Whoops. Should have thought about this before I made bread yesterday . A dense, heavy bread made with ww flour, oat flour, flax seed meal, wheat bran, oat bran and 4 kinds of seeds (oops, forgot the chia seeds). I should call it Kitchen Sink Multi-Grain Bread. I liked it, hearty and wholesome. [it definitely needed some work in the leavening department so if I make it again, I'll have to adjust something] But you know sometimes having bread around = disaster, so we'll see how it goes.
So - hypothetically, I don't want to eat many grains. BUT as an exercise in trying to be more frugal with my food budget, I am trying to use up all the wonderful grains I have in my pantry. It's all whole grains, and the ww flour is almost gone so I am going to try things like flax meal and chickpea flour baked goods. Maybe I'll go ahead and freeze the rest of that bread I made...
Phase ?
B - black tea with unsweetened almond milk. I small slice multi-grain bread (42 g; I weighed it!) toasted, with smear of smart balance. Romaine lettuce with egg salad made with one whole egg and one egg white.
L - Lentil soup! [I'm gonna be eating this for the next 3 days too. Fun fun] With spinach added.
S - not sure yet, have to survey the fridge
D - Don't know. If we don't go out, I will make crab cakes with a big salad.
dessert - chia pudding made with almond milk
1: greek yogurt, raspberries, chopped orange, a little agave, and coffee with cream
2: bean soup with raw sugar snap peas
3: afternoon coffee with cream (first one in months- wiped out)
4: taco salad with salsa /yogurt dressing
5: sunflower seeds
I feel like I'm forgetting something.....
Exercise: not a lick , really run down today.
Water: not enough
vitamin: I remembered !!!! shelf life actually saw your post and that reminded me
Saturday Phase 1 eating (but may have a bit of wine tonight)
B: I am having a blood test at 8:30 so I can't eat until after that. I'm bringing sliced chicken and sugar snap peas with me to eat for breakfast.
S: peanuts
L: veggie omlette with salad on the side (eating out)
S: roasted chick peas and carrots
D: spagetti squash casserole
B/L: Omelette with loads of left over veggies
S: Orange and walnut muffin (yum!) + too many cranberries + too much dark chocolate (bad!) 1/2 an orange

Lots and lots of tea
Dessert : yoghurt with an apple
