Update.. Day 5 and 6

Before I get started... pictures from Day 4 (which was the first day off of smoothies)


This chicken... seriously so good!  Garlic and herb seasoning on the chicken.  Sooooo yummmy. 

Susan came over to celebrate the end of the smoothie detox and we had the chicken, 1/2 cup whole wheat pasta and green beans in balsamic dressing. 

Ok.. yesterday was Day 5. Here was the menu:

Breakfast:
Protein shake: 1 cup milk, 1 scoop protein powder
Apple

Morning snack:
Greek yogurt, granola 

Totals: 1 protein, 2 dairy, 1 grain


Lunch: (leftovers from the day before)
Chicken
1/2 cup whole wheat pasta with oil and garlic
Green beans in balsamic dressing

Totals: 1 protein, 1 grain, 2 fats

Snack:
Apple


Dinner:
Turkey burger
1/2 cup whole wheat pasta salad (peppers, celery, olives, cheddar cheese)

 That's Tom's hand in the top of the second picture... he tried to block my shot but I got it anyway. 

Totals: 1 protein, 1 grain, 1 fats (oil in pasta salad)

Daily Totals:

I was pleasantly surprised at how full I was all day.  YAY.

Cut to today... today is Day 6 total.  Here's the menu:

Breakfast: 
Greek yogurt, granola 
Totals: 1 dairy, 1 grain


Lunch: (leftovers from the day before)
Turkey burger
1/2 cup whole wheat pasta salad (peppers, celery, olives, cheddar cheese)
Totals: 1 protein, 1 grain, 1 fat

Snack:
Cheese stick
Total: 1 dairy

Dinner:
Tilapia
1/2 cup brown rice
Peas
Wine
Total: 1 protein, 1 grain

Daily Totals: 
Protein: 2
Grains: 3
Fat: 1
Dairy: 2

So it looks like I'm going to be low on protein and fat by the end of the day.  I might have veggies and hummus if I get hungry this afternoon.  The hummus would be another protein.  All in all its pretty hard to get the second serving of dairy (one cheese stick is not a complete serving).  3 servings of protein is hard too.  I really need to just start having a protein shake for a snack each day or something.  Yesterday I had the protein shake and apple in the car on my way to work, worked out, and then had my yogurt later in the morning.  I will keep this up on M, W, F when I have boot camp at work.  On non workout days I don't really need the extra calories in the morning...
