Today I ate 2 eggs on toast with cheese, a banana, a small greek yogurt with blueberries, 8oz OJ.
ReplyDeletea small portion of eggplant parmigiana (tasting really)
2oz of sliced roast beef with cheese on wheat bread with tomato and horseradish sauce.
a handful of wasabi peas
Two fried chicken cutlets with hot cherry peppers. Half cup of peas. a few ounces of fried potatoes.
3 cookies (I allow myself cookies on Friday with coffee) 160 calories.
100 cal of cheese, a slice of soppressata, and a small mixed handful of dried cranberries and almonds.
