    @Athijade I happily volunteer myself to help eat your leftovers. :)

    Yesterday
    First thing: tea with milk
    Brunch: tortilla with leftover roasted chicken, homemade cowboy caviar, salsa, sour cream, avocado, lime juice, and lots of cilantro.
    Dinner: ^ same
    Late night: 1 beer and veggie straws

    Some foods I could never get sick of, and that tortilla is one.

    Please do! I hate wasting food but I need some variety in my diet and just can't take another night of ziti. I now know to make half a recipe. I didn't think about how much less I would eat of it now that I was caring about the calories again.

    Breakfast - Oatmeal with almond butter, brown sugar, blueberries, and banana

    Lunch - Salad with mixed greens, roasted sweet potatoes, roasted brussels sprouts, roasted beets, chicken, feta, slivered almonds, and a garlic vinaigrette, Bubly

    Snack - Applesauce

    Dinner - Red curry with chicken, bell peppers, spinach, zucchini, cashews and bamboo shoots, rice

    Snack - Tea of some sort, maybe a banana

    Also, I love this thread because I get to see what others in a similar situation are eating. Maybe I can steal some ideas.

    Thanks. I think I started craving the flavors when I saw a taco salad listed here--think it was yours! I just throw it all together, but I do roughly follow this recipe for the cowboy caviar. (I use much less sugar though bc I prefer the taste that way.) https://www.culinaryhill.com/cowboy-caviar-recipe/

    Breakfast: toaster waffle with butter & sugar free syrup, fried egg, coffee

    Snack: coconut Greek yogurt, more coffee.

    Late Lunch: going out for Chinese with my husband but I'm planning to have egg drop soup only.

    Dinner: I'm cohosting a friend's birthday party and she's on a weight loss plan so I made a bunch of trays of healthier fare and will likely dip into them during the evening. They include blueberries, fresh pineapple, strawberries, cara cara oranges, blood oranges, navel oranges, pretzels, pecans, walnuts, cucumber slices, broccoli, mushrooms, baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, and of course for those who want it, ranch dressing.

    Honestly though I hope her husband (my cohost) still got a cake. I love frosting! :D

    So yesterday's red curry leftovers did not happen because I wasn't feeling well. I don't think my lunch agreed with me. So I ended up making a bowl of rice, some roasted sweet potato and brussels sprouts, cashews, and some sweet thai chili sauce. Was really good and it didn't upset my stomach anymore then it already was.

    But for today....

    Breakfast - Nothing

    Lunch - Omelet with spinach, bell pepper, mushrooms, and cheddar cheese topped with avocado and hot sauce, whole grain toast

    Snack - Nothing Planned. Maybe a banana with peanut butter if I get the munchies.

    Dinner - Asian glazed salmon with broccoli and rice

    Snack - Tea of some sort
