What did you eat today?

[Crankin]

Today:

B: scrambled eggs with veggies, last small sweet potato "muffin", black coffee
L: chicken feta sausage with a salad of mixed greens, egg, cucumber, brocolli, etc, a bit of dressing made from home-made mayo
S: protein shake (basically taking the opportunity to try out a new sample)
D: Got brave and made a large lox/avocado/jicama nori roll - I've never done this before so it was interesting. I don't have a sushi-roll-thingie, but I did manage to roll it together. Wasn't brave enough to cut it though, so I just treated it like a large round sandwich - basically. I tried out some wasabi powder and added some coconut aminos once I had made a nice paste out of it. Interesting experiment that tasted pretty good! I am sure a purest would have shuddered A couple squares of 88% dark chocolate for dessert.

At some point tomorrow I am going to cook this: using a pork loin end roast.

[Crankin]

B: one waffle with walnuts and dried cranberries, blueberries and strawberries, 2 slices of uncured bacon, coffee
L: taco salad with no shell, with flat iron steak
S: slice of Machengo, corn tortilla
D: 2 chicken thighs, grilled with olive oil and garlic, sweet potato, roasted broccoli, one glass of white wine

[Catrin]

B: 2 small slices fresh side and eggs scrambled with greens and mushrooms. Black coffee

45 minutes corrective exercises + stretching - then 90 minutes of THE hardest workout of my life - a lot of fun but very, very hard!
Post-workout Tera's whey protein shake with a small banana blended into it (it has next to no carbs). BTW, if you are looking for a really good whey protein without anything else this is a good choice and it tastes very good - the whey is rGBH free and they also have a certified organic line. I really like the Fair Trade Dark Chocolate...but I've yet to taste anything from them that wasn't good - no chemical aftertaste or that aftertaste that comes with vegan protein concoctions.

L: 1 chicken-feta-spinach sausage and onions along with a nice salad with lots of veggies + some lox mixed in. Hazelnut oil for dressing and a tangerine for dessert

S: 2 squares Endangered Species 88% dark chocolate

D: (STARVING) pulled pork (loin end roast from this recipe) and part of a baked butternut squash. One incredible New Holland Dragon's Milk Ale - very good, dark, and I am on the tipsy side after one! I've probably eaten enough today, if I get hungry again will have some fresh pineapple

I won't say everything I ate today. I did go on a very hard 22.5 mile hilly ride, during which I ate a Luna Bar.
We went out to a sushi restaurant to help Oakleaf carbo-load for the marathon. Of course, I did not need to carbo load, but I ate a huge amount of sushi and white rice, for the first time in about a year and a half.
I also have a cold and it's making me crave food I never eat.

Catrin,

Did you like the pulled pork that you made? I looked at that recipe and was intrigued. Does it have much flavor?

It is very good, moist and flavorful! The spice combination is really a good one, though I might toss in a bit more garlic and chili powder next time - but I happen to like those things quite a lot. The sauce is very nice as well, and I reserved some of it for other things rather than keeping all of it in the pulled pork when I refrigerated it. This seems a good recipe for a loin end roast.
