Aww I would tell you about the rice bowl but I really don't know. I get it from the burrito place on campus. I'm sure any sort of Mexican or Spanish rice will due.. I wonder if Zataran's makes any?
By the way, Elwing, your stir fry with bulgur sounds delicious! I bought a box of bulgur a while back for some soup and have tons leftover and never could think of what to do with it!

My food is pretty darn repetitive, isn't it? Haha I live by myself and don't want to cook every night, so I'll make a pot of soup or a casserole and eat off of it for several days and I love my snacks, so I tend to keep them the same. I'm a creature of habit! Haha.

Lunch: Ham & Cheese sandwich & Sun chips
Afternoon Snack: 3 peanut butter crackers

Today
Breakfast: Kashi Go-Lean Crunch with 2% Milk
Morning Snack: Mini Chips Ahoy pack
Lunch: Ham & Cheese Sandwich & Cheez-Its
Dinner: Spaghetti with Meat Sauce
Evening Snack: ???
Breakfast:
Bowl of low-fat yoghurt with muesli and a teensy little bit of sugar.
Lunch:
2 x bread roll with diet margarin and cheese - one whole-grain, one white.
Snacks
1 x automaton chocolate milk
10 grapes
Dinner:
Was supposed to be wraps with hummus and salad. I made the hummus, but cut my finger quite badly on the blender. And I had a ****ty day overall. So I decided to go for the lentil-spinach curry I still had in the freezer. Less work but equally healthy. I'll add some noodles and an egg. And some yoghurt with grapes after.
Also I went on a shopping spree in my local Moroccan food shop because my day was ****ty. This is what I bought:
-loads of garlic
-a bunch of fresh coriander
-tomato's
-onions
-grapes
-canned chickpeas
-a jar of tahin
-dried blueberries (for in my yoghurt - quite expensive but if this will cut sugar out of my diet completely it is worth it. I am unable to eat yoghurt with nothing.)
-dried mung beans (for that sprouted mung bean salad I want to try).

Haven't finished eating today yet I think I did pretty well last night at the Chinese...I managed to resist the chicken satay, kung po chicken, lemon chicken, banana fritters and everything else I wanted that came in batter and/or a deliciously fattening sauce!
I normally eat the same things on a daily basis. Things may change here and there, but things I consume almost daily are:
Danon Shillouette Yogurt - it's super low fat, and incredibly yummy. I love cherry, peach, strawberry banana, vanilla.... the list could go on and on, they have some wonderful flavours. I eat this yogurt religiously everyday.
Apples
Bananas
1 peice of multigrain bread, cut into 2 slices, with peanut butter and honey on top.
A snack I've recently become fond of is apple slices with cheddar cheese. Yum.
Cottage cheese with frozen blueberries mixed in (defrosted obviously)
veggie burgers (Lick's brand, not sure if they sell them in the States)- I eat these often, usually once a week. On a whole wheat bun.
steamed cauliflower and brocolli with grated parmasean cheese on top.
