What are you eating today?

Have you eaten lunch already? Or maybe you're onto dinner now? Well, what did you eat? [I haven't eaten yet, bummer]. Have you ever thought about having a food journal? I'm actually doing that right now. I've noticed that I've eat a lot that I said I did. Just saying, "Oh, I don't eat breakfast, but I do have snacks here and there, I eat lunch, and dinner." That don't seem like much, but after seeing it on paper. Good golly molly! This is how my food journal consisted of yesterday [I kid you not].

• Breakfast: Nothing
• Lunch: water, Chalupas, Mexican Fry Bread
• Snack: Jumbo Cinnamon Roll
• Dinner: Grape soda, Beef ravioli

Now, doesn't that look bland? But, if you check out the calories of everything, you would know that my calorie intake was a lot. I know that some people say "Oh, don't count your calories." I'm not a nutritionist, but I [personally] think its okay to see how much calories that you're putting into your body from time to time. As studies show, the [DV] Daily Value intake is 2,000 [which is meant for women. its 2,500 for men], well if you're intaking [as a woman] 3,000 over a 24 hr period without exercising, than your body is storing all that fat rather than burning it..[Like I mentioned, I'm not a nutritionist, so I might be wrong, lol..I think I should stick to cooking and leave the facts to them, lol].

I do, however, have the recipes to the Chalupa and Mexican Fry Bread, so be sure to check it out in the recipe tab! 

Also, I want to welcome my newest contributor all the way from merry ol' England, Lollie! Thanks for joining/contributing to Cooking Arrangements.

Let's eat!,
