food diary for saturday

breakfast

cereal

oj

coffee

iced tea

lunch

chicken strips (4 piece) w/ polynesian sauce at Chik-fil-a

waffle cut fries

iced tea

i checked the nutrition info on this on-line. looks like the three piece would be a better idea. char-grilled chicken sandwich is an even better choice. better have slaw instead of fries next time.

by the way, large shake is 700 calories. 700!

dinner

spaghetti w/ tomato sauce

salad

whole grain bread and butter

iced tea

dinner, friday

Elizabeth wasn't feeling well so I made something easy for me.

chili (canned) w/ rice (and cheese and onions and sour cream)

corn bread

iced tea

I had way too much rice mixed with the chili. I had about twice as much rice as chili. I think it would have been much better if I'd had as much rice as I had chili.

lunch, friday

the check i've been waiting for finally arrived. i ran out to deposit and then had lunch at Glory Days Grill.

pittsburgher sandwich*

fries

iced tea

* corned beef, pastrami, swiss, french fries (on the sandwich) and slaw on a roll

sandwich was quite good. i think the waiter was probably a sixth grader. they look younger to me all of the time.

i've been avoiding gdg since they started opening in this area. i don't know why. perhaps their early ads were offensive or ... anyway, i had a good sandwich, the cost was on a par with ruby's or chili's, the service was decent and i watched mike & mike while i ate. what's to complain?

it does seem apparent to me that essentially any meal eaten in a restaurant includes about two times as much food as you would have at home. moral: eat at home most of the time.

breakfast, friday

cereal with whole milk

banana

coffee

iced tea

i'm trying to have either cereal or eggs for breakfast. it's supposed to be better to start with protein and whole grains. we'll see.

dinner, thursday

elizabeth went to visit the cats at petsmart yesterday so we had a fend for yourself day. (is it pet smart or pets mart?)

V8 vegetable blend soup (new flavor, so so)

bagel with cream cheese

banana

iced tea

chocolate pudding

i do like the garden broccoli variety and tomato herb variety of the v8 soups

lunch

chicken & swiss on whole wheat

potato salad (not very good)

banana

iced tea

pop tart (worst pop tart i ever heard. some organic brand. yech)

lunch, thursday, sep. 3, 2009

went to recycling on the way to get gas for the mower

snack at 11:00 (i guess pippin would call it elevenses)

iced tea (arizona, sweetened) (drank half, way too sweet!)

reese's fast break bar (one of my favorite candy bars)
