Meals for the Day - 03/04/08
Organic honey nut cheerios and hormone free skim milk. Yum.
Breakfast: 210 calories, 1.5 grams fat, 36 grams carbs, 2 grams fiber, 12 grams protein
Skipped my usual lunch at Panera today. After two weeks of eating out, I just couldn’t hack any more restaurant food. Instead, I ate a Zone bar and another apple.
Snack: 280 calories, 6 grams fat, 46 grams carbs, 7 grams fiber, 14 grams protein
Didn’t have time to fix much when I got home today, but needed *something* else to eat, so I pulled out another can of Progresso. If only they’d make this stuff with less sodium, it’d be such a good lunch option. Needed some carbs with it (going to take awhile to come off that carb kick) so I had one of my high fiber tortilla on the side.
Lunch: 350 calories, 4.5 grams fat, 58 grams carbs, 17 grams fiber, 21 grams protein
More salad! Baby spinach, mixed baby greens, strawberries, apples, dried cranberries and a pinch of cheese with low fat raspberry vinaigrette dressing.
Dinner: 358 calories, 9 grams fat, 58.5 grams carbs, 13.5 grams fiber, 8.5 grams protein
I brought back a ton of British candy bars for my brother-in-law, who likes to try different foods. One of them was a Cadbury “Curly Whirly” which ended up being this fantastic caramel covered with milk chocolate. It was only 115 calories, so I ate it last night during our Lost marathon. Man I wish they sold those over here, it was awesome!
Dessert: 115 calories
Daily Total: 1313 calories, 21 grams fat, 198.5 grams carbs, 39.5 grams fiber, 55.5 grams protein
Exercise: No gym today. Would like to do some yoga tonight, but I don’t think it’s going to happen. Just too beat trying to catch up with email and recover from the trip home. Likely will put kids to bed, curl up with Greg to watch our backlog of missed Lost episodes and then hit the hay.

what, pray tell, is hormone free skim milk? Not sure I’ve seen that before!

Here in the states, we used to have two options on our milk. Regular and Organic. Recently, there’s been a movement to sell milk that isn’t organic, but does come from cows who are not fed “Bovine Growth Hormone.”
Our kids drink organic milk (and likely will until they are at least through puberty) but Greg and I settle for the less expensive hormone free type.

Hi Jennifer! I just found this weight loss site. Good job with the loss!!
Anyway, I wanted to chime in that I LOVE BRITISH CHOCOLATES! I was ruined for US chocolate when I first went to the UK about ten years ago. My favorites include the one you had, plus Cadbury buttons. (Nothing like the “cadbury” we have here.) But I completely developed an addiction to a cookie called Hob Nobs. (I don’t think they are low-cal though!)
The good news is, you actually can find Curly Whirlies and Hob Nobs and all these other yummy things at Giant Eagle and some Meijer stores, in the international food section. The bad news is, they are VERY expensive. Individual candy bars are a little over a dollar. A container of Hob Nobs is about $4.50.
