Easter Dinner Recovery

Yesterday was Easter and my tastebuds were leaping right along with all the bunnies.  We went over to Tammy's around 2 and I brought green bean casserole, bacon-wrapped butternut squash, and the most mouth-watering homemade-from-scratch apple pie. 

There was also ham, macaroni salad, roasted carrots, and mashed potatoes.  So much goodness.  I tried to remember portion control but I may have gotten a little carried away with the mashed potatoes because mashed potatoes.  When it came time for dessert, I brought out my little pride and joy.  It was well received and my cousin Lauren begged for my recipe.  The recipe is basically 6 sticks of butter.  Anyway, I managed to only have half a slice, which was still probably 8239487 calories. 

We were stuffed so once we got home I only had a few spoonfuls of the chocolate/peanut butter banana "ice cream" I'd made earlier last week.  That was about it for Sunday.  For some reason I didn't exceed my calorie limit - breakfast was 242 and dinner was 898 - totaled to 1,139 and then we took a walk so that burned 243 calories.  I'm wondering how much trust I should put in the My Fitness Pal app - since I'm doing Paleo, I shouldn't be having any sugars or grains but the app is really only concerned with calories.  There's an option for me to see the nutrition content of all that I ate in a day, and while I had 35 grams of sugar, I still didn't meet the minimum for sugar goal - 54!! I mean, that's nuts.  Definitely not as healthful as I was hoping it would be.
