The Little Things
February 8, 2012

I’ve never been a person who regularly photographs their food, logs food intake, or counts calories. However, the last few wednesdays as I’ve taken pictures for a “What I Ate Wednesday” post, I’ve been interested to see my food choices. I think I’m realizing that fresh veggies are one of the most difficult things for me to fit into my meals. Hmmmm… So here’s what I ate today:

Breakfast: 1 Banana, 10 oz orange juice, 16 oz coffee w/almond milk (unpictured)

Lunch: Bagel w/lots of almond butter (unpictured), Greek Yogurt, 2 clementines

Afternoon snacks: 1 Pumpkin Spice Protein Bar, 3 handfuls of nuts

Dinner: Pasta w/red onion, red pepper, spinach, garbanzo beans, & feta cheese

Yummmmm!

Evening Snack: Cucumber dipped in cottage cheese & some chocolate before bed!

Add into that mix almost 10 ounces of almond milk and about 55 ounces of tea for the day. I’ve almost lost my voice and being in a career where I talk with people all day is a bit difficult at the moment. Hot tea helped me keep my voice throughout the day!

Now it’s your turn to share: What’s your favorite veggie? When you have a sore throat or your voice gets hoarse, what’s your “go to” remedy?

    I take it you’re a vegetarian? It just doesn’t seem like you’re getting enough protein! :-/

    As for my favorite veggie though… oh man, butternut squash &/or spaghetti squash… green beans &/or spinach! GAH! It’s so tough! lol…

    Sore throats are tough. I will usually just drink lots of tea and hope for the best. LOL.

      Nope! Not a vegetarian at all! Today’s lunch was unusual in that it didn’t include a meat. Very often I have some sort of meat sandwich then, or if not for lunch, then at dinner. In terms of protein, today’s still hit the 100% mark according to the nutrition facts, but this is a pretty low protein day for me. Work out days I eat more protein then this.

      I’m trying to like squash more but I really struggle with it sometimes. I’ve eaten it quite a bit more this year then last year though…

    My favorite veggie are probably mushrooms! I love making a mushroom lasagna out of some of the different varieties of mushrooms like shittaki and cremini.

    Hope you feel better soon!
