Breakfast
- Total with almonds, raisins & skim milk
- low-fat cottage cheese
Having eaten yesterday's dinner meal very early this morning, I waited until later in the morning to have my real breakfast. This was good, though I still found myself hungry by the time I got home in the evening.
Snack
- chocolate rice cakes with Smart Balance peanut butter
I was starved when I first got home, but to stave off pigging out, I had my snack right away - what a relief. I love peanut butter and chocolate, and this was intensely wonderful!
Lunch
- whole wheat fusili with tofu, peppers, tomatoes, spices, and ricotta cheese
- salad with carrots and lite creamy Parmesan dressing
- raisins
I had this almost immediately after my snack, but with the edge taken off of my ferocious hunger I found I was able to take my time and enjoy it a lot more. I'm usually a very slow eater, but occasionally when I am very hungry, I'll eat meals at what would probably be considered a normal pace, and then I miss the savoring and pleasure I usually have with food.
I didn't want to shred the carrots, and so instead I dipped them in the dressing before eating the rest of the salad, which was ultimately a lot more satisfying.
This was the last serving I had of this pasta that I'd prepared last week, and I was very pleased with what a success it was. My first thought was to buy ingredients and immediately make more, but I thought I should put that off and concentrate on my work for a while.
Dinner
- beef and pepper sautée with rice pilaf
Once again, I had my dinner very very early in the morning, when I got home at 5:30. My stomach had been growling while I was working and it was very tempting to go cobble something together out of vending machine food, but I was glad I waited to have something healthy and on the meal plan.
I didn't have the fruit that went with this meal - I had all intentions to but I ended up falling asleep before I decided what I wanted.
