Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? -- Tuesday
This might be my last whatcha eating post for a while since college starts tomorrow. Eek! I suspect that my OH involvement will be one of the casualties. (Which I'm sure will make some of you cheer!) :D
For my last day of freedom, I'm planning on having lunch out with P, going to the podiatrist, and getting tomorrow's coq au vin prepped. Fun and excitement.

Very hectic day for me today (14 hours at internship) so I'm eating very small meals more often since I have so many clients.
1. protein shake.
2. 1/2 a power crunch bar to quell horrid sweet tooth from the past week (froze the other half for next week)
3. light greek yogurt (1/2c)
4. 1/2c cottage cheese with a dash of cinnamon
5. white bean chicken chili (mostly chicken and few beans) (1/2c)
If I need it: #6 is another protein shake and a skim string cheese.
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!
