...was 1,410!!
It was the best day yet in terms of nutrient composition. There were very few wasted calories on things like candy or cream for my coffee, and I ate fruit, veggies, dairy, grains, and lean protein.
My secret to yesterday's success: popcorn!! It was air popped, with nothing on it, so it was about 30 calories per cup.
I had only about 60 calories worth of popcorn (2 cups), and it did a great job of filling me up, which helped me resist the urge to snack.
Here's a look at the nutritional breakdown of plain popcorn:

It's a source of fibre, and contains nutrients such as phosphorus, potassium, and omega-6 fatty acids. It even has a small amount of protein. Hey, a low cal filler with some added benefits!
