im a 16 yr old girl, 5’4”. ive lost 20 lbs, and im trying to lose the last few. ive been pretty good on my diet..i eat around 1200 calories a day. but i took 3 days off when i visited my grandma, and ate way too many sweets(cobbler, cake, brownies, gravy,sausage&biscuits, etc)..im trying to get back on track today…
so i had 10 large strawberries.
1 cup of mixed veggies (drained)
a salad(lettuce, medium tomato, a bit of celery, a bit of cucumber..no dressing)
then i had 150 calories of roasted garlic hummus, on a whole wheat pita muffin (100 calories)
then i had a slice of turkey (1/4 inches thick, 6” diameter…60 calories per 2 ounces..but im not sure how many ounces that was?) wrapped in lettuce and mustard

how many calories would you say i have eaten today? my mom made some vegetable stew for dinner..its cooked with meat in it..but if i only eat the veggies, will it be healthy, or will the juices from the meat still add calories? thanks!

ps. any diet tips, or advice, and low calorie recipes/snacks, etc are appreciated!!

My question again was about diet cooking tips and there have been some great answers

How big is the weight loss difference between eating less calories and eating "healthier" calories?

In other words, if you’re on, say, a 1400-calorie-a-day diet and excersizing regularly, how much of a difference in your weight loss will you see if you eat 1400 calories of McDonalds every day vs. 1400 calories of whole wheat toast and tofu?
