PP, I burn 1600 calories doing nothing - that's my resting metabolic rate. I can't believe how little some of you ladies eat. Don't any of you like meat?

Breakfast- soy latte made at home (I absolutely can't eat in the morning) 100 calories

Lunch- quinoa salad with avocado, corn, black beans, and shrimp 400 calories

Snack- handful of almonds 150 calories

Dinner- TBD, but probably a couple slices of honey baked ham leftover from yesterday, and some fruit that I bought this morning (strawberries and blueberries). 500 calories (incl plain quinoa) + 200 more for cupcake

I'm at a good weight, more on the thin side, but it's getting harder to maintain as I age (I'm 42).

Is this even 1,000 calories? Goodness.

With the cupcake I threw in after dinner, probably. I also had some of the extra quinoa (plain) for dinner, too.

This is how I counted (above in bold)^^
