my measuring cups and spoons I never thought I'd have. :)
Tonight's dinner definitely didn't feel like "diet food," although it came in well under 300 calories . . .
BEANS AND GREENS TACOS:
For each taco . . .
1 corn tortilla (I used homemade, from my freezer)
2 tablespoons refried beans (I used homemade)
1 tablespoon cooked brown rice
2 - 3 tablespoons cooked greens (I used spinach)
1 tablespoon shredded pepper jack cheese
1 tablespoon pico de gallo
1 teaspoon "light" sour cream
1 radish, sliced
I made myself two tacos for dinner tonight, which I found pleasantly satisfying . . . and left me plenty of room in my daily calorie count for a chocolate chip cookie for dessert. :)

I'm a little behind, how long have you been counting calories?
Beans & greens are really underrated, especially on corn tortillas toasted just a little. I like using wilted kale, and a little chopped cabbage with lime juice.
Have you tried lightly pickling the radishes in lime or lemon juice? Pickled radishes & jalapenos are all over the taquerias here, & well worth a try.
Whats your recipe for the homemade corn tortillas?
