I'm really liking the discipline that taking pictures of my meals is giving me. More than that, I've actually journaled two days in a row on The Daily Plate which I think is a record for me. There is no question in my mind that I would be eating more, and not as balanced, if I wasn't doing this. Most interestingly I almost feel compelled to compose a nice plate full of food but in reality it would normally be grab a bite of this and a bunch of that, adding up to who knows how many calories. So this gives me some structure which is helping.
Of course the last two days where also a weekend, and I was home both days. Let's see if I can keep it going during a work week.
Let's take a look at my meals for today – 1,947 calories worth:
Breakfast is the same picture you would have seen yesterday if I hadn't had that technical problem – oatmeal, a banana, a couple of clementines and a yogurt. Mid morning snack was fresh pineapple which I chopped up just for the occasion (of course there is much more left, not only in the fridge now but still on the countertop. Pineapples were on sale at Sam's Club for $2.98 each so I bought a couple.
Lunch was a bowl of Campbell's Select Harvest Savory Sausage and Vegetables soup, some tortilla chips, a few radishes, some celery and an apple. Had a protein bar and a kohlrabi for later afternoon snack.
Dinner was a 2 egg omelet with shallots and provolone cheese, a few slices of fried polenta with cayenne pepper, celery and more of that fresh pineapple. I also had a couple of beers while I watched the Super Bowl.
Had 2 pieces of gum throughout the day, drank 5-6 glasses of water.
So how do you think I did?
