    Meal 1:
    *poppy seed bagel with Pure Blends coconut vegan butter (I usually avoid keeping anything with white flour around the house but my MIL brought home some bagels for us for some reason)
    *leftovers -- a small amount of whole-wheat spaghetti with lima beans and mushrooms
    *more leftovers -- vegetables sauteed in olive oil (fresh spinach, frozen spinach, tomatoes, and frozen stir fry blend) with nutritional yeast, garlic and onion powder, red pepper flakes, paprika, and black pepper
    *a grapefruit
    *Polar vanilla seltzer

    Snack:
    *Wholesome Pantry plain whole-milk yogurt
    *four squares Endangered Species almond and sea salt dark chocolate
    *two mugs decaf English breakfast tea with 1/2 cup unsweetened cashew milk in each

    Dinner:
    *Field Roast Italian vegan sausage and green bell pepper, both sauteed in olive oil, over red lentil pasta. This was delicious and will probably become a staple recipe for me. I definitely recommend the Field Roast sausage.
    *salad -- celery, radish greens, tomato, baby carrots, mini cucumber, radishes, McCormick black garlic seasoning

    totals: white flour in bagel, around 9g refined sugar, 98g protein

    Meal 1:
    *another poppy seed bagel. Will be happy when these are out of the house.
    *leftovers -- Field Roast vegan sausage and green bell peppers, both sauteed in olive oil, over lentil penne

    Snack:
    *16oz of Lipton Pure Leaf unsweetened iced black tea (usually avoid getting tea in plastic bottles but I already drank from my water bottle so didn't want to take it to Dunkin Donuts)
    *Clif Bar, nut butter filled peanut butter kind. I have never had this before but it was really good. It might become my emergency on the go food since it has a decent amount of calories and balance of macros, travels well, and tastes good. It does unfortunately have refined sugar but it's not that much compared to some of the other bars. I might also try to make a healthy no refined sugar version of Clif bars to have for breakfast at home.

    Meal 2: we went out to dinner for Valentines' Day but since it was around 10 PM and we don't generally make a big deal of Valentines' we ended up going to the local diner (it's a nice diner, not a greasy spoon LOL)
    *wrap with fresh mozzarella, pesto, and grilled vegetables (greens, portobello mushrooms, red peppers, zucchini, eggplant, tomato). I think the wrap was whole-wheat but not 100% sure.
    *side salad (spring greens mix, tomato, carrots, and red onion) with balsamic vinaigrette (might try to see if I can get the side salad dressing free next time)

    But seriously...eating out is the hardest thing to manage. I got one of the "healthier" choices and it's good that I had about 1100 calories left because I'm pretty sure it took up all of them! I'm also way over my fat macros for today. I don't know how people manage eating out. Since I don't eat meat that limits the choices even more. The diner also has some really beautiful cakes. Today they had a rainbow one (maybe for all the same-sex couples celebrating Valentines' Day?) and a really good looking Oreo one...I was tempted but I quoted Dr. Now to myself "fancy cake is not on the diet plan." Not even going to eat any Valentines' candy tonight since I'm already way over fat.

    goals: not sure on white flour since the wrap might have not been whole wheat, not sure on refined sugar but probably around 15-20g, approximately 94g protein

    Just polished every one of these off, destroying the evidence that they even existed. Made them, it’s one of my favorite recipes when I have the time. “Costs” out at about 750 calories.

    Trader Joe’s organic and gluten-free polenta. Topping is sautéed onions, sweet mini peppers, cherry tomatoes and sun-dried tomatoes (diced) sprinkled with ground basil and splashed with balsamic vinegar. Sautéed on stovetop on low for about 9 minutes.

    As they say in Italia, era squisito!”

    Meal 2 (doing laundry):
    *slice of pizza from local pizza place
    *about 1/3rd of an Italian rice ball with marinara sauce (they gave it to my husband for free since it was near closing time...however there turned out to be ground pork in the middle and we are vegetarian and pescetarian respectively so we ate around that part)

    *Clif Bar nut butter filled coconut almond butter flavor
    *Planet Oat unsweetened extra creamy oat milk
