2 bananas (210)
1 piece of peanut butter toast (300)

Snack: Peach (40) and string cheese (60)

Lunch: Corn dog (200), about 3/4 cup of cottage cheese (120)

Snack: A few nuts (102 Nuts add up in a hurry; the mixed nut can gives the break down at about 17 calories for every two nuts. I probably ate a dozen. 6x17=102 ) and an apple (80)

Supper: Rotisserie chicken (160) and a Bacon Baked Potato (306)

• Baked potato(150) seasoned with
• three slices of crumbled bacon(105) ,
• one small onion sautéed,
• a small amount of sautéed green pepper, and
• 2 Tbsps fat free cream cheese (30)
• garlic salt

Snack: I came home from Nicky and Jeremy's and started eating potato chips and dip!! (???) I thought: "This won't work" so I popped a mini bag of 94% fat free popcorn and ate it to handle my munchies. popcorn (110)

Even without the chips and dip I was over 1600. (1688) It's a good thing I STOPPED eating those and went to the popcorn.

By the way, I'm not even bothering to count my coffee. It counts because of the way I drink it, but at the end of most days I suppose I'd just have to add 80 calories for coffee. (It's creamer not sugar that makes it that high.)

Lunch: Chicken and rice (about 300), a few beets (15 calories each, about 45)

Supper: Five Guys (Hebrew National) Hotdog (285 alone) with mayo, mustard, grilled onions, green peppers.......and Will Clem came in to eat when I did and gave me his Cajun fries.... was that a favor? (Fries are 310 for HALF an order.)
I ate some then and the rest on the way home from work ( I heated them in the MW before leaving. They were limp, but the flavor was still good.)

Going by what that Daily Plate site says, it looks like I racked up a thousand calories just by eating a hotdog and the fries.

I decided that an investment in some "good" olive oil would be forthcoming so I'd have some at home.
