{Stay Hungry} {Stay Foolish} ~Steve Jobs
Happy Saturday everyone, I attempted to sleep in and really considered going to an 8 AM spin class. Instead I'm drinking coffee, watching the sunrise because I can't seem to sleep in this week, and I'm packing for the Notre Dame-Maryland game tonight.
I never get fast food, I just steal donuts from work. Le tragic. Oh, well. Many of my colleagues and friends rely on the golden arches (Mc Donald's) or "Eat-Mor-Chikin" (Chick-Fil-A).
The question I pose is this, can I make a 1500 Calorie diet (if you have no idea how many calories you need, click here for the Mayo Clinic's Calorie Counter), somewhat healthy? Note this will be higher in sodium, lower in vegetables and I don't recommend using this every day.
This will rock out 3 meals and a snack (I tried to hit a few different restaurant chains).
