Today was the first time I've tracked a meal in months. I just wanted to get a feel of what macros look like on meat-free day. I definitely eat more(volume) on my plant-based days than my "normal days", but today's total calories came in way under 1500 kcal. Though, I didn't take into account all the spices I used, because I'm lazy. Was a bit shocked at the carbs I'm taking in though 😱, but I took a moment to compose myself. And remind myself that I've been eating like this for a while without knowing it, and there weren't many (any) negative repercussions. And almost a quarter of the total carbs was just fiber. Also, today I made buckwheat flatbread/crepes to go with my meal which probably pushed things beyond the norm.

I'll probably track a non-meatless day as well, just to see where I'm at, but I don't plan to start tracking regularly again. It was becoming a bit of an obsession for me, which I felt wasn't healthy 😔. But not everyone is like me. Eating intuitively has just been a load off for me and has taught me that I can actually make good decisions when it comes to my food and health in general. But OBVIOUSLY do what works for you 😁.

Happy mini Friday y'all!! Enjoy the break
