Notes -- the Good and Bad in Time Stamps

9:19AM: My apologies, I am toxic at work hence the lack of daily updates. However, I'm back and hoping that the past few days of non-calorie counts haven't affected my program that much. Like I mentioned in my other blog, I was surprised that I'm now at about 202 pounds (although when I weighed myself this morning the needle kept pointing to 200). This morning was a light breakfast of one corned beef pandesal and unfortunately I'm now feeling dizzy from the lack of energy so I'll wolf down something before I pass out.

10:00AM: Took in two large pandesal pieces to up the energy.

1:58PM: Still under 1,000 even after lunch (Yey!) but a humongous Chilli's Oldtimer burger is lurking along with fries on the side and if I decide to eat it whole, I'll be packing in 1,310 calories in one go. Will behave and discipline myself from consuming the entire thing. Even half of that would be a 600+ calorie-load.

3:07PM: Quartered the burger and ate 1 portion and packed in 328 calories in 4 bites. Brewed coffee followed. Calories still manageable at 1,332 by this time in the PM!

Next Day Time Stamp: Ikai consumed half of the fourth-portion burger I gave her and Issa didn't touch her portion at all. So, rather than have them waste, I consumed the burger left-overs but didn't touch the fries. All in all, the left-over burger packed in an estimated 327 calories. And since I wanted some soup, I ate 1/4 rice ladled with lots and lots of pirit soup. My calorie count tops out at 1,710! Yey!

The Diabetic Daddy has sourced calorie counts from the web, mostly from US-facing websites. As such, their calorie count for some food items from establishments or brands may not be similar with their Philippine-based operations. Serving sizes in US and other countries are generally bigger and larger than in the Philippines. Wherever possible, TDD uses calorie counts appropriate to the Filipino consumer.
