I'm 16 years old, and I'm on a diet. Did I have too many calories today?

Today I had 1574 calories (give or take a few, I'm using my myfitnesspal.com value). I went biking for about 10 minutes, because I have finals to study for. Can you tell me if I had too many calories, or if I did well today?



Here's what I ate:



Breakfast

Pierre Grill Chicken Sandwich- 280 calories, 35 grams carbs, 9 grams fat, 15 grams protein.



Lunch:

Salad with light Italian dressing: 167 calories, 20 grams carbs, 4 grams fat, 3 grams protein

Breyers YoCrunch Yogurt: 200 calories, 35 grams of carbs, 5 grams of fat, 5 grams protein.



Dinner:

Greek Salad with Yasou Greek Salad Dressing, 2 Tbsp- 395 calories, 1 gram carbs, 19 fat, 0 protein

Two Buffalo Chicken tenders, fried: 202 calories, 12 grams carbs, 6 fat, 24 protein



Snacks:



Fiber One bar: 100 calories, 19 grams carb, 3 fat, 1 protein

K20 water mix: 35 calories, 6 carbs, 0 fat, 5 protein

Bagel thin w/ veggie cream cheese: 200 calories, 22 carbs, 9 fat, 5 protein



I went a little bit overboard today-my goal is 1400 calories a day. But did I eat too much?I'm 16 years old, and I'm on a diet. Did I have too many calories today?
No, that is a healthy amount for trying to lose weight. Don't try to eat too little or worry too much about what you are eating, it will just make you binge. You ate pretty healthy but remember it is not necessarily how much you eat but what you eat. If you eat lighter things like fruits, vegetables, lean meat (white chicken, turkey, fish), and healthy fats (if its liquid at room temp. thats a good clue that it is good, no butter or fried foods).
No that's a good amount. I'd say that's average and normal.I'm 16 years old, and I'm on a diet. Did I have too many calories today?
no
