1 banana if I'm still hungry

1 8 oz Dannon nonfat plain yogurt

D - salad wraps (2-3)

Exercise - Le gym for 1 hour. Didn't go today (monday) because I was upset about work. Bah.

I love these kinds of posts, maybe cuz I love talking about food- I truly feel obsessed sometimes, but lately it's been an obsession on healthy foods. Everyones menus sound so good, I haven't really thought of mine yet, but here goes:

B- english muffin w/ 1T PB
s- small nectarine
gym- 1 hour cardio
L- big salad with grilled chicken leftovers, tomatoes, cukes, little bleu cheese and some pine nuts- light rasp vinaigrette
no snack, gonna take a nap instead been working late at night so I need a nap.
D- Homemade Cord on Bleus- baked chicken with one slice ham and fat free swiss. steamed spinach on the side.

Have to work tomorrow night too, the hardest part is trying not to eat when I get home at 3:00 am. Just GO TO BED!

Tomorrow I'm trying a new salad for lunch! I get ridiculously excited about these things, I've been looking forward to it since last week.

B - Flax Plus cereal, 4 oz soy milk, the last of my blueberries :( (about 300 calories)
S - tea with a little soy milk and sugar, maybe some fruit
L - Chicken salad with apricots, mango (supposed to avocado but they were way overripe so I'm sustituting mango), apricots, and slivered almonds (about 300 calories)
S - nutrition bar (100 to 200 calories)
S - fruit, nuts, or popcorn
D - Chicken in vietnamese sauce, 1/2 ear of corn, green salad (about 400 calories)
S - low calorie pudding, if I have enough calories left, otherwise sugar-free candy

Exercise: about an hour of cardio, combo of elliptical and treadmill, maybe also stairs

Tonight's dinner was - hamburger and then I made a side dish that was canned corn and mushrooms with some onion and butter and garlic seasoning and I cooked that all up - it was yummy!

L- left over corn/mushroom stuff from last night with some whole wheat pasta mixed in
S- green grapes
D- no idea

6L of water and I might ride my bike - I am thinking about getting a ride in tonight as well but it is already 9.

I was just wondering... on a package on pasta if it says X number of calories in 1.25 cup / 85 gram - is that dry or cooked? Cooked takes up more room but weighs less (I would think)

I always measure it dry :)

Okay - that's what I did! thanks :)

hmm...I don't know about this one specifically. Most pasta boxes say to measure dry, but 1.25 cups dry is a LOT cooked--more than 1 serving, I would think. I would actually think cooked pasta is heavier also because it has absorbed so much water. The past in my cabinet says a servings is 3/4 cup dry (180 calories--and that's a whole-grain pasta).

Typically, I would assume it means dry--it just sounds like a big serving size to me, so who knows :dizzy:

Ooh, could you figure it out by the number of servings per container? If it says there are 3 servings per container but certainly not 3.75 cups of dry pasta, then it means cooked (and vice versa).
