Today's Food

I am keeping my resolution to post more and do better CR - at least on Jan. 1 - by planning my food carefully today. I am very pleased with the result, so I will share it with you and post it ahead of time. This should help me to avoid the box of chocolates that my husband brought back from his mother's house. Thankfully, the peanut butter cookies and toffee are all gone. I hate holiday food. It just makes CR that more difficult.

"Breakfast"
3 cups of decaf coffee
4 grams of dried papaya (really)

Lunch
Chicken sandwich
105 grams of baked chicken breast - a leftover
51 grams of multigrain bread
4 grams of mustard
Leftover winter squash
90 grams of microwaved acorn squash, cooked with some maple syrup and cinnamon
10 grams of dried cranberries

Snack
80 g of avocado - mashed with lemon juice, salsa, garlic and salt to make guacamole
10 g of tortilla chips (I will weigh these out, too)
200g of low salt V-8

Dinner
100g of wild sockeye salmon, baked without oil
80 g of microwaved sweet potato, including skin
60 grams of romaine, topped with 10g of goat gouda, 10g of carrots, 10g of bell pepper
Post dinner CR cocoa - teaspoon of cocoa powder, dash of cinnamon in hot water with sucalose

This is 991 calories with 100 grams of carbs, and 76 grams of protein. As usual, it is low in things I always supplement - calcium, magnesium, zinc, folate and E.
