I made a kickin dinner tonight after my hour on the trainer. I had some leftover arctic char (a bit like salmon, but sustainably farmed and smaller overall), so I chopped it up pretty finely and mixed it in with two of the eggs my chickens layed today. It's kind of a japanese style omelet, although I dipped it in braggs instead of soy sauce. I also sauteed a few cups of baby spinach in some ginger oil and braggs and sprinkled them with sesame seeds. I also also had some leftover white rice, so I had a half a cup or so of that. It hit the spot so hard tonight.
Ooh, Reesha, that sounds pretty good. Except the eggs. I'm still trying to make myself eat eggs that aren't fried in butter. I justify as a cost-saving measure :o and the fact that the eggs are from my friend's mom's chickens. They are fantastic!
B: Cheese (a nice cheddar, with a bit of mustard) sandwich on whole wheat bread, candy cane-flavored tea with milk and sugar.
L: PBJ on whole wheat, an apple, 3 shortbread cookies
"S": One beer (Yuengling--not bad, but not great), popcorn while watching a movie with friends
D: Bowl of turkey soup (mentioned up-thread)
30 minutes on the trainer.
I may have a snack. I don't know what it's going to be, though...
B: low salt ham and cheese sandwich on whole wheat deli flat, strawberries
L: black bean, avocado, and Mexican cheese burro on whole wheat tortilla, an apple
S: some cheese and whole wheat pita chips (5?)
D: sauteed Ahi tuna in soy sauce/oil, Israeli cous cous, salad with cranberries, walnuts, goat cheese, glass of red wine
B: bowl of rice chex, 1% milk, coffee
L: pulled pork sammy and cole slaw
D: one chicken taco, 1 beer
Dessert two cookies and a cup of tea with honey
B: Bowl of cereal, chestnut-flavored tea. (This stuff smells amazing. I would love it if my apartment smelled like it. And it tastes good to boot!)
L: Chicken sandwich with lettuce, tomato and onions; fries
S, such as it is: 1/4 of a beer
S2: Tea with milk and sugar, almonds, 4 shortbread cookies. Apparently lunch was less filling than I thought.
23 minutes on the trainer
D: Equal volumes mac&cheese and broccoli. I'm not sure what this says about either the amount of broccoli I cut up because I wasn't paying attention, or about the amount of mac and cheese I had left. A few slices of cheese (Red Dragon with ale and mustard seeds, and some kind of Welsh cheddar.)
I want to know what happened to the other 3/4 of the beer.:pQuote:

Strength training session
L: small tortilla and a roasted skinless chicken breast
D: Cajun food and beer with friends in front of my fireplace :)
Let's see: drunken chicken, crawfish etoufee, white bean chili, spinach-mushroom etoufee, brown rice. Dessert was fat-free Greek yogurt with fresh strawberries, the three of us drank 100 ounces of fresh and local Cow Bell Milk Porter. All in all I didn't to TOO badly, though too much beer. Didn't get drunk but I am sure the beer sent me way over my calorie budget for the day. Very nice evening though :)
Was it tasty?Quote:

atlantic salmon with sauteed spinach and roasted sweet potatoes for dinner.
I had three slices of whole wheat toast this morning :( toast is a serious weakness of mine!
There is nothing wrong with toast. Enjoy the toast. ;)
I'm coming to the conclusion that the only way that I can make oatmeal a workout-friendly breakfast is to put so much peanut butter in it that it becomes akin to eating peanut butter out of the jar, except without the guilty pleasure. And there's a bowl full of it.
B: Oatmeal with almonds and dried cherries.
28 minutes on the trainer doing resistance intervals. And now I know that my side still isn't up to doing that.
S: 3 fun-size Snickers bars. :eek:
L: Mac and cheese with broccoli.
S: Apple with peanut butter and caramel sauce (I alternated the two); tortilla chips and salsa
D: Turkey soup
Reese's cup, another Snickers.
See what oatmeal does to me?
Owlie, is that steel-cut oats or regular oatmeal? I find the only way I can stomach rolled oats is with LOTS of peanut butter. With steel-cut I can limit that to 1 teaspoon of PB, or a couple (5) almonds or walnuts and a few blueberries and skim milk. Yum!
You might want to consider pairing the oatmeal with more protein, perhaps a couple of scrambled egg whites or a slice or two of turkey bacon? It may just be my body and blood sugar issues but I do much better the rest of the day with something like this for breakfast. PB does have protein of course, but not all that much...
B: Steel-cut oats with 1 tsp almond butter (blech), scrambled egg whites, skim milk, coffee
S: apple
1 hour on the trainer
L: a bit of brown rice with left-over crawfish etoufee, skim milk
S: apple
D: roasted skinless chicken breast with roasted carrots and broccoli, brown rice, skim milk
