Food inspiration, or what's for supper?

Trail mix works great at home - for me. I do hesitate taking my trail mix packets while traveling because of people who may have peanut allergies. I didn’t take that seriously until I met someone with a severe peanut 🥜allergy- to the point where he would even react to surfaces that had previously had peanuts on them. Like airplane 🛩️trays which don’t get wiped down between flights! 😨
I wipe down everything 🧼- seat, tray, arm rest whatever is in my space! Started doing that traveling during 😷Covid.0 -
I've regressed a lot more (like two or THREE steps) towards the "yippy skippy on contact" side of things over the past 10 years but, for sure, caloric balance and satiety is easier to deal with one or TWO steps to the left! Thankfully some of the rest of the 10-year old package seems to be holding out more or less ok—with sufficient adjustments and nudges ;-)

Made myself a nice toasted sandwich on keto bread, with deli chicken, Swiss cheese, mustard, tomato and lettuce. Tasty.

Ha! I did SIMILAR!
Got "fluffy" (you don't want fluffy 'cause fluffy is way too easy to overeat! Fluffy is the "store baked" white bread which is only good on the day it's made and maybe the next)…. so grabbed two slices of fluffy (55g), added 78g of "pulled roast chicken"—yes the super expensive we didn't thrown out the leftover chickens so we charge extra for them cold stuff! Now. Let's take a poll! Did I add mustard or dill pickles or a slice of cheddar like I was planning to? NOPE. I just sliced 60g of cucumber that I saw when I opened up the fridge! Sooooooooo bread chicken cucumber oh henry bar coffee… done till dinner!
There may or may not exist a grey Houston sized elephant in this room!

Shoot PAV - if you skipped the OHenry candy bar, you could have had another whole chicken sandwich! Two sandwiches for the same 600 calories 🥪🥪

And that's why, kids, we log before we eat… and not randomly whenever (at least if we really really really really really really really really really don't want to miss anything ;-)
As I was contemplating visiting the kitchen and my glass-lock of logged into yesterday 'left overs' from the 758g of California mix, I was wondering how come I haven't bitten the dog's tail off yet!
So… there was a little gold wrapped bundle I dove into as soon as I got in the kitchen while making coffee this morning… now logged and suitably adjusted by .6 Cal to reflect its influence!
Note that cronometer has settings that allow you to add up things slightly differently than MFP. Instead of starting as sedentary and allowing for exercise activity from fitbit to adjust things once it exceeds the MFP sedentary target you can start from 'BMR'.
BMR is lower than sedentary because sedentary includes some basic movement and self care. So my target starts lower than it would on MFP but starts to increment sooner and continues to increment to midnight even with negative calories enabled (technically if asleep it would stay constant instead of decreasing).
Anyway. All this to say that the day will end up closer to an expenditure of 2500 to 2700 and not 2000…. so there's lots of eating left depending on whether I am going to ever try to do anything about the annoying "last" ~3lbs

Even understood that, lol
Tried roasting vegs 1st time - dressed from cupboard; evoo, rice vinegar, juice of 1/2 lime, molasses, scoop of canned red peppers, spices - onion & garlic powders, red cayenne pepper, dashes ginger & coriander.
Used this to toss pan of brussels & cut chunks of broccoli stalks, and a pan of cauliflower & broccoli florets, and the salmon.
Added some of the canned red peppers, diced poblano pepper & fresh squeezed lime to top of salmon and into the ricearoni pan cooked with broth.
Pretzel bites heated in the oven last 10 mins, did not add the salt. They were essentially a soft pretzel, like at Costco, in a bite shape. Rang my bell. Brought carbs/cals over target for a meal, but ok…Had a super active day.

Wow that one is looking good!!!!
Have neglected the "free" California veg. Made some "potato salad". Haven't added it up yet. It is definitely for more than one day!
527.5g potatoes, 143g white onion, 155g eggs, 89.2g dill pickles, 5.5g pickled onion, 11.5g pickled peppers, 64.g green olives, 138.5g sweet green relish, 18g granulated garlic, 67g yellow mustard, 7g lemon pepper and 680g 0% greek yogurt (the rest of the 750g didn't make it into the containers ;-)
210.5g already eaten… so about 11% on a rough estimate!
