I'm eating healthy now...organic, all natural, processed as little as possible. I bring all my food for the day. Typical day is:

Breakfast at home - Kashi Go Lean cereal, skim milk or, boiled egg, melon, slice of Nature's Own no sugar added toast. Or maybe steel cut oatmeal and fried egg.

Snack - fat free cottage cheese, fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, etc.) or grapes.

For a while I ate Kashi microwave lunches, and after that I ate Amy's lunches, but now eating a wrap. I bring all of what I need for a week's worth, on Monday morn.

Lunch - Whole wheat tortilla with organic mustard, roast turkey or ham (organic, no antibiotics or preservatives), organic swiss or cheddar cheese, alfalfa sprouts, tomato, red onion, and handful of hot peppers. (226 calories, 9g fat, 23 protein)

Snack - baby carrots, reduced fat cheese stick. Sometimes it's celery and naturally more peanut butter.

Stormie - are you a Deadhead? ;)

Deadhead...as in "hippie"?

No, I'm more your basic rebel- goth-biker-gamer-accountant type :angel:



(who is finally taking care of her body)

Today:

Boneless Pork Chop in Barbeque Sauce with variety rice (fancy stuff mix ... white, brown, wild, and red. Who knew there was red rice?)
cooked it all my ownself.

LaYogurt Peaches and Cream

Cherry Dr. Pepper

I'll probably throw in a couple of K-Cups, and a candy bar I don't really need.

Fuji Apple

Smart Ones Thai Chicken and Rice noodles
Raw broccoli
140 grams of cherries (exactly!)
Fiber One chocolate & oats bar
100 calorie Smart Pop popcorn
Low fat cottage cheese
Coke Zero
Tea
Coffee (black)

Woo -- I get a 1000 calorie dinner! Chipotle, here I come!

I am having roasted chicken, rice, fruit, and a salad. I am guessing the fruit and salad may end up being snacks and not actually part of the lunch

you can't have any salt with it though! holy fucking sodium, batman!

And unfortunately, the Smart Ones has 620 sodium and the cottage cheese has 380. When I go over my daily limit of 1500 sodium, it's almost always due to cheese and processed foods :sniff:

I heart cheese.

Fuck sodium. I have marginally low blood pressure; I can only afford to worry about so many things at once. :rolleyes:

Lean cuisine apple cranberry chicken
sugar snap peas -- 100g
cherries -- 200g
fiber one bar
100 cal popcorn
mini babybel light
black coffee
tea

936mg sodium so far, ya happy?

have we met? My name is Mr Pot.

:lol:

reading that there nutrition information is a killer. I never worried about sodium before. Now I decided I just can't or I may as well be turned into a pillar of salt right here and now. And to think I always envisioned myself as an eat-to-live rather than live-to-eat type person :rolleyes:

I'm using DailyPlate to track what I eat. It works pretty well. I see (and am appalled by) the sodium content in the pre-packaged foods I eat, but given that portion control is where the game's at, I can't afford to take it too seriously.

Down 13 lbs so far.

Way to go, Pie!

I made all the stuff for salad yesterday (cheaper to cut up own veggies than to buy pre-cut or pay the outrageous salad bar price) but I was so disappointed in the lettuce and the celery...they looked like hell on display and looked worse cut up.

I've never seen striated iceberg lettuce like that before. I don't even want to eat it. It might taste OK but it just looks weird to me. The celery can best be described as spindly.

If I hadn't been so tired I would have tried a different store. I wish I had, now.
