Taking a cue from Adam Brown's recent post, write a post documenting what you
eat in a day! Feel free to add links to recommended
recipes/shops/whatever. Make it an ideal day or a come-as-you-are day –
no judgments either way. (Thank you, Katy of Bigfoot Child Have
Diabetes for this topic.)
Thankfully I’ve been in the process of trying to lose weight which
for me means writing everything I eat down so this wasn't too hard.
6:30am – 2 packets
of Peaches & Cream Instant Oatmeal, a large cup of coffee with sweetener
and half & half.
9am – an apple
11:30am – 3 cups
of mixed greens with some chopped up cucumber, red peppers, and celery. I also
throw in some feta, cooked chicken and dried cranberries for flavour and top it
off with low fat Greek dressing. I usually add a yogurt on the side as I need
to up my dairy count.
2:30pm – mixed veggies
and hummus. Usually some carrots, celery, peppers, and/or cucumber
6pm – Last night
I had balsamic pork tenderloin with some rice and brussel sprouts.
Not very exciting. This is pretty much what I eat every day
although with variations.
For example, breakfast can consist of 2 scrambled eggs, 1 cup
of berries (whatever is in the fridge), and a piece of whole grain toast and
butter or maybe pancakes if I’m feeling the need for carbs. Lunch sometimes has
chicken caesar salad, or a meat, lettuce and cheese sandwich on whole grain
bread with some cut up veggies on the side. Dinner usually consists of some
sort of meat choice, a starch and some veggies.
That’s it. Pretty standard. Well except for the wine that
makes it in on the weekends J
