I went to bed around 5am, with reruns of Married...With Children playing thanks to TBS. I woke up around 11, was hungry and had a can of pears. They were packed in water instead of the gross sugary syrup. while that can may have been 3 servings, I ate it all.
It was worth 120 calories and 0 fat. I'll take it.
Lunch rolled around soon after. Mom took my nephew to the mall for something or the other, so I took the opportunity to make black bean burgers. Fairly simple. 6 ingredients, but I was missing two of them. They came out pretty good, but they might have been better with ketchup and onion powder.
Regardless, I got the recipe from here http://www.forksoverknives.com/sample-recipes-from-everyday-happy-herbivore/ Scroll down a bit, that's a sampling from the Happy Herbivore.
I took a wheat tortilla for my black bean burger, warmed it up added some salsa, and had lunch!
Lunch was 190 calories a majority of those coming from the tortilla and 2 fat grams. All from the wheat tortilla.
After I got in from my exercise, I rested for a bit, mom came home with an eggplant, and it's been a while since I had that, she was craving eggplant parm, and while it sounded good, I just had eggplant and marinara sauce. The skin was extra chewy, so I ate around it, but with the sauce it was quite good.
That meal came to 90 calories and 0 fat. (I am being awfully generous with the definition of meal here.) 70 of calories were from the serving size of sauce that was used.
Dinner came, I ran back the black bean burger. Again with a tortilla, this time I went with hummus in place of the salsa, and it was 210 calories and 3 grams of fat. The oil in the hummus added a gram.
Desert was a strawberry ice (Luigi's italian ice is vegan btw.) 100 calories, 0 fat.
It's 9pm est, baseball is on, and I am going to try to create an article for the magic site I write for.
Todays totals are 710 calories, 5 grams of fat and 6 cups of water. Had a nap and have felt full all day.
I'll be back tomorrow with a weigh in (those will be weekly) and my meals for monday!
Canned Pears and Peaches in juice instead of syrup is one of my favorite sweets. So yummy. I like them chilled, I just keep the cans in the fridge.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're doing good so far. I got dieting in 2011-2012 and kept most of it off so if you need some encouragement or someone to chat with hit me up.
Thanks Jam, between the can of pears and the half a banana I had later on that is the most fruit I've eaten in 5 years. I'll put a can in fridge to see how good they are cold.!
