I read what some of you are eating, and I think I'm eating wayyyy too much?

Yet I've lost 28 pounds so far, so I don't know. I just feel like I should be eating way less than I should.

I keep track of everything (nutrition, water, exercise) with my SparkPeople page. For the most part, I've managed to stay less than 1500 calories every day.

I've been eating a lot of tuna salad and chicken salad.

But I don't make it the traditional way.

Instead of mayo or miracle whip (ugh) I mix the tuna or chicken with spinach dip, or artichoke dip. Two tablespoons of the stuff only has 90 calories, is really good and you get a bit of extra vegetable in your diet without even thinking about it.

Frankly, the salad turns out much creamier and yummier than with mayo.

We had burgers the other day. Now, I don't eat much bread, so I have to be creative with my burgers. I used the spinach dip instead of mayo, and it was AWESOME!

I may never eat mayo again. LOL

bama belle~ It usually takes a few fills before you get some really good restriction, so don't worry if you think you are eating more than some of us. It took A LOT of fills for me to get good restriction.

Not sure what kind of spinach dip you are using, but Tostito's creamy spinach dip is really good and only has 50 calories or 2 tbsp. I too use it all the time, I've even made egg salad and deviled eggs with it.
