Make sure you're getting the right combination of foods to maximize your fat burning potential: eat a diet consisting of 40-45% of daily calories from carbs, 30% from protein, and 25-30% from fat.
If you can't live without your "Three Meals a Day" and the idea of eating mini-meals puts you off-don't stress! Eat only when your body needs a boost. Eat often enough so that you don't pig out in one meal; our bodies just can't handle all those calories at once. There is nothing wrong with three meals and a snack in the mid-afternoon. Just make sure it's not a high-fat/calorie goodie (yes, that includes coffees!)

I volunteer at the SPCA one day a week for three hours. Think I can make this part of my training for a day??? Whew, it's hot outside and most of those dogs need some serious leash training! That's what I get for working with "big dogs, " huh. Hmm...could have something to do with the fact that they are starved for attention and activity! Super fun; super exhausting. Remind me to get out my pedometer to see what I'm cranking these days.

Nutrition Facts

Are you checking the labels for serving sizes?
To add calories/grams per serving you must use the exact suggesting serving size. If you eat more, then you have to tack on extra calories. Back to the Pam label, it tells us that a 1 second spray is <1 g fat and 7 calories and should cover a 10 inch skillet. Still better than butter or oil, but probably not as low fat/low in calories as you thought.
Be sure to be consistent and persistent in reading labels. I'm sure you've also guessed where this is headed-don't forget to jot down your food in a journal/log for the best results.
