Looks like you’re doing more at-home eating Athijade. Probably better and easier to manage than ordering in?

I am doing much better at it. In fact, for the whole long holiday weekend (I took Friday off as well), I only ate out twice. And one of those was a salad from Trade Joe's when I went to pick up some groceries so I am not sure it really counts. I did go out for pancakes yesterday morning and they were AMAZING. I got them with bananas and strawberries and not only did they pile the fruit on top, but it was cooked into the pancakes as well. Almost did not need any syrup!

Hopefully I can keep it up. It can be hard because my fatigue has been really bad on and off. There are times I want to do nothing, including cooking. But I try to remind myself that a lot of the foods I like to order in make me feel WORSE. So even if all I have is a PB&J sandwich, that is still better in the long run.

Yum!

You still managed to stick a couple of "homemade"s in there and 'jades menus are ALMOST making me drool!

Today's frozen fruit treat in the not quite above 30C yet heat wave: 280g frozen fruit (passion fruit blend or something), 100g greek yogurt, 20g 2% milk, 2 drops of sucralose.... AWESOME!

Already changed things up. I can tell that I will not want to cook tonight as my pain levels are high. So I am having a tomato sandwich for dinner.

That moves the chicken, green beans, and rice to tomorrow night and the curry to next week (my meal plan weeks are Saturday to Friday).

Yum! Tomato sandwich. I'm into cold and easy... our 100+ hot days will break this weekend, i hope!



browsed a bobs red mill variety today, and picked up flour to try focaccia making, soon, ready when the whim hits. picked up more '13 mixed beans' for soups, cornbread mix, and they had some sample individual granola to try. bagged up some grab & go snackage mixed nuts with craisins. Snack today was chilled apple, nuts, cheesesticks.

You kids are sooooooo good.....

I admit to finagling things a bit... but both based on today's weight and resting HR.... it WORKED... and I did manage to fit yesterday's "flour only" fish and chip dinner into my day...

So I ordered the all you can eat with diet pepsi but managed to finagle them into doing them flour only based on my pinky promise to not order more fish and sink the restaurant (OK they WERE willing to give me more but I refrained). POSSIBLY there may have been an extra plate of chips of which I shared half and consumed half... POSSIBLY

Generic picture - but I have made green beans on the grill and also roasted in the oven. Unfortunately I’ve never photographed my efforts so thus generic photo.

Chopped up some Rotisserie chicken breast with orange pepper and onion, seasoned with sesame oil, garlic, pepper and soy sauce, tossed with a pack of my egg white noodles. Used up three kinds of leftovers and was tasty and filling.

I guess it depends on HOW MUCH pizza and how much ice cream? A couple of slices and a scoop.... could even be as low as 1500 or so! And with walking you could well be hitting 2000... so how much pizza and ice cream and what else was involved!!!?

I had subway last night because I went to a small market after work (which was a bust) and grabbed it on the walk home. It happens.

Tonight I am making a box of hamburger helper but serving it with some broccoli. May not be the healthiest but it will be easy and tasty and still better then ordering in.

Subways a fav alternative for me and where i explored fresh spinach instead of lettuce.

whole wheat, chicken breast & cheese 6" sub stuffed with spinach, tomatoes, onion, pepperoncinis, olives, mustard on bread against the cheese, splashed with vinegar on veggies, sprinkled with parm and pepper... and diet pop is a fav go to, out and about meal of mine.

Haven't calced. Would guess 4-500 cals max, more if mayo or oil added.

All sounds yummy @Yoolypr

--back to typical eating for sure, but
... maybe hold off scale a few days for post-travel swelling to flush out? My feet/hands get it worst, especially on long, seated flights.

whole wheat, chicken breast & cheese 6" sub stuffed with spinach, tomatoes, onion, pepperoncinis, olives, mustard on bread against the cheese, splashed with vinegar on veggies, sprinkled with parm and pepper...

Going from Canadian values. white italian 6" is 160 but multigrain is 190 and harvest grain 210. So your "260" base chicken breast would be about 290 ish.

Even though whole wheat should be a bit less than multigrain I have some doubts about all the toppings adding up to no more than 100 Cal... but it is not wildly off base either.

Mustard 10 to 15Cal on a 6". Unless you're going seriously yellow. Subway cheese is usually 45 to 60 Cal for their thinner than normal slice (11g to 14g per two halfs vs regular package slices that are closer to 18 to 21g).

So you are looking at 360 to 400 at most.

My lower cal 6" subways (on white) are:
--veggies only (I figure about 280 with cheese, 310ish on one of the more interesting breads)
--and then add about 75 to 90 Cal for any one of the: Grilled chicken, black forest ham, turkey breast, roast beef, or steak and cheese. I tend to make them with "real" cheddar or "pepper jack". And only add mustard and pepper. Sometimes salt and pepper.

Interesting choice there with the vinegar Adventuresome one! I will maybe try it! I tend to not want to add "wet" ingredients to avoid "bread disintegration"... but it might work!

(Of course it is entirely possible that most of the time I would order a footlong and add a bag of chips... but that's another story!)
