That is a lot of food. I am so excited I can eat so much and still keep my sodium low! Even with some prepackaged foods like instant oatmeal and a meal replacement bar. Maybe I'm finally learning to really make better choices
Lunch: Big salad with tons of broccoli slaw, zucchini, tomato, green peppers, onions, carrots.
Snack: Clif bar.
Dinner: Schezuan tofu with 1/2 cup pasta and tons of veggies.
I may switch lunch and dinner, I think, since schezhuan tofu has more sodium and if I have it at lunch I can make sure to really drink a ton of water this afternoon.
