What did You Eat Today?
Thanks to Luv we have this thread! I might include pictures some times but I didn't take one of lunch. My boyfriend says that it didn't look very appetizing. I kind of agree. But it did taste good.
- Deconstructed Zucchini Lasagna
- Zucchini
- pasta sauce
- pepper jack cheese
- cottage cheese
- ricotta cheese
- garlic
- spices
- 2 eggs
- romaine lettuce
- zucchini slices
I've been eating twice a day lately so this was a full plate of food. I didn't weigh the lettuce or zucchini but that isn't enough calories to really affect the over all day since I usually eat less than mfp's goal.

I had whole grain toast with a bit of jalapeno cream cheese, an apple with a tiny bit of peanut butter, unsweetend black tea and water. I know I could save on the calories by skipping the cream cheese and peanut butter but I like them. I meet my calorie goal by the end of the day so I don't get too worried about it. I am not snacking on sugary snacks that way that I used to and that's the important thing for me. Baby steps.

I tend to do bowls, soups, salads, bento, so it was interesting to 'deconstruct' my 5+c salad. Usually i just add all then stir.
Deconstructed - 3 cup mixed salad from bag, 2/3c green beans with a bit of mixed vegs from dinner prior night.
2T Ranch, squirt mustard,
4 oz diced ham
1/3c (1oz) shred cheese,
For health reasons 2T craisins, Tbsp minced garlic,
Pepperoncini slices (fermented food)
This was 545 cals, 43 carbs, 28g fat, 29g protein, 7g fiber, 1963mg sodium. (* i blow my 2300mg daily sodium targets often from any processed foods... and today, also the ham.)
For ingredients, I shoot for the diabetes myplate design with 1/2 plate in veggies, quarter in carbs, quarter in protein (often mixed up in bowl), 500-600/meal lunch dinner.

- Chicken
- rice-a-roni chicken flavored rice vermicelli
- cauliflower
- great value taco blend cheese
- romaine lettuce
- cucumbers
- pepper
- Walden Farms Thousand Island Dressing
- Dash Garlic & Herb Seasoning Blend, Salt Free
Obviously the chicken, rice-a-roni, cauliflower and cheese were cooked in one pan. I probably should have taken the picture after I mixed the lettuce together but oh well.

Wow, this all looks great. I had 144 grams of Strawberry Okios triple zero, 47 grams of simply granola and a 87 gram apple for breakfast. Work lunch with my team, so about 450 grams chicken and rice soup with 159ish grams hummus with celery and cucumber. And a Clean protein bar for a snack. Not much of an appetite now, so will see what dinner brings.

Lunch ham salad (557 cals)
Added a torn tangerine and cut 1/2 of the craisins from yesterday. The tangerine added nice moisture. The 2 serves petite brussels added weight that made it feel substantial. May just use 1 serv instead of 2 next time I have brussels on hand.
My fav type blend
