    Went to a restaurant - didn't look at the menu - just asked for grilled chicken and steamed veggies!
    A friend of mine advised that - never look at the menu and try and change the order - that upsets the server - just tell them what you want!

    I had 2 bowls of Olive garden Zuppa Tocana soup (340 calories) and two bowl of their salad (350 calories)! Tons of calories, but I had some to spare. Now the sodium on the other hand, sent me over by 1500 if the info from MFP is correct. I may have to drink more bottles of water to help flush some of it from my system and make sure that my dinner contains no sodium.

    I had a 6 oz chicken breast (pan-cooked) sprinkled with black pepper, cut up and put on top of 2 cups of raw spinach with about 1/4 of a cucumber and a large handful of baby carrots. I don't need dressing or anything on my salads anymore - I've realized that I like the natural taste of vegetables, so why hide it with dressing that just adds unnecessary sodium and calories?

    About 370 calories - 305 from the chicken and 65 from the salad.

    Whole Foods Market:

    15 Wasabi Crackers - 120 cals
    .4 oz (1/2 cup) Tuna Salad - 260 cals

    5 oz. grapes for later and a Yoplait Splitz in Strawberry/Banana flavor!

    I went to Subway and got a 6" ham on wheat with a ridiculous amount of jalapenos and banana peppers. However, I didn’t realize how many calories that olive oil and swiss would add. I am at 350 calories. Plus Subway guy is my buddy and knows my standard lunch includes two white chocolate macadamia nut cookies and I just couldn’t say no. So I made my coworker eat one and the other one is sitting on my desk tempting me. BUT I won’t eat you cookie! Oh no! I know you are 210 calories and I want to be able to snack tonight so I will not eat you!

    I feel like Frodo with the ring right now.

    Panera Bread - Pick 2 1/2 Greek Salad with the tiniest amount of dressing (190 Calories) and the smoked turkey on country bread minus the mayo. The nutrition info says 280 calories but I'm thinking minus the mayo it should not be more than 200 calories. It was delicious!!

    I cleaned the inside freezer, and found a single Starkist Seasations tuna mediteranean medley. So, I nuked that for lunch, and had some leftover zucchini and yellow squash from last night's dinner. It was quick, and yummy, a great thing on a busy day like I've had today.

    I got the glazed ham, cut carrots, spring blend veggies and a mini corn cobb at the cafeteria here. Only ate one bite of ham and ate the veggies. After I got back to my dorm I had two boiled eggs to make up for it though so I would have some protein before hitting the gym. =_=
