Another Zone bar.

After I worked out, I needed to run by the grocery for some weekend supplies. As usual, the kids snacked on bananas while I checked out. Was feeling pretty hungry myself, so I ate a “Jazz” apple. First time I’d had that variety. Not as good as my beloved Honey Crisp, but pretty good.
Snack: 80 calories, 0 grams fat, 21 grams carbs, 4 grams fiber, 0 grams
By the time I got home and got the kids to bed, I actually wasn’t all that hungry. I was also planning a night out with my best friend and her sister, so I figured I better to light on the calories to leave space for dinner and late night snacks.
Snack: 290 calories, 8.5 grams fat, 41.5 grams carbs, 3 grams fiber, 17.5 grams protein
We ended up hitting P.F. Chang’s for dinner as it was close to their house and we’d had six inches of snow that night with more on the way. Of course it also won out because they list full nutritional info for their entire menu on their web site. (I’m loving companies that do that!) I started off with an order of two of their veggie spring rolls. Oh how I adore spring rolls!
Dinner: 165 calories, 7 grams fat, 21 grams carbs, 1.5 grams fiber, 3.5 grams protein
While I’d normally order Crispy Honey Chicken at P.F. Chang’s, the web site informed me there was 1100 calories in an order of it. That didn’t count the rice. Even if I only ate half (unlikely) I’d be looking at 750 calories by the time I added in some brown rice. That said, I was thrilled to find out my favorite appetizer (Lettuce Wraps) only had 510 calories in it! So, I went ahead and ordered this as my entree and refused to share. 
Dinner: 510 calories, 12 grams fat, 68 grams carbs, 5.5 grams fiber, 28 grams protein
Oh how I love a day when I’ve got enough calories left for dessert. We were two episodes into a 7 episode Buffython, and sweet treats were calling. Since my friend and her sister are watching what they eat as well we had angel food cake with strawberries, pineapple and still frozen low fat cool whip. (Which tastes amazingly like ice cream.)
Dessert: 231 calories, 2 grams fat, 49 grams carbs, 4 grams fiber, 4.5 grams protein
Daily Total: 1486 calories, 35.5 grams fat, 225.5 grams carbs, 21 grams fiber, 67.5 grams protein
Exercise: Good work out at the gym today. 20 minutes on the treadmill at anywhere from 8-12% incline, a round of weighs (switched to new muscle groups this week) and then 25 minutes on the elliptical. Total calories burned: 450
Net Total: 1486 calories - 450 calories = 1036calories
