Food Journal 10/26/10

Laura suggested I post what I ate for a day. I love the idea. I think I'll do this once a week. I try to write down what I eat everyday. At least Monday through Friday. I keep all my pages in a binder, and I love it because when I get in a rut and all of a sudden can't think of any meal options, I scan through my journal, and remember how endless my options are.

Food Journal for Wed, October 26th

Breakfast: Oatmeal cereal (i'll post our recipe later, my hubby created it) with Almond milk

Snack: plum, 2 egg whites (i do not like yolks)

Lunch: Big salad with cucumbers, onions, turkey breast, 2 Tbs of balsamic dressing.

Snack: 1 Tb Organic PB with blackberries (my favorite snack)

Dinner: Whole wheat quesadilla (another hubby recipe). We make 2 full ones, and me, husband, and 2 kids each have a half. Consists of black beans, turkey, green chilies, about 1 oz of cheese (per serving). Also had broccoli.

That was 4 proteins, 3 servings of vegetables, 2 fruits, 2 whole grains, and 2 fats (try to only have 1 fat)

Also, I created a food journal template that looks like this:

If you would like me to email you the document, let me know. Because it is proven you will be more successful eating better and staying on track if you write down what you eat. It helps me remember what else I need to fit in!
