what i ate wednesday: issue 51

You know those days where you just can't stop eating? Today was one of those days. It happens...

Figure 1. Breakfast (so early it was in the dark): a bowl (x2) of Quaker Oatmeal Squares, Kashi 7 Whole Grain Puffs, a sliced banana, and cow's milk.

(un-pictured mid-morning snack: honey Greek yogurt and fruit, stolen from a work meeting.)

Figure 2. Lunch: a romaine lettuce salad with grape tomatoes, raw zucchini, carrots, green onions, cottage cheese, balsamic vinegar, sunflower seeds, and a drizzle of agave nectar. Carrot sticks with peanut butter on the side.

Figure 3. Unintentional post-lunch snack: homemade frosted spiced pear cake. I couldn't help myself.

Figure 4. Afternoon snack: Kashi Simply Maize cereal and homemade roasted almonds.

(un-pictured afternoon snack 2: a bag of pretzels from the work vending machine.)

Figure 5. Dinner (courtesy of the boyfriend): bbq chicken tenders, a baked sweet potato with cinnamon, and roasted green beans.

 Figure 6. Dessert: one of Amanda's delicious chocolate chip oatmeal muffins, warmed and melty and topped with a spoonful of ricotta cheese and a drizzle of agave nectar.

And that concludes another What I Ate Wednesday (featuring what I ate Tuesday, September 25).

  9. I'm definitely familiar with those days where your appetite just feels like it's off the charts... I've actually been experiencing them myself for the past couple of days. All of your eats look seriously good, though. I need a man who'll make BBQ chicken for me.

    1. yeah, i guess that is the trick - to keep your snacking healthy. although i'm pretty sure cake isn't healthy!
