I have been fighting off hunger this week (it is a certain week, if you know what I mean) and I was needing something to satiate me until my real snack time at 11. However, I didn't want fruit this time so I played it safe with 40 calorie slice of whole wheat bread from Sara Lee, filling but without tons of calories.
Snack - 11 am
90 calorie Fiber One Chocolate Peanut Butter snack bar (same one as yesterday).
Lunch - 1 pm
I used leftover pulled chicken from last night's meal with some provolone cheese and spinach to make a wrap. I use the reduced fat Provolone and Joseph's brand (c) Flax, Oat Bran and Whole Wheat Pita to make my meal.

Snack - 3 pm
Chocolate Peanut Butter bite (same as yesterday. Did you know you should have about 2 ounces of dark chocolate everyday? I use a minimum of 60% cocao but if you can stand the extra bitterness go for the 70%. Ghirardelli makes the best!)
Dinner - 5:30
Taco Bell Fresco Steak Soft Taco

May 17th Menu
Breakfast: 8 am
1 packet Quaker True Delights Wild Blueberry Muffin Oatmeal
This is the only packaged oatmeal I will eat because a) it's the one that tastes the best and b) it's only 150 calories and extremely filling!
Nutritional Info:
Snack - 11 am
Fresh watermelon and 2 tsp. of sunflower seeds.
Nutritional info: (Basically, I'm just counting the sunflower seeds since watermelon is said to be a "negative calorie" food.)
100 cal., 7g fat, 1g sat. fat, 0mg chl., 65mg sodium, 5g carbs, 1.5g fiber, 1.5g sugar, 3g protein
Lunch - 1 pm
1 slice of Schwan's pepperoni pizza and a bag of Harvest Chips. More watermelon. (I forgot to keep the stuff for the nutritional info on these things. Oops!)
Snack - 3:30
Finished off the package of watermelon and had 2 fresh baked cookies from my etsy store.
Dinner - 7 pm
Texas Roadhouse Salmon with fresh vegetables and green beans. I also had 2 rolls with their cinnamon butter. (I can't help myself when it comes to bread! I refuse to give it up. So, I try to compensate in other areas.)
(I have no idea what the nutritional info is on this item. Sorry!)
Tip: When I eat out, I divide my plate in half and resolve to take the rest of it home in a doggy bag. We're told to eat slow. We should take 15 minutes to eat every meal so we can allow the food to reach our stomach and begin to feel full so we will eat less. I can't eat slow, even if I try to make a conscious effort to really slow down. It's like trying to talk without using my hands.
PLUS, with restaurant portions getting to be elephant feeding frenzy size, it's no wonder we're hating ourselves when we walk away from the dinner table!
So, I cut my food in half and ask for a to-go box so I can enjoy my meal again at home.
