Harriet Vane Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Thursday Breakfast--apple before teaching, then eggs and roughly a third of a sweet potato after Lunch--leftovers: pork tenderloin, asparagus, wild rice with onion and mushroom Dinner--I had to run an errand late and was sorely tempted to go through a drive-thru on my way home. Held firm. Had a big salad and dh popped some popcorn while we watch a show. Not sure what I think about the popcorn. Often I feel it's a whole-grain, unprocessed snack, so it's on my list of acceptable foods. Yet it's a lot of starchy carbs, too. Yet my dinner on the whole was so light but genuinely satisfying. Round and round we go... Snack--Chips, yet again. If they are in the house, I will eat them. I found when I tried to substitute salty stirfry stuff that I didn't like the fuss and bother of cooking a snack. I think my next strategy will be to stock up on some whole-grain gf crackers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunch--Mediterranean mashup: 1 chicken thigh, some wild rice, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, parsley, lemon-tahini sauce. Snack--leftover tuna salad. Healthy but I think it was too heavy, too much.

Toocrazy!! Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Breakfast- skipped lunch- scrambled eggs with potatoes, arugula with chicken, pumpkin seeds and feta, cashews dinner- 1/2 bagel with peanut butter and cacao nibs after pickleball - wine, cheese and Doritos I am so bored with the food I’ve been eating and what I’m supposed to eat, that I’ve just not been eating a lot. Been playing hours of pickleball and I’m hungry. Need to figure some new food choices/ ideas. Only so many salads I want to eat. I know you’re supposed to eat for health, but I’ve always loved eating and enjoyed food. I’m afraid if I don’t figure this out soon I’ll revert back to my easy/bad choices I was doing before. It seems like a lot of choices, but none of them are appealing right now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like a lot of choices, but none of them are appealing right now. I struggle with this as well. I need flavor. One answer for me has been learning how to cook authentic Indian food and pretty good Mexican food. Sometimes Tex-Mex. The intense herbs are satisfying. I also bought a vegan cookbook and I genuinely like everything I've tried to cook from it. The downside is that cooking takes time. The new things I'm trying to learn are not yet intuitive, so it just takes time. So yeah, there are more days than I'd like to admit that I eat something less-than because I want to grab and go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
