I'm eating healthy now...organic, all natural, processed as little as possible. I bring all my food for the day. Typical day is:

Breakfast at home - Kashi Go Lean cereal, skim milk or, boiled egg, melon, slice of Nature's Own no sugar added toast. Or maybe steel cut oatmeal and fried egg.

Snack - fat free cottage cheese, fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, etc.) or grapes.

For a while I ate Kashi microwave lunches, and after that I ate Amy's lunches, but now eating a wrap. I bring all of what I need for a week's worth, on Monday morn.

Lunch - Whole wheat tortilla with organic mustard, roast turkey or ham (organic, no antibiotics or preservatives), organic swiss or cheddar cheese, alfalfa sprouts, tomato, red onion, and handful of hot peppers. (226 calories, 9g fat, 23 protein)

Snack - baby carrots, reduced fat cheese stick. Sometimes it's celery and naturally more peanut butter.

Stormie - are you a Deadhead?

Stormieweather · 06-07-2010, 12:26 PM

Deadhead...as in "hippie"?

No, I'm more your basic rebel- goth-biker-gamer-accountant type

Today:

Boneless Pork Chop in Barbeque Sauce with variety rice (fancy stuff mix ... white, brown, wild, and red. Who knew there was red rice?)
cooked it all my ownself.

LaYogurt Peaches and Cream

Cherry Dr. Pepper

I'll probably throw in a couple of K-Cups, and a candy bar I don't really need.

you can't have any salt with it though! holy fucking sodium, batman!

Stormieweather · 06-08-2010, 10:10 AM

And unfortunately, the Smart Ones has 620 sodium and the cottage cheese has 380. When I go over my daily limit of 1500 sodium, it's almost always due to cheese and processed foods

I heart cheese.

bbro · 06-08-2010, 09:39 AM

I am having roasted chicken, rice, fruit, and a salad. I am guessing the fruit and salad may end up being snacks and not actually part of the lunch

Pie · 06-08-2010, 11:18 AM

Fuck sodium. I have marginally low blood pressure; I can only afford to worry about so many things at once.

Oh I looooooove salt! I love pickled, salty foods and always salt my dishes and my favorite things are just loaded with sodium. But it doesn't love me....

I use MyFitnessPal to track my foods, it's decent too.

Ham and pepper jack wrap for lunch. PRobably gonna do chicken and penne pasta with olives and feta for dinner.

reading that there nutrition information is a killer. I never worried about sodium before. Now I decided I just can't or I may as well be turned into a pillar of salt right here and now. And to think I always envisioned myself as an eat-to-live rather than live-to-eat type person

Pie · 06-08-2010, 12:15 PM

I'm using DailyPlate to track what I eat. It works pretty well. I see (and am appalled by) the sodium content in the pre-packaged foods I eat, but given that portion control is where the game's at, I can't afford to take it too seriously.
