What's the best thing you ate today? (Motivational/Reflective)

As a way of trying to get to terms with my eating habits, I started asking myself what the best thing was that I had eaten that day. Doing that has really helped me confront the fact that it wasn't the chocolate bar (but the avocado and tomato with some seasalt) or the chips (but the homemade potato wedges), which is one of my first steps to coming to terms with the fact that the "filler foods" (e.g. chocolate, chips) aren't what I really enjoy eating: I mostly just do it out of habit.

So I am now asking all of you: what's the best thing you ate today?

    Today, the best thing I ate was a juicy orange when I came home from my sister's.

    My lunch was a baby spinach salad with 1 serving of shredded cheese, candied pecans, and a blue cheese vinagrette. I had an avocado but it got all brown and bruised so I had to toss it.

    Chicken salad sandwich and some tortilla chips. But, that's all I've eaten so far. After supper in a couple hours my answer will be the nachos I made. :D

    I had a delicious salad for lunch, and got an iced mocha from Starbucks on my way back to the office. In hindsight, the salad was way tastier and satisfying than the mocha! (Salad was romaine, black beans, red pepper, tomato, corn, with *small* amounts of white cheddar cheese, red pepper ranch dressing, and jalapeno chips. YUUUUUM.)

    A homemade beef soup that I made that had a ton of veggies in it. Very flavourful and delish 😁

    Canned tuna w/ mayo, chipotle peppers, bac'n bits, lettuce and tomato. Grilled between two pieces of bread. Kind of like a tuna melt without the cheese. But that's only because I ran out of cheese.

    Lunch after running errands was delicious! Fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and a banana with cottage cheese topped with roasted almonds.

    BarkThins snacking chocolate - dark chocolate blueberry with quinoa crunch. It is a perfect snack for me - a small amount really curbs the chocolate craving and the crunch is an added (much appreciated) bonus. Perfect!

    Today was a crappy day, with exams and not the best food that I don't even remember eating. So today the best thing I consumed was my evening cup of tea (that I'm still enjoying). I will probably have a piece of hard cheese with it too, before I get back to my studies.

    Coworker didn't want her lunch so she gave it to me... I open it up and there's a nice big chunk of venison in there! Yummy!

    I crumbled a Trader Joe's Thai sweet chili veggie burger on top of a serving of TJ's vegetable fried rice. Then I bulked the whole thing up with edamame, mushrooms and red bell pepper and a little soy sauce. So satisfying and nourishing!

    Today the best thing was the last of my peaches (will probably buy new tomorrow!), a perfectly ripe pear and an avocado on the right side of over ripe! It was my afternoon/before dinner snack as I settled down for another round of exam prep!

    Everything I ate all day was awesome. But my fav was probably the crispy oven fried chicken I made for dinner tonite.
