Todays eating was random; I only got 3 hours sleep before i had to come into work which messed up my usual system.
B: Bottle of orange juice (on the bus) Tea and really quick toast, no crusts (10 minutes before work)
L: bag of velvet crunch (1) oaty bar thingy (2)
D: Homemade cabbage soup, 2 boiled potatoes, carrots and leek
S: 2 pieces of shortbread (in work, it was stock that was on the verge of going off, it had to be done!!!)
I know the toast wasnt core but it was my entire breakfast and it was either that or eat nothing
Back on track! Tonight I am going for dinner with a friend... but I am very please that said restaurant FINALLY have nutritional information online! So I know what I eating! YAY!
B: slice of toast (1) w/ light cream cheese (.5); watermelon (1); smoothie - spinach, watermelon, blueberries, other mixed fruit, flax seed, orange juice (4)
S: coffee (1)
L: sole (2); slice of toast (1); romaine w/ 5 cal dressing (0); edamame (2)
S: strawberries (0); green tea (0)
D:
So I found something for dinner that looks so yummy and healthy:
Pad Thai
chicken, shrimp, tofu and egg, tossed with carrots, red pepper and ginger, rice stick noodles and a sweet, spicy garlic lime sauce, topped with bean sprouts, fresh cilantro and peanuts
Then I look at nutritional information:
Calories: 442.8
Fat: 49.7
Protein: 63.6
Fiber: 7.2
Carbs: 114
Something doesn't add up here... 50 grams of fat in that? that seems really high for a bunch of shrimp, tofu and rice noodles :/ and that alone is the amount of calories in the dish... and then all the protein? argh - its one of the only dishes under 1000 calories!
That does look strange - both for the fat and the protein. Pad Thai is not the healthiest thing generally, as there is a lot of oil in the sauce they use, but I can't imagine it being 50 grams' worth.... Weird!
I think I am just going to get a salad anyway! There is an Asian Chicken salad that is 550 calories that sounds good!
I ended up going for lunch turkey flatbread and macaroni salad... lol - that's why smoothies are bad for breakfast - I am just too hungry by lunch! tomorrow will be better, haha
I havent posted since sunday and i cant really remember my last 2 days eating ( i have it written on my tracker but im not arsed getting up and finding it!)
But today is weigh-in day at half five this evening, and if i have gained again it will be the 4th gain in a row, and i will be really really annoyed, considering i was perfect on points for 3 of those weeks and perfect on core this week...
but anyway, so far today i have eaten:
B: Multigrain hoops
L: Yoghurt, oaty bar (2)
D: 2 of my friends are coming over and we're getting takeaway!
B: whole wheat tortilla (3) w/ laughing cow cheese wedge (1) scrambled egg whites (1) and hot sauce; glass of skim milk (2)
S: coffee (1)
L: gomaee (1); sushi (10) (superfoods: spinach, tuna, salmon, asparagus, avocado, green tea)
S: smoothie: spinach, strawberries + blueberries, watermelon, orange juice (2)
D: whole wheat pasta broccoli cheese bake (6); chicken breast (3)
30/25
30 flex points left
11 superfoods
I had a perfect day planned until all the girls at work wanted to go for sushi I made good choices though just ate a lot. But it was all fresh, no fried and I picked rolls with super foods! I can save myself 2 points by skipping my smoothie.... but it has lots of superfoods with it, so I think I should have it!
Mind if a dude joins in?
B - 2 eggs scrammbled, one and a half slices of bacon, tbsp ketchup (9 points)
L - 2 slices of toast, tsp miracle whip, one whole tomato (such a good sandwich for 4 points) and a banana (6 points)
S - small bake of pretzels - 2 points
D - steamed carrots, baked french fries, and a lean pocket - 14 points
S - baked doritos (yeah, i need to limit the snacks haha) 3 points
34/35
I also got two AP but i'm not going to use them.
Less snack foods and more whole foods tomorrow! I also got all of my water in
Breakfast: A handful of cheese nachos (i know, im a knackbag) Multigrain hoops cereal, tea
Lunch : Baked potato and beans, cherry yoghurt
Dinner: If the thought of pasta is still repellent to me at dinnertime i will make an omelette, otherwise pasta again...

Friday 8/29
I am generally hard pressed to plan on the weekend, though I am still keeping track of things offline.
