I may need to stop eating sushi. I love sushi. And it's good for you. But I never know how to calculate the calories, as much as I try, and so I'm either overestimating or underestimating and either way the scale isn't happy today.
I ate two trays of Harris Teeter sushi yesterday: one tray had four tiny pieces each of shrimp, tuna, salmon and eel sushi. One tray had six of the larger sushi: two salmon, two shrimp and two tuna. Plus six small pieces of tuna and avocado. (Man, when I see it in print like that, maybe it was way too much sushi.) It was my main meal for the day. And I estimated it at a little less than 700 calories. But maybe I was way off.
I didn't eat much else during the day: oatmeal and a banana for breakfast; a lean cuisine fish dish for dinner.
Anyway, the scale is up today.
Oh, and I ran in the morning, a good run in the rain where I went 2.25 miles straight and then ran/walked the last mile.
So perhaps it's too much sushi. But buying the one tray never seems to fill me up.
Sigh. I guess that's why I'm fat.

I'm no expert here, but I'm pretty sure you don't want to get on the scale every morning and then attribute the gain or loss to whatever you did yesterday. Sounds like a recipe for second-guessing yourself and destroying your confidence (perhaps causing you to stop eating something that's good for you!).
ReplyDeleteI have no idea if your estimate was off, but maybe if you're worried about it, you could eat just one tray of the sushi at a time and then round out the meal with veggies or something less calorie dense. (But realistically, your estimate wasn't off by 3,000 calories, so I doubt sushi alone would cause you to gain any noticeable weight in one day.)
Happy running!
