    mine was weird today.
    I didn't want to have meat (going to a company bbq
    tonight and am freaking out about the calories BUT
    have it all planned out to a Tee AND my husband
    will be with me - he's a good motivator).

    today for lunch I had 2 Ry Krisp Multigrain crackers
    with smashed avocado and sliced tomatoes on top.

    I wish I could find a lower calorie tortilla that I actually liked. I've tried the La Tortilla Factory ones, but they just seem kind of cardboardy. The whole wheat one is 170 cals, which is a bit high, but they taste so much better!


    Have you thought about trying corn tortillas? I eat the El Milagro corn tortillas and they are great. Although I do have to confess that I grew on these as I am 1/2 mexican!
