BekkaL85's Journal, 22 July 2011

I just ate lunch...all I can say is yummy! I wanted a deli sandwich, but those aren't really that low in calories. If I eat at St. Louis Bread co (Panerna for those of you outside of MO) I blow my food count for the whole day. So I made lunch. Sauteed onions and red peppers with some garlic. Used a half tablespoon of real mayo (my splurge for the day), a 4th cup cheddar cheese, and thinly sliced chicken breast on a flour tortilla that I heated up in the skillet I cooked the onion and pepper in to give it the crunch I wanted. The cheese and the tortilla is what really hiked up my count, but it was delicious..totally worth it. Dinner will be on the skimpy side...but it's worth it!

Tomorrow will be a bit difficult. Michael and I are going to his favorite resturant in the world to celebrate his new job. It's a Tai food resturant called The King and I. I don't really care for Asian cusine and the only thing that I'll really eat is the cashew chicken. I'm not sure at all what the calorie intake is because it's a mom and pop type place that doesn't have nutrional info on their stuff. It's not required here (yet) so they don't have to have it. So I'm not quite sure how to log it all. I know what's in it...just not the spicies and the sauce and the amount of everything. I guess I'll just find a cashew chicken here and log the one that I think is the most accurate.

Good for you on the lunch! I think you have a great plan for tomorrow. I am not familiar with Tai food, so I can't help you, but one thing I have noticed, if it is on my plate, I'm going to eat it. :/ Typically portion sizes at night are huge, so maybe get them to box half of it to go before they serve it? Today when I was eating my spaghetti, even after measuring everything, I felt like I was eating too much, but I could not convince myself not to eat it. (sigh) It can be quite the struggle, eh?!?

Beyond a struggle! lol. But I like the idea of boxing half of it...I might try it.

Bekka, I used to ask funny about asking for a box when my food came out but I do that now. I ask for the box and cut it in half and box it when I have big portions. That was I get less calories and lunch the next day. Enjoy your food.
