Lunch, Day Nine

• tuna cakes made with 3 oz tuna, red bell pepper, onion, breadcrumbs, cilantro, cayenne red pepper, egg, lemon juice, and 1/2 tomato on top
• couscous
• 1/2 cucumber, sliced
• 5 whole almonds
• 2 cups spinach
• 1/2 cup sliced strawberries
• 1/2 tomato
• 2 tbsp fat-free Italian dressing

This was an enormous amount of food and took a lot of time to prepare. The cakes were okay, but didn't seem to benefit from the half hour of refrigeration they required, as they still fell apart some in the skillet.

The salad was fantastic, and I was surprised with how well the strawberries went with the spinach and dressing. The cucumber I'd added, since it was threatening to go bad in the fridge and I seemed to remember them being calorically negligible.
