Another yummy Honeycrisp apple. I can tell my body is adjusting to less food though. I’d actually brought along a Zone bar as well, but decided I only needed the apple. Yay!

Another Tuesday, another Panera lunch. Made a few changes from last week to see if I could save on calories and increase my fiber. Same french onion soup and cafe salad with baguette as last time.
This time I swapped the french baguette for the whole grain one. That gave me three times more fiber and an extra gram of protein for the same calories and carbs.
I also had them leave both the croutons and the cheese out of my soup. that saved me 140 calories, 7 grams of fat and 11 carbs, but it also lost me 7 grams of protein. (Well, it would have, then I ate my soup and realized they put cheese on the bottom. No croutons though, so at least there’s that. Edited post to reflect new numbers.)

Same snack as always, this time in Fudge Graham flavor. Tasty, but not near as filling as some of the other Zone bars.
Snack: 210 calories, 7 grams fat, 23 grams carbs, 3 grams fiber, 14 grams protein
I was getting a little tired of chicken and didn’t have time to thaw the Mahi Mahi in my freezer tonight, so I threw dinner together with what I could find on hand that seemed healthy. For this one, I sauted some fresh garlic in a some olive oil then tossed in some fresh zucchini, yellow squash and white mushrooms. I put this over whole grain pasta and served it with some organic marinara sauce. Took awhile to do the math on this one, but it was pretty good.
Dinner: 403 calories, 11 grams fat, 80 grams carbs, 13 grams fiber, 15.5 grams protein
Exercise…um yeah, there was none. I had hoped to do some more yoga tonight so I could trade that for cookies and milk, but I realized I didn’t really want the cookies and milk and I definitely didn’t want to work out four days in a row. So, I took a break from both dessert and exercise.
