For "breakfast" I had no food but hot chocolate (made w/ skim milk & dark chocolate.) Late lunch was Greek yogurt w/ fresh strawberries & honey. Dinner was mushroom ravioli w/ garlic olive oil and freshly shaved parmesan cheese. A side salad of spinach leaves and cherry tomatoes and carrots-no dressing. Dessert was 1/2 brownie w/ coffee chip ice cream on top .,. Would like to lose 5-10.

A Trader Joe's product that is so good it's crazy. It's made from speculoos cookies (little Belgian cookies with a hint of gingerbready-cinnamony flavor). A friend of mine warned me she ate half a jar in one sitting when she got it and I couldn't see how that's possible but now I do. It's amazing. I limit myself to 1 serving/day which is 1 TB. There are "serving suggestions" on the jar for how to use it (on pancakes, waffles, etc.) but I haven't evolved past the eat-directly-from-the-spoon method of consumption.

Skim dark hot chocolate in the early AM.
First food of the day (bad I know)....was a HUGE red apple at 3:30.
Dinner was steamed spinach (fresh) w/ bbq pulled pork and 1/2 sweet potato.
Dessert was a slice of angel food cake/fresh strawberrries/whipped cream.

Small movie popcorn. No butter.

I think there are some serious eating disorders going on here.

I mean 3/4 of blackberries? Really?

Actually in many cases it is an estimation and not a measurement. Being mindful of portion sizes isn't necessarily unhealthy eating and can be helpful to weight loss or maintenance.

Breakfast: two hard boiled eggs and a few slices of pineapple

Lunch: salad with romaine, chicken, black beans, red peppers, tomatos and balsamic dressing

Dinner: spinach salad, homemade bolognese over wheat pasta

Snacks: apple, string cheese

Fat, pregnant and happy.

And red peppers. My favorite!

Submitted too early. Sorry.

And 2 days is not a "bender for days on end." Typically I eat beets/carrots/spinach/tomato....and rotate these with my dinners.
