Breakfast: Half a cup of fresh squeezed orange juice, 1 slice of toast with 1 teaspoon of peanut butter spread on it. This was an ok breakfast to be honest, I sprinkled salt on my peanut butter toast and it was quite tasty.
Lunch: 1/2 cup of plain tuna, salt and pepper added, on a slice of toast. As far as lunches go, this sucks. So by 5:00, I was starving.
Dinner: 2 slices of turkey, 1 cup of french style green beans, 1 cup of carrots, 1 small apple.
Now, I love to cook. When I eat, I need it to consist of at least a little bit of my touch, a little bit of creativity. I was craving cooking more than I was craving eating all day. So by dinner time I was not about to take this bit random list of small portioned food and eat it all like a grocery list. So I created this warm salad. The whole cup of green beans, both slices of turkey chopped, 6 of my baby carrots chopped, 1/4 of my apple cubed beautifully, and of course, the only seasonings allowed in this diet, salt and pepper. Tossed and microwaved for 1 minute. I wasted nothing though. What I did not put in the salad I ate on it's own. Now mt tummy is happy, and this salad was bomb. For a diet salad anyway..... I would never eat this a normal basis without adding a lemon vinaigrette and of course some spinach leaves. Maybe toss some sauteed onions in too. Basically, it needs some work, but it quenched my craving for creative cooking. And for dessert? 1/2 cup of vanilla ice cream. =)
