What did you eat today?

[Crankin]

Me too!
I had to stop drinking even decaf after dinner with dessert. Once in awhile I get a feeling that I can drink coffee at dinner and be fine and it usually happens. It's weird. Yesterday I had a big iced coffee when i got home from a ride, at 5 PM and I was up all night.

B: non fat Greek yogurt, nuts and cranberries, 2 slices turkey bacon, small glass grapefruit juice, coffee

L: vegan noodles and tofu, with a spicy sauce, packet of nuts and cranberries

S: Luna Bar

D: salad with chicken, blueberries, grapes, red pepper and some kind of yogurt dressing (DH made it). 2 squares chocolate.

L: roasted skinless chicken breast, bagel

S: fresh strawberries and blueberries!

I beat that easy Muirenn. 1990.

oatmeal with flax seeds, nuts, milk, and blueberries = 300
a ww English Muffin with cream cheese = 200
veggie burger on ww English Muffin and 3 potato pirogies = 500
grilled zucchini on ciabatta roll with fresh mozzarella = 475
avocado oil potato chips = 320
cherries = 75
a Greek yogurt = 120
Oh, and I ate some raspberries off the bush, and a piece of candy but those don't count. I don't count coffee, either. It's just a little milk.

This is a very typical day for me, and I don't think I'm a pig (and I'm sure you're not a pig!). I must have a hollow leg.

I admit, I did ride. I probably wouldn't have had as many potato chips if I didn't.

Muirenn, this thread occasionally makes me feel like a pig! I'm pretty sure I'd starve (well, be very cranky) on some of these diets. I have no idea how many calories I'm eating, though.

B: Cereal and 1%, OJ
L: Turkey burger on ww bun, with ketchup, cheddar, lettuce
S: 2 slices of pound cake
S2: Granola bar, chai with milk and sugar
D: Fried brown rice (with chicken, egg), stir-fried red cabbage
D: Homemade mint ice cream

I average around 1500 calories on non-ride days, and try to net at least 1,200 when I ride. Sometimes that latter is difficult to do. I ate too much yesterday for a non-ride day - hard to say what the total was since I went out for lunch, but it was probably closer to 1700 rather than 1500...

Yesterday was a non-ride day

B: steel-cut oats with 5 almonds, dried cranberries, skim milk and coffee

L: I rarely go out to lunch - but went to a Spanish Tappas close to my workplace for lunch - they have a nice buffet with a wide variety of things: just had two saucers of food (can't really call them plates) - a very small amount of spinach salad with about .5 ounce of goat cheese, 2 shrimp, 3-4 marinated mushrooms, roasted cauliflower and some green vegetable (don't know what it was), a couple strips of roasted red pepper and grilled skinless chicken with mushrooms.

S: 1/2 cliff bar. Then my boss bribed me with 1/2 of a chocolate chip cookie from Subway...I could have resisted the full cookie but a half cookie is harder to resist Catrin the cookie monster...

D: Roasted chicken breast sandwich with Ezekiel bread, lo-fat Havarti cheese, tomato and low-fat mayo. Yummy

S: bran cereal with a little skim milk and a couple of almonds - I crave this sometimes.
