So I worked on my nutrition 'education' today and did pretty well I think given that I hadnt gone shopping nor had anything prepared. Here's what I did today. Would love some feedback, Julie :-)
1. 630am omelet (1 whole egg/1 egg white)w/ 1 Jimmy Dean turkey sausage patty/chopped, & 1 slice of cheese, cooked in about 1 tsp butter. 1 slice multi grain toast with about 1 tsp butter (butter is approx, I was careful to use the smallest amount possible for both the eggs and toast)
2. 9:00am scrambled eggs w/ diced potatoes (pretty sure they were whole eggs as it was a catered breakfast). The potatoes were obviously fried tho.
3. 1:00pm - had a hard time getting #3 any earlier as I was running all over the place! At grocery store got a 4 oz piece of cold, grilled salmon, & salad bar w/ romaine, beets, cucumbers, carrots & some bean (lentil) salad. No dressing
4. Couldnt get to meal 4 - no food and no time. I was starving by the time I got to meal 5
5. 6:45pm Baked chicken & peas - I confess I ate dark meat since the store was out of whole rotisserie chicken by the time I got there.

Today would have been the start of my strength training, but I opted to hit the grocery store to stock up on the food items I needed. I'm ok with starting tomorrow since Tues & Wed are rest days for me - I feel some flexibility there which is nice.

I planned & packaged some meals for tomorrow, cooked some potatoes, and bagged up my remaining chicken from dinner. This sounds weird, but because I've been a low-carb eater for so long, thinking of what starches can go with a meal is a challenge. I have no problem with protein and veggies, but I seem to have a mental block on the starchy stuff. Is there a bigger list out there cause right now it seems like it's either oatmeal/grits, potatoes/yams, or lentils! I see bread listed but get the impression that's a 'last choice' type option as it's 'processed'. I could eat a sandwich everyday!
