After seeing Andrew’s recent post This is what I eat I realized how helpful it would be to my own habits if I forced myself to record everything I ate during the day. I’ve tried journaling my meals before and failed miserably but I’m hoping that taking pictures will help the process. My camera phone isn’t the best, particularly in low light, but it is serviceable.
You can also join in the action by rating how you think I did, using whatever criteria you wish, by assigning my meals between 1 and 10 stars. Feel free to add some commentary in the comments too if you wish.

As I tweeted this morning, I got off to a bad start by not capturing my breakfast correctly. I took the picture and mailed it to myself but then I deleted it from my camera and then I realized I never got the email. So that wasn’t good. I had a nice breakfast too - single portion of hot oatmeal with raisins and a splash of skim milk, a banana, two clementines and a yogurt.
Don’t look too close at the grapes I had for a mid-morning snack - they were the dregs of the bowl and were almost ready to start making wine. But I rescued them.
Lunch was a bowl of Progresso tomato soup (220 cals), 11 tortilla chips (150 cal - you don’t even want to know how many I normally would eat), a few radishes, a carrot and some yogurt.
Two afternoon snacks, one was a protein bar and the other a kohlrabi, one of my all-time favorite vegetables.
For dinner I had a 2 egg omelet with shallots and a slice of provolone, a dry slice of English Muffin bread and a bunch of red grapes (the ones I had earlier were purple grapes).
Had about 5 pieces of gum throughout the day, drank 5-6 glasses of water.
So how do you think I did?
