I can still have 2 snack and I haven't had enough protein so tonight I will have a hard boiled egg and a peach smoothie
Lazy Split Pea Soup 4 servings
almost as easy as opening a can of soup
1 cup dried split peas (split peas are packed with protein)
about 3 c water
1 tbsp celery seed
1 tbsp dried minced onion
1 tsp dried parsley flakes
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 4 oz jar strained baby food carrots
Put everything in a pot and simmer for about an hour if it looks too thick add extra water.
Big Fruity Salad
1 1/2 c lettuce (romain is good but use anything)
1/4 green pepper chopped
1 tbsp craisins
1/4 c canned manderine oranges
1 oz cheese (your choice) cubed
Mix all in a bowl top with 2 tbsp creamy raspberry dressing
Creamy Raspberry Dressing
1 c plain yogurt
1 tbsp raspberry jam (it is also good with blackberry jam)
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
pinch salt and pepper.
Mix all together.
YUMM-OOOOO!!! I love it that you sent this in. Here is my intake for the day, so far:
Breakfast:
10 cherries
1 cup Special K with fruit and yogurt
1/2 cup skim milk
1/2 litre water
Lunch:
turkey and bacon unwich (sub sandwich w/ no bread from a local sub shop)
4 oz turkey
2 slices bacon
2 cups lettuce
1 tomato
(I chop the entire thing up and top with fat-free lo-cal raspberry vinegarette)
1 litre water
1 can Pepsi One
Snack:
1/2 small cantaloupe
1/2 litre water
Dinner:
Egg salad (4 eggs, 1 tbsp light mayo)
2 slices lo-cal whole grain bread
1 litre water
Snack (in a couple hours):
1 pear
1 can Pepsi One
That will be 9 servings of protein (an ounce of meat is counts as 1 protein and 1 egg is 1 protein and 2 slices of bacon is 1 protein) and there is 7 grams per protein serving. So, I ate 63 grams of protein which is in my target of 60-70 grams a day.
I think journaling our dietary intake is excellent.
