No picture today, and no official calorie count.
My company had a lunch meeting for my department, and almost everyone voted for Chinese food (there were about 4 of us who didn't want or couldn't eat it). I asked for a vegetarian option to at least pretend I was eating something healthier, but when you get broccoli, mushrooms, baby corn and leeks covered in a delicious creamy curry sauce ... *drool*
ahem.
Breakfast, I had a Subway egg-white omelette sandwich with ham. Toppings were cucumber, green pepper, tomato and honey mustard.
Lunch, was the above mentioned Chinese food (oh, and they ordered steamed rice, just for me!) We also all got ROHO water bottles at the meeting (same idea as the SIGG bottles, but made by Thermos)
Dinner was Hamburger Helper "Stroganoff" with green beans added, salad and home-made garlic spinach tortilla chips.
The Hamburger Helper was served in the recommended portion on the back of the box (1 cup), which totals out to about 300 calories)
The salad was the same kind I've been making (minus the tomatoes and cucumber for the mister, since he doesn't like them - I added tomato to mine) - so around 71 calories, including 1tbsp of calorie-wise Italian dressing.
The chips were made with 1/4 of a tortilla (each, so 1/2 total), cut into wedges, brushed with a small amount of olive oil, sprinkled with garlic plus seasoning and baked until crisp. The Mister really liked them, so I think I will make them with other dinners. Totaled to 45 calories.
416 calories total for dinner (the Mister's was a little less, because he isn't a slave to salad dressings ...)
I'm sure I didn't go too far over the 1700 calories I'm aiming for. And I figure I had a super-low day yesterday, so it'll all balance out.
Does it even work like that?
bah.
