On the bright side, this WAS within my calorie budget for the day!
You have to fuel your body for your activity level, and as Crankin said, you exercise at a much more intensive level than most of us here do. Ya need food for that

This thread really helps me, especially when we've women posting with a wide variety of activity levels. I've gotten food ideas from here. I post because it helps provide me a bit of accountability and while I don't post daily (I track everything I eat with Lose It on my phone), it does help.

Lose It! is a fine phone application, the phone application keeps track of my nutritional proportions along with caloric intake and allows custom foods/recipes. The associated website provides me with reports of different kinds and even shows me what my favorite foods are - in case there was any doubt. I've used this since I started all of this 2.5 years ago and it is very helpful.
