breakfast-protein drink---yummy (not) snack-forgot again--I ad a job interview so I did not eat one lunch-my mom took me to Ruby Tuesday's. I got the broccoli cheese soup---only think that appealed to me. only ate 3 teaspoons full--too much salt and tasted like onions (my mom said I was crazy because it didn't). I eneded up eating about an oz. of ham and 3 grapes from my mom's salad snack--decaf skim latte with protein dinner-1.5 oz of pork with 1/3 cup of greens I might have a snack tonight of s/f butterscotch pudding

Breakfast: 1/4 c LF cottage cheese with 2 grape tomatoes Mid morn: AchievOne 20 gm protein drink Lunch: 4 oz of chili Mid afternoon: 1/2 serving of my whey protein shake 11.5 grams. Dinner: met some friends after work, then went to dinner. I had from an appetizer plate, about 2 oz of eggplant something or other, 1/2 of a stuffed hot pepper, the sausage stuffing of a mushroom, a bite of DH's steak and some bites of his sweet potato. Eve: 30 gram protein shake. My goal for today was to measure my food. With the exception of dinner because we ended up going out I did measure breakfast and lunch and found out a few interesting things. Last night I got out my 4 oz serving size container, plan was to measure food, I have been worried I was eating too much. I don't know why this big stall.. So this morning I get out the cottage cheese and measure out 4 oz into the cup. Put it into a bowl and look at it and am like OMG.. I can't eat all that. 4oz = 1/2 c. I have been eyeballing what I've been having cottage cheese wise and was guessing at 1/4 c. I was right. That 4 oz is way too much. So I put half of it back. Lunchtime. I took my 4 oz measure cup with me to work. We go to the local deli area in the grocery store, I get their chili. It comes in a 1.5 c size. .I scoop out just my 4 oz size and have that for lunch. I look at the amount left in the 1.5 cup size container and say to DH.. wow.. I was worried I was eating too much, I've never eaten that much out of that 1.5 container. So I've been eating less than the 4oz. I know at dinner I havent been making best choices perhaps with chinese at least once a week, and I use regular dressing on my salads. And I believe more than 4oz at dinner. But it seems my other meals are only 1/2 of what I'm told I can have. So maybe Ive not been doing bad. Maybe Im not eating enough? But I really couldnt eat any more. So I guess I need to quit worrying about it. But just found it interesting that when I measured breakfast and lunch today that i was less than 4oz. Very interesting. I'm going to keep doing this so that I do know what Im having. I think I can too easy be over what we should have and I think measuring is important to keep track. Hope everyone had a great day!!
