Did I eat too much? Should I eat less? My portions were normal sized? About how many caliries did I eat today?

[Anonymous]

Today I had orange juice, 3 granola bars, a glass of milk (one cup), and hamburger helper. Is that too much? How many calories in what I ate?

I'm 130 lbs

I meant calories, I was in a rush.

That isn't too much. However, you didn't include much in regards to nutritional value. You can worry LESS about HOW MUCH you eat if you eat the right things, and that means you can eat a lot. People who are more active need to consume more calories, as calories do not equate fat, they equate the amount of energy you take away from the food. Calories become fat when the body doesn't use that energy, much like how the body handles sugar.

If you don't eat super healthy, don't worry. Eat good portions, don't deprive (that's stupid, don't do it, I will find you so help me) and try to throw in the extra healthy bit here and there. Like hamburger helper? Take a cup for a portion and throw some vegetables in it. If you haven't eaten much that day, eat more. 130 lbs is a healthy weight and you do not need to be that concerned.

Honestly you should eat more take it from someone who eats once a day and then the rest of the day is liquids but goes to the gym for 3 hours and sleeps 2 hours daily but try to eat more

~900 calories, not enough at all. Also I would cut down on the granola bars because they are pretty much just candy. If you want to keep track I would get the MyFitnessPal app, you can scan barcodes too and it makes it really easy.

No they have no chocolate in them and they were homemade and only had natural and organic ingredients.

you should learn how to calculate the amount of calories you eat in a day, or at least get close.

You should eat more food. It doesn't sound like you ate enough today.

Make sure it's healthy though!

[IPreferToListen]

I only counted one meal if you add all that stuff together. Add some vegetables in there or some soup.

If you're trying to keep calorie count low but still want to get all your daily proteins and vitamins you could start taking protein shakes.

It sounds like you should probably eat more. Esp if you do some sort of exercise during the day!

I go to the gym for an hour and I walk everywhere and I'm doing the 30 day ab and squat challenge.

If you start feeling like you can't exercise (you're too tired) you need to eat more. Food gives us energy.
