I'm really not sure how accurately I logged yesterday's food. It was hard to be exact. But I tried working out the stuffing with the usual method. I entered all the ingredients into MFP as a recipe. All 185g of butter and about twelve slices of white bread, maybe fourteen. I erred on the side of caution and counted it as fourteen. The calorie total was horrendous at nearly 900 cals for half the amount made. That's high! So I double checked my ingredients. Seems correct as far as I can tell. I ate a lot of it, but not 900 cals worth. In fact, I didn't go too overboard at all. I think I finished the day about 240 over, so not as bad as I thought it might be.
Stupidly, I feel a little guilty about yesterday's food. It's the first time in a while that I've intentionally eaten something as rich and full of butter as that home made stuffing. There's some left in the fridge. TMM is off work today, so I hope he eats it for lunch. I had some of the breast meat for breakfast. Having leftovers for brekkie is a habit I acquired when I was following a paleo lifestyle. High protein breakfasts were big on that and they kept me full all morning. And I have no objection to eating things that are traditionally thought as lunch or dinner foods.
I'd like to be good for the rest of the week, make up that deficit and get a bit in credit if possible as I'm going out for a meal with my sisters and some cousins on Friday night. I want to enjoy it without guilt, but not mess with my weigh in, only two days later. I predict lots of soup in this week's menu.
