So I was craving some delicious junk food and didn't have any in my house because "out of sight, out of mind". But I eventually started telling my family members I was hungry and gave in.. I went to get McDonald's with my mom, and we had a BOGO coupon for breakfast sandwiches. I ended up getting a Bacon egg mcmuffin (320 cals) and an apple pie (270 cals). However, it was only 5 so I decided that that would be my dinner, because it was already a lot of calories. So, when the rest of my family had dinner, I didn't eat, since I felt full and satisfied already.
I was surprised to see that I lost a pound this morning, and realized that I was still at a calorie deficit because I actually didn't eat too bad for the beginning of the day. I had 1 piece of toast with peanut butter and strawberry jam and a glass of milk for breakfast (about 300 cals), noodle soup with veggies and meat for lunch (about 400 I'm guessing) and a small baked yam (about 70 Cals). I'm short, so after my total of about 1300 calories, and my BMR of 1170 cals, I was only over by a bit.
But, my exercise made up for it. I walked 8,000 steps and did about 30 minutes of leg exercises yesterday.
So, what I'm saying is, you can fit junk food into your caloric intake and still lose weight if you're really craving it and if you don't go overboard.
