### 08/09 What Did Ya Eat Today?

Hi Guys!!! Having a good day? Support group last night was awesome, we had a cool presentation on the difference in portion sizes, but it was evil cause she bought in McDonalds etc to show their differences between now (Super size time) and 20-30 years ago, and the direct correlation to childhood obesity--- it was really cool. Dinner was at Souper salad, I ended up just making a salad with spinach and various things on it-- it was soo YUMMY, but my first experience with a buffet style meal, and my plate I dished up was way too much even trying to be aware and cut back... the manager there is awesome and gives a WLS discount. Breakfast: 1 egg scrambled w/ diced chicken, onion, red pepper & swiss cheese Snack: 5-6 apple slices and 1oz pepper jack cheese Lunch: BBQ Chicken (Approx 3oz shredded chicken w/ 2 TBS low carb BBQ sauce, sauteed onion & red bell pepper) Snack: 1/2 banana & 1oz Genisoy brand potato soy chips. Dinner: 4oz low fat cottage cheese with fresh diced pineapple. Water: Not so good so far, but I will get to my 64oz by the end of the day! Im trying out that new calorie counting website posted yesterday, it's nicer than fitday and I decided to pay for an upgraded membership for a month to see if it's worth it... todays totals are: 829 Calories, 65g protein, 25g fat, 93g carbs --- Im right on track today according to my nutritionists plan.

B: 1 c. mootopia skim milk (14 g protein per cup) & 1 cup lower sugar frosted flakes S: 1/2 protein shake L: Pizza Hot pocket with the ends peeled off S: 1/2 protein shake D: Smart ones fettucini Algredo w/ broccli probably only eat 1/2 to 3/4 of it Water has been good today for the first time in a week. I have had 50oz so far with plans for the other 14 oz before the night is through.

Breakfast: 1 wedge of LF LC cheese on 1 saltine cracker Mid morning: protein shake 30 gm w/ half bag of the 100 cal sun chips. Lunch: Salad with cesear dressing about 3/4 cup. Dinner: Chinese, mostly meats about 4 oz, some wonton broth and 1 cheesy poof thingy . lol Eve: will have a protein shake.

For breakfast I had 1 oz. reduced fat-cheddar cheese, 3 reduced fat Townhouse crackers and 4 strawberries. For lunch I had 1 oz. reduced fat pepper jack cheese and a Carb Control strawberry and cream smoothie. Dinner was 3 oz. of curried chicken salad. It was delicious! I'm on my 4th 20 oz. bottle of water today. I need another protein kick later this evening so I plan to have 1/2 c. fat free cottage cheese with 1 packet of Splenda and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice. Laura 381/285/375
