You're so right Mistie and Hack....healthy food is more expensive and fast food is cheap...and wouldn't it be fantastic if it was the other way around! Shows you though....if they can make a profit at that price (and they do)...what possible quality of food and nutrition could there be in that garbage?
Mistie, your shopping list sounds great...and I agree with Kelt...you'll need to have snacks that you enjoy because the munchies will hit. Fruit is great. I also love greek yogurt, low-fat string cheese and nuts...especially almonds.
I still need to go grocery shopping so had limited choices this morning...blew my carb allowance all at breakfast with 2 slices of whole wheat toast with a slice of low-fat muenster cheese on each one, with coffee.
Went to the beach again...fantastic shelling and walked for an hour and a half. Let my blood sugar get a bit low, so it was fresh pineapple (delicious and so sweet) and an iced soy vanilla chai latte when I got home.
Lunch....salad of lettuce, half a cucumber, half a tomato, whole sweet red pepper (I love them!), bean sprouts, a blob of tuna salad, a few green olives and a splash of my homemade dressing. It was so tasty and satisfying...loved it.
Not sure about dinner tonight, but it will probably involve the last of the fantastic pork roast I made the other day. I'm trying to get away from frying...so I'm broiling and roasting meat far more often. I got a big pork roast (there are 4 of us...2 are teenage boys that go through the meat)....made a paste of extra virgin olive oil, italian seasoning, kosher salt and fresh ground pepper and rubbed it all over. Put the roast on a rack and into a 450 degree oven for 10 minutes, then lower the oven to 275 and slow roast until the internal temp was right. It came out moist, tender and delicious.
Hack, your turkey chili recipe sounds fantastic....I'm going to try it soon. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
