Today I am actually formulating a clean eating plan for the week. Last Sunday as I was falling asleep I decided to do this, so I had to make do with what was in the house and what I could pick up on the run. I don't know how I came up with 100 days, but it is a totally achievable task. I have quickly figured out that clean eating perfection is going to be a challenge, so every week I am going to aim for improving one aspect of clean eating. This week I am working on water intake.
Ok today's food...
Breakfast
English muffin
calories: 120
fat: 1 gram
protein: 4 grams
carbs: 25 grams
Veggie sausage patty (again this is another item that is in the house, but really isn't clean eating. It has an ingredient list about a mile long. A lot of the ingredients are created materials and not "food" items. So we will eat them and look for something else for the next 94 days)
calories: 80
fat: 3 grams
protein: 10 grams
carbs: 3 grams
2% cheddar (1/2 oz)
calories: 45
fat: 3 grams
protein: 3.5 grams
0 carbs
medium skim latte (splenda again! went through the drive through at Caribou... Splenda reduction is going to have to be a goal....)
Calories: 108
fat: .5 grams
protein: 10 grams
carbs: 15 grams
snack
mixed greens, brocolli, cucumber, cherry tomato and
chicken breast
142 calories
organic caesar dressing
120 calories
lunch
1/2 whole wheat pita
80 calories
hummus
70 calories
mixed greens cucumber
flat earth veggie chips
130 calories
1 oz feta
80 calories
skim latte from Starbucks (small size)
65 calories
at this point I have had 1040 calories. I went to volunteer all afternoon at anorganization that helps girls get prom dresses if they are not able to pay for them on their own. After this my friend Mae and I were super hungry so we decided to stop for dinner. We went to Noodles and Company. I got the "pasta fresca". I added vegetables, chicken breast and substituted whole wheat pasta. I also got the smaller portion size. I will say I have NO clue what the counts are for this.... I think this is a great part of the 100 day challenge though. One can't eat perfectly "clean" all the time and things like going out with friends come up. I will say I made the best choice possible for what was available and I am happy with that.
Well I'll be! I went to the Noodles website and they have nutritional information!!! I LOVE it when companies do this! The small pasta was 420 calories and 1/2 chicken breast (I shared the chicken with Mae- rather she shared hers with me) was 65 calories.
Today's total calories: 1525
No exercise today. I am zonked.
