December's pink food thread!

Welcome, Chocolate! Z and I started the diet around the same time and swayed together all last summer, so I'm very familiar with what she ate on a daily basis - good idea to mimic her food choices!

Oh gosh Chocolate, I hope it works for you too! Rainbow is also in the UK so I'm sure you'll be a great help to each other. Just remember to track your calories and protein and your sodium if you choose to - obviously those sweet treats are only ok if included in your daily allowance! Enjoy

7.50am - coffee with soy milk.

1.40pm - leftover basmati rice with green beans and mushrooms and a little (about 25g worth) of reduced fat cream cheese, with a diet Dr Pepper (whoa! I HAAAAATE aspartame, but I couldn't really taste it...)

3.00pm - three bitesize chocolates at work.


7:00pm - Three Ryvita cracked black pepper crispbreads and three sweet chilli Ryvita thins, with a half of a cucumber skinned and sliced, about 50g of baby button mushrooms cooked, about 150g of nonfat cottage cheese, and about 25g of reduced fat cream cheese. (the stuff was used as toppings to the different Ryvita things. A lot of dairy, I know, but my son and husband finished off my reduced fat hummus today!)

Calories: 1,024
Protein: 46 (is that too much? :/)
Fat: 18
Sodium: Ehh, can't be right... but... 621

I'm from Arizona! But I live in the UK. I miss mexican food. Especially in Arizona.

I'm sooooo starved today. It didn't help that we were just at the mall and I had to walk through the food court right near suppertime! I think I'm having a veggie burger for supper tonight. I've already worked out all my totals and I can fit it in with 300mg of sodium to spare - even WITH ketchup and mustard! I'm also making sweet potato fries for myself to have with it with no salt or oil added - we'll see how they turn out!

I'm really hungry at the moment too - I've woken up feeling hungry which is unusual for me at the moment

Here's yesterday:

7am: coffee
12pm: Montreal-style bagel with a tiny bit of light cream cheese, 2 Peek Freans Lifestyles cookies
5:30pm: veggie burger on thin, low sodium bun with a dab of low sodium ketchup and mustard + almost a whole sweet potato worth of sweet potato fries with a bit of malt vinegar on them - I cooked them with no salt or oil
9pm: realised I had only 700 calories for the day, so started trying to add to that - 1/2 glass white wine (I would have had more, but that was the end of the bottle), pineapple, a ton of Mike & Ike candies

Calories: 1172 (I definitely could have had more calories, but I was watching a movie with dh and kept driving him crazy when I paused it and went to the kitchen for more food)
Protein: 35.7
Sodium: 865

I love rice milk on its own, in cereal, etcetera, and I've switched to it in my coffee and it just doesn't work. I've barely drunk any! Siiiiiigh. Maybe it would work better in black tea...
