Day 3 ~ Tuesday, January 4th

Breakfast 1 (6AM):
coffee w/ agave nectar and almond milk

Wasn't hungry before the gym - probably thanks to the quinoa last night.

Breakfast 2 (8AM):
banana
clementine

Sometimes just a banana cuts it. Wonder how long it will be before I go for the nuts...

Snack 1 (9AM):
Nuts (2 oz)

Fire drill at work! My model blew up! Stress!! ARGH! More than half the can gone now! 5 or 6 servings of nuts in 3 days (and the day isn’t even over yet!) I guess nuts are better than cookies, but I had to look it up – here’s 3 oreos versus 1 oz (18) nuts:

Oreo / Nuts / Analysis
Calories 160 / 170 / Same
Fat 7g / 15g / Whoa! I’ll take those oreos, thanks
Sodium 190mg / 50mg / Surprising – the nuts are lightly salted
Carbs 25g / 7g / OK, nuts win here
Fiber 1g / 2g / And here
Sugars 14g / 1g / DEFINITELY here
Protein 2g / 5g / Nuts again

Winner: Nuts – I guess. They are more healthy and will probably keep you full longer, but I find oreos pretty darn satisfying.

Lunch (1PM):
chicken tortilla soup (no tortilla)
blueberry applesauce – no sugar added

MMM! Definitely made me forget about the guy in the elevator with Chinese food

Snack 2 (315PM)
2 clementines

There's an oatmeal packet in my desk drawer calling my name! Must not answer!

Snack 3 (530PM)
NUT ABUSE

No more nuts for the rest of the week. This is getting out of hand. Working a bit later, so dinner wont be til almost 8PM. I will bring an egg - maybe make a little egg salad - and eat extra protein at lunch. I'm going out w/ work people for lunch so a nice chicken salad should fill me up. And I'll have more fruit. My 2 cups of grapes saved me yesterday. Screw my co-worker who says they're high on the glycemic index! No one ever gained weight from eating too many grapes!

Dinner (8PM):
chipotle glazed chicken w/ sweet potatoes
elderflower sparkling water

Super yummy, but I didn't eat much because I was full from those darn nuts!
