Breakfast
Here is my Green monster smoothie (coconut milk, frozen banana, almond butter, ground flaxseed, and kale) and my morning coffee (half-caf) with coconut milk in it.
Morning snack
A nectarine I took to a meeting. I love summer fruits!!!
Lunch
The start of my water drinking for the day. I aim to drink 3 of these bottles everyday. For lunch, I had leftovers - bbq tempeh with green peppers and onions and quinoa.
Afternoon snack
(Not pictured, ate it before I got a pic)
Heaping 1/4 cup mixed nuts (roasted salted almonds and walnuts) with a couple of tablespoons of dried cranberries (raspberry flavored)
Dinner on Wednesdays tends to be more leftover stuff in the fridge because I don't have much time to cook when I get home with 2 small children and a hubby that works until 8:30pm most nights. So I had bought a zucchini, sun-dried tomato and feta quiche at the farmer's market on Tuesday (it was 1/2 off, so it was a steal of deal) that they make fresh there and use cage free eggs and organic dairy. I had some of that along with some broccoli that I dipped in hummus. And then we had leftover hashbrown casserole from a brunch so I had a few bites of that while I was getting hubby's dinner.
I didn't get my run in that day so my rule is no run, no dessert (that rarely works for me but that day it did). :) My totals for the day:
Calories: 1,712
Percent breakdown: 44% fat, 42% carbs, 14% protein
I am a little surprised that my fat was as high as it was. I have been trying to eat more protein, but I have found it difficult, especially when I limit dairy and eat a veg diet. I aim for 15% but I don't track my calories much anymore so I don't know how far off I am on a typical day.
Any advice on other protein sources? I don't tempeh or tofu more than once a week usually, so I need some other choices.
I was wondering if you'd gone back to work. Being a speclized career, I assume it would be hard to take a few years off then get into it again.
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine how hard itis with two, as I find it hard to get things done with only one kid.
