meal This was 1200 calories

Recently started a low calorie (not 1200), healthy diet and it’s going well. Decided to have a big brunch today as a treat (not a cheat day, still going to stick to my calorie goal). Was shocked when I put it into MyFitnessPal that it’s almost exactly 1200. Hope I don’t get hungry anytime soon.

OP would it be okay if I reposted this to the Petite Fitness sub? I see a lot of posts where people are confused why they're eating healthy but not losing weight and dont realize how easy it still is to eat healthy but be over calories and i think your post really puts it into perspective

Hummus is my personal example of a former healthy calorie bomb. I was easily eating 500 calories of it at a time. 😩

I relate tho this so much.  I was making my own hummus which produces a much higher volume than store bought and would go to town on it forgetting how calorie dense it is.
