So far today…
Here’s a list of what I ate so far and it’s nutritional value. Didn’t make it through the grocery store at lunch without some impulse buys, but I tried to select things like 100 calorie packs of almonds and Baked Lays instead of candy and cheeze doodles.
I’m listing the calories and nutritional information for 2 reasons:
a. some people may find that helpful if they are calorie restricting
and
b. I like to see how much sodium and fat I am consuming in general, how much protein I get, etc.
Breakfast
1 medium (approx. 6 inches) banana - 90 cals, 0g fat, 1mg sodium, 23g carbs, 3g fiber, 1g protein
Kashi Heart to Heart Golden Maple Brown Oatmeal (instant) - 160cals, 2g fat, 100mg sodium, 33g carbs, 5g fiber, 4g protein
Lunch
*Homemade lentil soup, approx. 1 1/4 cups or 275 mls. 190cals, .5g fat, 34g carbohydrates, 45mg sodium, 16g fiber, 13g protein.
6 medium strawberries - approx. 24 cals, 0g fat, 0mg sodium, 6g carbs, 0g fiber, 0g protein
*Obviously, since this is homemade, I don’t have a ton of information on it. However, my fiance’s mother made it for me, and I ask her to make it simple, as I actually kind of just like bland food. I believe it contains only lentils, carrots, celery, onions, seasoning, broth and a little olive oil. It’s a very simple and totally vegetarian recipe. Anyway, I googled some general info on lentil soup and found this, so that’s what I am going by.
