Is my calorie intake too high today?

[jennifer_bloom]

I had a lot of tangerines, don't know how many

I also had a sardine sandwich with three slices of melted cheese totalling 180 calories for the cheese, 60 calories for the sardines and 150 calories for bread and 40 calories for sauce

I had a microwave quesadilla that was around 200 calories

I also had 2 medium slices of pizza totalling around 800 calories

Yes. This is a lot. Over 1500 calorie intake is not good, if you dont exercise just a much to burn the gained calories

Depends on how active you are. In the military my target was usually 3000 cal/day... up to 4500 on long missions. Now that I have a desk job I shoot for 1800-2400 because I still do ruck marches and every weekend a charity 5k-10k.

From nutritional experts, calorie estimates range from 1,600 to 2,400 calories per day for adult women and 2,000 to 3,000 calories per day for adult men, so to say over 1500 is not good is not only false but dangerously low if she's active. If at 1600/day someone is gaining weight, the problem is their sedentary lifestyle not the caloric intake. You can't stay in bed all day and eat 1000 calories. Your body will ultimately lack nutrition and you'll get skinny-fat.

I'd be more concerned about all the sat fat you took in for one day. That's what brought about my heart attack.

Dude you need to eat beets and lettuce and snack on cucumbers and nuts

[jennifer_bloom]

My problem is I am only satisfied when I eat protein - whether it's bread or pasta or meat or cheese.

[AnusNdaPainus]

Nuts are packed full of protein too and so is yogurt but with much fewer calories

Thanks

Adding to AnusNdaPainus said, if you have it where you live, Triple Zero Greek yogurt is probably the best out there. No added sugar, no fat, no artificial sweeteners (get vanilla flavor if you want a sweeter one), high in protein and really filling.
