Sunday's food

Sunday's entry:

It says I am below calories because I exercised. According to MFD, you should eat back all your exercise calories. I'm not sure I agree with that. I was a little over again on sodium, but not too bad. I will try to improve again on Monday. Overall, a good day!

If every day were like today ...
You would lose 2 lbs per week.
