- 2-1/2 oz turkey breast mixed with garlic powder, onion powder & 1/2 tsp Worcestshire sauce on a whole wheat bun
- a whole lot of asparagus
- 1 orange
When I woke up, I still felt awful and as hungry as when I'd come home, so I decided to prepare a balanced meal by the plan. The asparagus was meant to substitute for 2 cups salad, but I think I went a little overboard, having split the package 70-30 with my boyfriend and not bothering to measure. I feel like extra vegetables (as long as they're not too starchy) probably aren't a bad thing, and I do so love asparagus.
I skipped the healthy fries (or starch) I should have had, reasoning that the extra bread in my snack made up for it.
It felt really good to eat something reasonably healthy, especially the asparagus. I prepared a turkey burger and asparagus for my boyfriend too and found it quite pleasant for us to be eating the same food for once. I've been thinking about which meals (or components of them) I could prepare for him too, as somehow that makes it feel less lonely eating my diet food while he makes delicious dishes of his own creation (or, to drive the stake through my heart, goes out to Burger King and eats several bunless bacon double cheeseburgers!). It's a challenge living with someone on such a different diet plan, though I'm sure it's just as much of a challenge for him not being able to eat the breads and fruit which I enjoy every day.
