On to me now...
Atkins Advantage Bar 430am - 140 cal - chocolate chip flavor is my fav and available at Publix.
Mid-morning snack - cappuccino 60 cal, 1/2 english muffin 50 cal, 1/4 cup blueberries 20 cal, 1/8 cup of almonds 85 cal. WOW all that for only 215 calories...I like it! AND, I was full.
Lunch - Chicken veggie soup 105 cal and walnut cranberry salad (premade-also from Publix) 210 cal.
Mid-afternoon snack - 1/2 of a Balance Bar 100 cal and more blueberries 20 cal
Dinner - Tazikis greek salad with chicken...extra feta, extra tomato, dressing on the side. I asked them about the calorie content and once again, another restaurant that doesn't know. That baffles me and I am really beginning to appreciate Panera for sure! They post the calories right on their menu. I ate about 2/3 of the salad and am saving the rest for lunch tomorrow.
Just googled the salad and guess what??? Zoe's has their calorie count online. A greek salad at Zoe's with grilled chicken is 399 calories. I think the ingredients are very similar so I am going with that number plus adding 50 cal for dressing (I had it on the side). I am gonna go with 300 cal on the salad...maybe 350-400 because of the extra feta!
Drank one more coffee...almost forgot...from Starbucks 130 cal plus lots and lots of water and part of a diet coke.
On a side note...everyone did great with Friend or Foe today...a lot of running but so important for a healthy heart!!!
After a conversation with Leigh at the 9:15 class today, curiosity drew me to The Pantry to try juicing. I don't remember the name of the juice but it involved lemon, kale, hearts of romaine, apple and celery. Imagine crunching on a piece of celery you have just dunked in lemon juice, without the crunch of course. It was okay. I'm not sure where to place a juice in my diet. I don't think it's a substitute for a meal because an hour later at noon I was starving. I tried something called, "the spice of your life", really liked that one, a bit more substantial than the other. Anyway, It's always a good thing to expand your horizons. Thanks Leigh! Sherry
