    Let me add, again that hummus is a GREAT Veggie dip. Make sure you look in the deli for FRESH don't get the canned it is *icky*. I like the kind that has roasted red peppers in. It's made out of chickpeas (garbanzo beans) so it is a dip that is a veggie (I think?).... does that count as 2? And if it has roasted red peppers in it, does that count as 3? :laugh: :laugh: Anyways it is tasty, and a good source of protein.

    Ive never tried Hummus but have been so tempted....what brand do you buy? My local supermarket has samples of hummus out all the time. I tried the garlic and somthing and it was ok,way to srtong of a garlicy flavor....haven't tried the roasted red peppers. They have several different brands of hummus there though...im not sure which one is the best?

    Funny, you might not realize how important support really is.

    Yesterday around 4 pm I was checking in and logging food. For the 1st time I looked to see what fruits/veggies I had consumed in the day!

    I actually ADDED red peppers to my dinner so I would have my 5 for the day!

    Go Black TEAM!!

    So far today I've had two clementines, a whole grapefruit (2 servings!), and some mixed vegetables with my Healthy Choice lunch. So I've got 4 in, and will be having some type of veggie for dinner. I am getting ready to head to church, and I will probably take a salad to eat in the cafe before the service. Yay!

    Oh I likes hummus....white bean hummus, black bean hummus, red pepper hummus, artichoke hummus, you can make it with tahini, or low fat yogurt, garlic or scallions.....add some chopped black or green olives....italian seasonings or basil....lemon or vinegar....

    I have made it so many ways my husband now asks what type of that bean crap I am making THIS weekend!! :laugh:

    Dude, I'm right there with you. :noway:

    Dinner will be better. I'm making this thing I call Mexican Fiesta Thingy. That's its offical name. LOL I brown beef (or turkey if I have it) with onion & green peppers, add a can of diced tomatoes, about a cup of frozen corn, taco seasoning, finish it off by baking corn bread of top of it. Delicious. I have no idea what kind calories are in it, but it is good & I haven't made it in forever! I should go plug that recipe in now that I think of it.

    I forgot. Mine had kidney beans in it tonight, too since i was out of black beans & my 3yo was screaming "BEANS BEANS BEANS!" at the top of his lungs. LOL

    My calories are beefed up on it b/c I add the corn bread on top of it (milk, egg, Jiffy mix).

    For lunch, I ate a 6" turkey sub with lots of lettuce (Yes, that is how I order it. "Can I just have a lot of lettuce?...Can I have some more?...A little more?...Okay, that's good.")

    After my workout tonight, I had an apple (because I didn't have enough calories for the fudge round that I really wanted). Oh, and I had a banana today. I had leftover spaghetti for supper. Does spaghetti sauce count as a veggie?
