Tuna Salad

Tuna Salad
One can of Starkist Tuna, drained
Celery, cubed about 3/4 cup
1 slice onion, grated
2 boiled eggs
1 pickle, chopped
1 Tbsp pickle juice
4 tsp. Hellman's light mayonnaise
(500 calories for the whole thing!!)


I figured the calories for everything that went into it and came up with total calories of about 500. I ate the whole thing as a breakfast/lunch combo
This blog is an attempt to make calorie counting easier for myself.
I've taken the meals I ate when I lost weight before and did calorie counts of the TOTALS so that I could save myself time and still have a pretty good idea of how many calories I am consuming. I began with the meals I concocted myself but plan to add more from other sources as I find time.

I've tried to label each entry so that breakfasts, lunches, snacks, dinners and so on could be easily located as needed.
