Stickin to the Basics - Wednesday

OK So I am doing a hard core back to basics push this week! I need to break the carb cycle. Today will be hard I am sure.

I brought a ton of "safe" foods with me here is when I think that I will eat them

B: crustless quiche with mushrooms, onions, cheddar - fage
S: roast beef and cheese roll ups
L: turkey and cheese roll ups - salad with olive oil balsamic vinigarette
S: jello
D: halibut and zucchini
S: chocolate pudding

I also brought with me a banana, peaches, cheddar cheese and soy nuts - just in case! Better to have good snacks then let the dreaded "snack box" full of carbs lure me in!

What's on your plate today?

OK - I'll be honest - I haven't logged my food in a long time - I did today......

Here are my totals
1500 calories
84 fat
52 carbs
138 protein!

OMG my protein goal is 76!! Tomorrow I will take care to keep that lower... Oh and seems that provolone cheese is horrible! 100 calories A SLICE! 7.5 g fat, 7.4 g protein - tomorrow I shall wrap my lunchmeat in lettuce!

I am going to get back to basics even if it kills me!!!

I was just thinking of you!! Would you mind posting the recipe for that pesto shrimp salad you used to make? I am craving shrimp!!!

I've been lurking....LOL.  Here it is (rough as I don't use a recipe).

Shrimp (depends on how many servings you want.  I usually do about 6 ounces of shrimp for 3 servings.
1/4 chopped kalamata olives
1 med (or two small or 1/2 a large) chopped tomato
1/4 chopped english cucumber (no seeds)
2T of pesto

You can add more or less of everything depending on your preferences.  Throw it all in a bowl and mix.  I usually toast one of those delightful Arnold's Sandwich Things until it's very crispy and then throw this on top.  Once in a while I'll then throw a slice of asiago or some such cheese on top and broil for 30 seconds.

Enjoy!

THanks! That sounds to die for!! I am definately going to make it - oh and I Don't measure either! lol Some feta on top would be yummy too!!
