what's for lunch!?!

mine was weird today.
I didn't want to have meat (going to a company bbq
tonight and am freaking out about the calories BUT
have it all planned out to a Tee AND my husband
will be with me - he's a good motivator).

today for lunch I had 2 Ry Krisp Multigrain crackers
with smashed avocado and sliced tomatoes on top.

I wish I could find a lower calorie tortilla that I actually liked. I've tried the La Tortilla Factory ones, but they just seem kind of cardboardy. The whole wheat one is 170 cals, which is a bit high, but they taste so much better!


Have you thought about trying corn tortillas? I eat the El Milagro corn tortillas and they are great. Although I do have to confess that I grew on these as I am 1/2 mexican!

I had a morning star bean Burger and whole wheat bun. Diet pepsi
