    Breakfast: I had a really bad headache this morning, so it was just a bowl of Lower Sugar Apple and Cinnamon oatmeal with sliced banana on top. Thankfully my coffee saved me <3

    Lunch: Fish Cake on a light bun with cheese and tartar sauce. Fries.

    Dinner: I'll probably grab a turkey sub from Subway as I'm at work tonight and didn't meal prep anything. I do a six inch turkey, lettuce, green peppers, banana peppers, cucumber, and a drizzle of light mayo. Probably baked chips as a side.

    Snack: Not sure. Maybe a Yasso bar when I get home.

    Breakfast: French bread toast with peanut butter, cara cara orange, iced moka.

    Lunch: salmon salad on saltines, crudites (baby carrots, tomato slices, yellow pepper, broccoli) with ranch dip.

    Dinner: Instant Pot "roast" chicken, rice, pan gravy, green beans, yellow squash.

    I'm going to try not to snack today -- I tore my Achilles tendon last week, so my activity is seriously reduced. (And it's not like I was a triathlete before, LOL.) I won't beat myself up if I end up grabbing an apple or some cheese, but the plan is not to snack. I'm also having slightly smaller, lighter meals.

    Meal 1:
    *two medium-boiled eggs (TBH though, I'm getting kind of tired of eggs...I might go on an egg hiatus....)
    *hot cereal -- extra thick rolled oats, ground flaxseeds, unsweetened cashew milk, mixed berries, cinnamon
    *two slices of Ezekiel 4:9 cinnamon raisin bread with no sugar or salt added natural almond butter
    *vegetable plate -- cooked spinach and tricolor bell peppers, raw tomato, with hot sauce and black pepper (I can't wait to buy all fresh vegetables this weekend. I've been buying mostly frozen for things like greens due to the lack of food inspections in the past few weeks, but they don't have a very good texture.)
    *vitamin D3 supplement

    Meal 2:
    *avocado toast -- two slices of toasted sprouted grain bread with half an avocado divided between them (oh no, now I can't buy a house!)
    *4 squares of Endangered Species milk chocolate
    *two cups of decaf English breakfast tea with 1/2 cup unsweetened cashew milk in each

    Dinner:
    *mixed plain whole-milk yogurt and plain lowfat kefir
    *chickpea pasta with extra virgin olive oil, frozen vegetable mix (snap peas, carrots, onions, and mushrooms), a tomato, and red pepper flakes. (I eat lentil or chickpea pasta a lot because it's fast to make with little cleanup and has a lot of protein and nutrients...I also wish I had nutritional yeast to put in this but I forgot to buy it AGAIN even though I put it on my list!)

    *probably will take melatonin later

    overall goals: no white flour, about 6g refined sugar, 95g protein

    It's amazing scrolling through everyone's meals. What works for some would definietly not work with me.
    Breakfast: I fast from 7pm-12pm.
    Lunch (typical workday): 1/4 of a low cal wrap filled w/ 2-3 ounces of sliced turkey breast and 1 slice of swiss. 2 hard boiled egg whites, 12 olives and 1/2 cup of cut green beans. My total lunch is usually 200-250 calories.
    Dinner: I alternate to keep things fun but I always try to stay under 1000 calories. We eat out almost every night so I've quickly found the restaurants that are calorie-friendly.
    Snacks: homemade beef jerky and portioned candies (bad sweet tooth).

    Breakfast: leftover thin-crust pizza with artichoke hearts, Canadian bacon, and olives; glass of milk; no coffee, which means I am Very Sad.

    Lunch: crudites (cucumber, broccoli, baby carrots) with ranch dip again, and a few crackers with peanut butter.

    Dinner: I'm taking my son clothes shopping after work, so my reward for survival will be making elaborate nachos and having a couple cocktails. I feel this is more than fair. :D

    Looking back over this, it... does not appear to be the healthiest day ever, but I am so tired and I have to get around with a weird wheelie one-leg scooter thing which means grocery shopping is a nightmare, and I officially don't even care about anything anymore. I will care next week. Maybe.

    Snack: Probably a Yasso bar or my homemade protein cookie dough.

    Change of plans on dinner yesterday. I waited too long to eat, ran out of energy/time, and instead had a Taco Bell fresco style bean burrito, which got rid of my avoiding white flour goal...oh well.

    Anyway, today:

    Meal 1:
    *two slices sprouted whole grain bread
    *overnight oats -- extra thick rolled oats, ground flaxseeds, plain low-fat kefir, a mixture of unsweetened soy and cashew milks, frozen mixed berries, and a scoop of unsweetened cacao powder. I'm still experimenting with this so I tried adding more liquid than yesterday. Still not sure whether the oats will be fully digestible though since they still were chewy and looked the same as uncooked oats. But overnight oats are so much better than hot oatmeal. With the amount of liquid added, and the fact that frozen berries release a lot of juices when they thaw out, it's like a cold and refreshing really thick smoothie. I realized that I prefer more refreshing things for my first meal. I will continue playing around with this recipe. I think I might try cooking the oats first, cooling them, adding the cold ingredients and refrigerating overnight, and then stirring really well before eating, so hopefully it would still be cold and smoothie-like but more easily digestible.

    Snack:
    *four Morningstar vegetarian sausage links. Not the healthiest but sometimes you just get a craving.
    *two slices Ezekiel 4:9 cinnamon raisin bread with coconut butter
    *two cups decaf English breakfast tea with a mixture of unsweetened soy and cashew milks

    Dinner (went out to local Italian restaurant for date night with husband):
    *two small pieces crusty bread with a bit of olive oil
    *mushroom and cheese risotto. I ate about 3/4ths of the plate and my husband ate the other 1/4th, as he is training for a marathon and so can generally finish my food if I can't eat any more.
    *less than half of a diet Coke with lemon. I ordered it but then I realized diet Coke is pretty gross and I regretted it.

    Not sure on goals today since I don't feel like estimating for dinner so I'm just going to do a quick add today. This was definitely an unhealthy day but sometimes you just have to have one.
