What did you eat today?

[emily_in_nc]

Reading a lot of these daily meals, I notice an astonishing lack of veggies.

Eat your veggies folks! They're low in calories and full of vitamins, minerals, and fiber that we need every day.

Not that I'm perfect, by any means, but I try to eat at least a few servings of veggies a day.

Today for me:
B - cereal w/ fruit, protein powder, and almond milk; 2 c. coffee
S - organic yogurt (banilla)
Gym time - ran 3.25 miles on treadmill
L - kale & brown rice wrapped in ww tortilla, topped with salsa and cheese, herb tea
S - 1 apple + carrot/celery/apple homemade juice
D - turkey, bean, veggie, & tomato stew on quinoa, salad, 1 Miller Lite
S - Hot chocolate

B - Homemade blueberry streussel muffin with jasmine tea.

S - Vanilla soy yogurt.

Lunch + Dinner: Lentil-pecan pâté, apple, and red onion confit on rosemary croccantinis, a vegan French dip with caramelized onion and Portobello mushroom (as the meat) on an herbed baguette with roasted garlic mushroom au jus sauce, sweet potatoe fries, and a little bit of my husband's falafel wrap and quinoa salad.

Dessert: Three of the most amazing vegan truffles I have ever had - one chocolate with raspberry ganache, one chocolate with orange cream, and one chocolate with coconut milk caramel (My husband and I were celebrating Valentine's Day since we'll both be working).

S - Lots of organic "ritz" style crackers.

I'm afraid to put this up

I'll do yesterday:

B: 2 eggs fried 1 tsp EVOO, 3 strips of turkey bacon, 1 piece of whole wheat toast with brummel and brown, coffee with sugar free hazelnut creamer

L: Costco dawg! Loads of kraut, sorry its the German in me, I can't help it. with a diet coke; I'm a sucker for a $1.50 lunch!

snack?: piece of lasagna, slice of pumpkin bread

after workout snack: cup of homemade yogurt with strawberry preserves in it

D: 2 small chicken breasts pan cooked with a little EVOO and a cup of cottage cheese

I must add I also did 90 minutes of spinning and I am doing a lot of strength training right now so I am intentionally adding more protein; I am aiming for a net of about 1500 calories on days I'm not working out and 1700 on days I do. That will go up when the weather gets better and I can do LONG rides. I'm training for a brevet but I'm also trying to lose weight at the same time, not a easy thing I'm discovering.
