Eating out on the new diet
The deli at Whole Foods.
I ate out today, but it wasn’t Panda Express.
I went into the Whole Foods between Lloyd Athletic Club and my office to improvise my lunch.
I spent several minutes looking through the glass case of the deli and fending off repeated “Can I help you” inquiries from the employees. Finally, I settled on baked salmon and a concoction called “Broccoli Crunch,” which consists of bacon, onion, cashews, eggs, raisins and, of course, broccoli.
I have to admit, this can be kind of fun. I have to figure out what I can eat on the 40-40-20 diet (40 percent carbs, 40 percent protein, 20 percent fat), and it forces me to try things I wouldn’t normally seek.
I could get used to this.
Food Journal:
Breakfast: Greek yogurt, small apple, small handful of almonds
Snack: Banana, string cheese and that same crappy protein drink
Lunch: Baked salmon and “Brocoli Crunch” from Whole Foods.
Snack: Greek yogurt
Dinner: Pork loins, salad and a bell pepper slices
I love your candidness. I can’t wait for your next entry. It sounds like you are doing great and you are becoming a real cook. It didn’t happen to me until this year, (the cooking thing) so you are ahead of the game. Keep it up!
Best wishes,
Melissa
