I didn't make my breakfast meal until around 2pm, confirming that I am indeed back on the stupid screwy sleep schedule I escaped for a mere week.
Breakfast
- oatmeal with almonds, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla-flavored protein powder
- turkey bacon
- green tea (not on diet but allowed)
- dried apricots
This breakfast was nice and satisfying, though I halved the amount of bacon called for. I was substituting turkey bacon for Canadian bacon and I just didn't want to bother with the math, so I made what seemed like a reasonable portion and only later learned that it was not enough.
I forgot about a fruit at first, so I had these apricots just after I'd finished the rest.
Lunch
- grilled cheese and tomato on whole grain flat bread
- fresh herb salad with lite creamy Parmesan dressing
- sliced kiwi
- almonds
- 1% milk
Wow, what a perfect meal. It was a rainy, cold day outside, and I was actually craving grilled cheese and tomato soup. I found this recipe and jumped at it, swapping the flat bread for whole wheat - I think this way it resembles a pannini. I cooked it all under the broiler to make the cheese and tomato warm and gooey and the bread nice and crisp. Really hit the spot.
Combined with my beloved herb salad, I found this meal just about perfect in every way.
Afternoon Snack
- baked tortilla chips with salsa, lite creamy Parmesan dressing, and low-fat Cheddar cheese
I had this snack when I got home from class and found it so intensely satisfying that I didn't feel like eating anything else.
I only had the crumbly bits at the bottom of the chip bag, so I spread the ingredients over them instead of mixing them as a dip - wow, what a difference. So wonderful.
Dinner, Evening Snack
skipped.
I went to bed relatively early because I was still feeling light-headed and wasn't at all hungry.
