What are you eating today? Accountability thread 10/1-10/7
Starting a new thread to keep me on track -
Today:
B - Quaker Essentials Crunch Corn Bran cereal (just found it and love it!), skim milk, coffee w/ 1 T h&h, small banana
S - 1/2 oz. almonds
L - turkey on whole wheat, carrots & celery, ff yogurt
S - watermelon, 1/2 oz. almonds
gym
D - (leftover, WW recipe) Beef and Vegetable Cheese Casserole, green beans or artichoke?
Though this thread is for this week, just wanted to mention that I stayed OP for food last weekend. Saturday I was shopping in the city all day, and I splurged with a late lunch/early dinner of Vietnamese food and I really enjoyed it. I tried my best to estimate the calories using fitday and common sense, and I think I stayed at just about 2000 for the day. I didn't exercise Saturday or Sunday, but I walked a ton shopping and cleaned and cooked all day Sunday, so I definitely burned a few there.
Breakfast - 1/2 cup organic flax and pumpkin granola (140 calories), 1 cup of non fat vanilla organic yogurt
Snack - bowl of mixed fruit (strawberries, kiwis, grapes, apples)
Lunch - salad - chicken, dark greens, roasted carrots/pepper/squash, marinated mushrooms, carrots, chickpeas, dressing on the side
Snack - kashi bar (140 calories)
Snack - orange
Dinner - spinach quesadillas (chopped spinach, 1/2 can low fat cr. mushroom soup, a few pine nuts, sun dried tomatoes, red onions, artichoke hearts, sprinkle of low fat cheese), La Tortilla Factory 80 calorie tortilla, folded in half
Glory, what brand is your organic flax and pumpkin granola? It sounds yummy! Actually, so does your salad...and your spinach quesadilla...would you like to be my personal chef?
Tuesday:
B - Quaker Essentials Crunch Corn Bran cereal, skim milk, coffee w/ 1 T h&h, small banana
S - 1/2 oz. raw walnuts
L - turkey on whole wheat, carrots & celery, 1/2 oz. raw walnuts
S - watermelon, ff yogurt
gym
D - pork chops are thawing in the fridge, sweet potatoes or artichoke to go with them?
Monday night
D - (leftover, WW recipe) Beef and Vegetable Cheese Casserole, green beans, 4 oz. Kozy Shack Rice Pudding with splenda. I know I have some brown rice & raisin "healthy" rice pudding recipes. I might need to dig them out instead of the Kozy Shack.
S - 1 serving sf jello, medium apple, 2 pieces Kavli 5 Grain Crispbread with 2 T. Alouette Herb & Garlic light spreadable cheese.
I was VERY hungry, and munchy, perhaps from running at the gym before dinner or PMS. I finally had some hot tea and brushed my teeth. Also trying to get more sleep. I started the week in a sleep deficit after sleeping poorly most of the weekend.
I did turn down the last piece of my roommate's fudge ("look, I saved some for you!") and root beer floats yesterday afternoon at work. There was ice cream & root beer left from last week when co-workers got them as "a treat", and I turned them down then too. None for me, thanks. No sugar lows needed.
Not so good today, but I need to be accountable. Nursing seems to keep me starving.

There will probably be another couple of snacks in there. Trying to make them relatively healthy. Shooting for about 2000 calories today.
Shane, sounds like you have been eating very healthily, working out a ton, and can have a little treat for dinner. Shrimp is very healthy by itself - high protein, low in fat - you just can't eat tons of creamy sauces or fried breading if you're trying to stay low-cal.

Well, yesterday wasn't a great maintenance day (boyfriend's birthday, buttery scallops/calimari/fried rice at a Japanese steak place, home-made chocolate cheesecake for dessert), but it definitely tasted great. Today is more on track:
B - measured 1/2 cup organic cereal with flax seeds and pumpkin (140 calories), about 1 cup of organic vanilla fat free yogurt

S - cut up veggies - grape tomatoes, baby carrots, sugar snap peas, orange pepper strips

Edited to add - I had a bite of my boyfriend's leftover chocolate cheesecake but it was really just a bite!
