What did you eat today?

[spokewench]

Those of you who are consistent about posting here regularly, can I ask a question? Do you eat your meals/food and then write it down (or remember it) to post here, or do you plan it out in advance so posting here is just transferring it from some other medium?

I actually post yesterday's food when I post - usually post in the morning first thing when I get up and check all my emails, etc.

I either post my meals right after I finish dinner (like now), or the next morning. Sometimes, I have trouble remembering the previous day's breakfast, if it's the next day.

B: whole wheat cheese crisp with chicken breast, a sprinkle of low fat cheddar, green chili salsa, tomatoes, blueberries, coffee
L: finished the left over chicken salad from yesterday, with a handful of nuts, cranberries, chocolate
S: slice of Ezekial bread
D: portabella mushroom sandwich , with red pepper rings, mayo/yogurt, on Ezekial bread, cole slaw, roasted red pepper/tomato soup

Like Crankin, I generally post right after dinner. Outside of the weekends my diet doesn't vary all that much so it is pretty easy to remember, I also track it in Lose It to keep track of my numbers. Posting it here keeps me honest.

Today:

B: steel cut oats with blueberries, whole egg + egg white, skim milk, coffee
S: banana
L: Remainder of the spinach/feta pasta salad and added some sweet basil turkey chicken sausage. Blueberries + 0 fat Fage Greek yogurt for dessert.
S: Power bar

1 hour group training class
30 minute Bosu class

D: Skim milk, 4 oz roasted skinless chicken salad with the last of the amaranth leaves, mushrooms, sweet peppers, carrots, cherry tomatoes, homemade vinaigrette and a bit of grated sharp cheddar. Dessert was a few strawberries with 2 tablespoons Blue Bunny mint chocolate chip ice cream At this rate the 1/2 gallon is going to last until September

Crankin, it is interesting reading your breakfast choices, I need to start mixing things up a bit before I get tired of my steel cut oats.

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. About 9 years ago I bought a low glycemic type eating plan/cookbook, which had a 3 phase eating plan to help lose weight and keep it off. I did lose 5 lbs., and also found lots of good different things to eat for breakfast. Some of the recipes are a little out of date now, like with artificial sweeteners, but I like the combinations of foods in there.
I've always eaten "real" food for breakfast. Except now, it's not left over pizza or Chinese food, cold, right out of the fridge.
