Due to a hectic schedule we've been eating at restaurants a little more (not fast food). Each time, I eat only half of what's on the plate for portion control. Otherwise, I'm grabbing blueberries, walnuts, cold cuts, carrots, brocccoli, steaming rice, baking chicken, mixing corn in with w/e when I'm not cooking. (I guess I toss everything into a pan and see what comes out sometimes too. lol)

Didn't know black bean hummus existed. Sounds good!

Yeah they have it at the store now! It has corn, tomatoes, etc. in it so it's kind of Southwestern in flavor.

Breakfast: Coffee with half and half, turkey chili topped with cheese
Lunch: Leftover Moroccan chickpea, sausage, and kale soup my friend made
Snack: Grapes, lite and fit greek yogurt
Dinner: Homemade felafel in a pita with spinach, tomato, homemade tziki sauce, and probably feta cheese
Dessert: Cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows, 1 serving Enlightened ice cream

Breakfast: 2 eggs scrambled with peppers, onions, mushrooms & Sriracha, black coffee
Lunch, Part 1: 2/3 of a pepperoni Hot Pocket. Horrible to me. I can't believe I ate those daily as a teenager, ew.
Lunch, Part 2: potatoes & green beans, steamed, and 2 small homemade chocolate chip & pecan cookies with Earl Grey tea
Dinner: crab nachos (at home), heavy on the sauteed veggies & peppers, with salsa & sour cream and light on the chips & pepper jack cheese

Breakfast: I made a little breakfast sandwich out of an over hard egg with Velveeta cheese, salt and pepper on a toasted, light English muffin. Coffee with coconut creamer.

Lunch: Rottiserie chicken on wheat. Snack sized bag of Pirate's Booty. Sugar free Jello Snack Pack.

Dinner: I diced 4 oz of chicken tenderloins into nugget shapes, dredged it in Frank's Hot Sauce, then tossed it in some Extra Crispy Shake and Bake. Stuck it in the air fryer with a serving of fries, then used Bolthouse Ranch and ketchup for sauces. Serious comfort food that tasted way more decadent than 300 calories!

Snacks: Edible Cookie Dough. Seriously, your life will be changed by this hack. One tablespoon of a nut butter (the guy I swiped this from said sunflower seed butter works best because it's very neutral tasting, but I use Better than Butter Low Sodium Peanut Butter and you don't even taste the peanuts), 34 g of any flavored protein powder (experiment with flavors and mix ins!), almond or cashew milk to mix to desired consistency, and the sweetener of your choice. I will say that you often don't need sweetener if the protein is sweet enough, but I will use Truvia brown sugar or stevia for ones that aren't. Play with it. I then fold in a serving of Lily's Dark Chocolate Chips (best bang for your calorie buck) and refrigerate for a few hours. I like it fairly chilled and thick. It is so delicious and filling, and it's really just nut butter and protein powder. Quest protein has the best calorie count for this, but anything works.

Oh, and I had some baby carrots dipped in taco hummus earlier. Nice!

Breakfast - skyr yogurt, blueberries, Shreddies

Lunch - Red Pepper/tomato/lentil soup, 3 x crackerbread, banana

Dinner - Homemade pork/aubergine/vegetable mild curry, brown basmati rice

Breakfast: toast with a bit of mayo & mustard, 4 pickle slices and a fried egg, coffee
Lunch: General Tso chicken with extra veggies, no rice & 1 crab rangoon
Snack (after workout & hike): vanilla protein milk drink
Dinner: after seeing that photo above, I'm thinking avocado toast, a banana, and a pile of sauteed veggies with Sriracha

Breakfast: 2 homemade crepes with Neufchatel filling and blackberry sauce on top (just blackberries cooked down w/ almond extract), coffee
Lunch: Taco salad...TVP "taco meat", sauteed peppers & onions and 6 crumbled tortilla chips on a large salad with sour cream & salsa verde mixed together for the "dressing"
Dinner: Morningstar spicy black bean burger on toast with mayo, lettuce, pickle & onions, 1/2 serving steak fries (frozen food), 1 vegan maple walnut blondie & Earl Grey tea.

Today was sort of a fail. I have insomnia and I couldn't sleep at all last night, and only got a 2.5 hour nap. I think the cocoa powder in the chia pudding yesterday plus all the tea I drank did it, even though that was hours before my bedtime. AND I had a lot of stuff to do today (finishing work in advance of weekly meeting and doing the laundry and grocery shopping) and was out most of the day, so, I was a zombie. Food was limited to what was around and calorie-dense and required little to no preparation and didn't gross me out (not sleeping gives me nausea). So, avoiding white flour and sugar were a total fail...back on the horse tomorrow. At least I avoided caffeine though.

Breakfast: (aka "meal eaten after giving up on sleep and going for a long walk in the freezing cold to wake up"):
*ONE birthday cake protein bar
*16oz unsweetened soymilk
*8 Wasa rye/flax/oat/sesame crispbreads
*1/4 cup raisins

Lunch (my husband wanted to do work at Panera today...Panera annoys me because all their plant-based options are very low in calories and/or expensive):
*Pick Two with grilled cheese and tomato soup with croutons, apple on the side
*32oz plum ginger hibiscus unsweetened iced herbal tea (at least Panera has unsweetened herbal iced tea which most places don't)
*brownie (which was way too sweet...I was just trying to increase my calorie count since I wouldn't get to eat again for several more hours)

Dinner (which I'm just eating now at 1AM...because I didn't have time to do it before):
*Amy's Organic black bean, quinoa, butternut squash, and chard bowl
*Amy's Organic non-dairy bean and rice burrito
*8oz of unsweetened cashew milk (I haven't had it in a while and cashew milk is damn good...so much better than the overrated almond milk)
*5mg melatonin
*vitamin D supplement

At least I got 87g of protein which is close to my protein goal...time to put away the laundry....

Breakfast: mini bagel with strawberry cream cheese
Lunch: salad (romaine, homemade croutons, hardboiled egg and roasted chicken with Ken's light honey mustard dressing)
Afternoon snack: Gala apple
Dinner: Polska kielbasa, roasted mixed veggie (carrots, cauliflower and broc) and baked sweet potato fries
After dinner snack: if calories left for it, sea salt & vinegar Kettle chips
