Day 68

Plan: Spinach Mushroom Crepe(365), Chicken Fresco(410), Chicken Marsala(300) + snacks/extras(525) = 1600

Breakfast(630AM): Huh, not sure what happened, but I didn't see a b-fast marked for today, so I pulled out a bagel with sausage/egg.  Maybe I ate the S/M crepe yesterday???  Oh well, anyways, ate a bagel with sausage and 50 cal of cheddar.  (200cal)

Snack(1100AM): Pretzel Blast Bar (50cal)
Snack (1200PM): Apple (75cal)

Lunch(145PM): Chicken Fresco, but didn't eat some of the chicken (fatty/gristly) and didn't eat the sundried tomato or sauce.  I did eat the rest of the chicken, the artichoke hearts, the green beans, and the amazing mushroom risotto.  (350cal?)

Snack (400PM): 2 mini choc chip cookies (70calk)
Snack (600PM): Wasa crisp with Tbs of artichoke dip, 120 cal

Dinner (730PM): Baja Fresh - Unexpectedly ended up here.  The line at Chili's was too long.  Had not researched, but still picked the best menu item without really knowing for sure!  Got the Mango Chipotle Chicken Salad with no glaze, didn't eat the shell, and no dressing.  The mango salsa was enough dressing.  So, it had grilled chicken, lettuce, mango salsa, 1/5 of an avocado, a bit of cotija cheese.  The site says 390cal with dressing (I think) and it lists the dressing at 110cal seperately... ?  I guess like... 300?  And I had 10 tortilla chips with salsa (150cal).

Dessert (1000PM): At the movies.  Got frozen yogurt first - 2/3 of a cup with raspberries, a few cheesecake pieces and a tsp of chopped almonds (250ish)

Dinner (700PM):  Stuffed Chicken with Mushroom Gravy, Asparagus, Peas and Corn (340) added 1/3 cup of corn (30cal).  This was pretty good!  And new to me, though I didn't realize that until I opened it.  The chicken was good, the mushroom gravy mixed up with the peas, and teh asparagus/corn tasted great.  Happy and full.

Dinner (600PM):  Saved the curry chicken for dinner becasue I knew I don't like the turkey dish all that much and I figured I would be more likely to eat it at lunch when there aren't any other options. For dinner, I had the Chicken curry with couscous(380) took out most of the carrot (-35) + 50cal of almonds + peas (30cal) +1/4cup edamame (60cal) + nutmeg/cinnamon/red pepper flake. 

Reeeealllly "snacky" today.  By that, I suppose I mean that I'm not really hungry, but I can't stop thinking about eating/food.  :(  Tried to not do too much damage.  The best solution would have been to turn off the TV and do some work.  That keeps me busy!

Bought a digital food scale at Target today.  Measures up to 6.6lb in tenth of an oz increments.  Also can tare out to add up the whole meal easier.  Far more accurate than the old analog scale!  http://bit.ly/djKBD5

Day 64

Plan: Omelet with VeggieSausage(260), PineappleTeriyakiMeatloaf(260) + Dinner out(400) + snacks/extras(680) = 1600

Breakfast (645AM): Omelet with veggie sausage, peaches and 45cal of cheese.  Okay, especially with the cheese.  i like the peaches and sausage.  The omelet does nothing for me - sorta squeaky. (260+45)

Snack (1030-1115AM):  Cottage Cheese with pineapple (100cal), 100cal of Pirates BOoty.

Lunch(1215PM): Pineapple Teriyaki Meatloaf.  Eh.  Put a packet of soy on the meat and that helped.  The bokchoy is still gross.  And the whole meal is super watery.  Maybe I should try mixing the water into the pineapple sauce next time.  I can't really drain it because all the quinoa falls out too.  Needs extra teriyaki sauce instead of soy.  (260cal)

Snack(220PM):  30cal of rice cake with 30 cal of peanut butter
Snack (530PM): Two mini choc chip cookies (70cal)

Dinner (630PM):  Panda Express - carefully considered...  Weighed precisely.  Ate 5.5 oz of string bean chicken breast (170cal), 3.5 oz of mixed veggies (25cal), 1/2 cup of rice 120cal. Finished the rest later (300cal)

Snack (1200PM): Honeycrisp Apple (80cal), 100 cal of sourdough bread

Lunch(115PM): Calif Wrap. (400cal) - turkey still dry on this one and the little bacon bits a weird.  The tortilla is a nice touch of carb.  Can't taste the avocado.  Better once the artichoke side is mixed in and would have added a chopped tomato if I had one...

Snack(330PM):100cal of bread with a laughing cow light 35cal, 60cal of M&Ms

Dinner(630PM): Didn't have the dinner with me and, frankly, I wasn't busy enough to find the pre-made pinapple meatloaf appealing...  not a fav.  Plus, I've been craving a baked potato.  Bought a baker yesterday that weighed in at 12oz (284cal).  Microwaved for 4 minutes and baked in toaster for 10.  Added 2 swiss laughing cow lights (70), 1/4 cup of chopped deli ham (50cal), 1 cup of broccoli (30cal) and 1/4 cup of peas(25cal).  Added some Mrs. Dash and crushed red pepper.  Really good!  It was a LOT of food, could have done with a smaller potato, for future reference.

Dinner(630PM):  Meatloaf with 1/3cup of corn, 1 cup of green beans and 1 cup of broccoli. (185+50+30+30) 

Dessert(800PM):  Apple Crisp - which has more calories than I thought.  I hunted down the recipe and did some math.  Appears like one serving is 345cal.  I have one serving left out of six...  I started eating it on Thursday.  Today is Saturday.  Damn.  Today = 500cal about.  So, I no longer have one serving left, I dumped it down the drain.
