Thursday Eats

I see a lot of What I Ate Wednesday or WIAW posts on some of the blogs I read, so I wanted to share some of the foods I ate today. As you know I am trying to navigate through a journey of weight loss and figuring out what healthy, nutritious foods are delicious and satisfying at the same time.

One of my biggest problems is breakfast. I used to take advantage of the convenience of the local fast food joints to get a quick meal on the way into work, but that didn't do me any good. So, I have had to find alternatives for the benefit of my wallet and my ass.

Around 8:00 I ate a breakfast burrito with 1 egg and ground turkey sausage. I made this in a small flour tortilla with a little cheddar cheese on top. This kept me very satisfied and tasted great! I also ate a banana around 11:00 since I knew I wasn't going to be able to get to lunch until after 1:00 today.


Lunch can be a struggle because I can't always leave work as I planned. Sometimes I am stuck with choosing the surrounding fast food places and even a salad from there can sabotage any ones diet. Fortunately, I can usually get an hour away and more than likely I head home to make a quick and healthy lunch. Today, I got to do just that! I enjoyed half of a grilled chicken and veggie wrap with carrot sticks and a cup of white cheddar popcorn.


Dinner is all about portion control! My family likes to eat around 7:30 which is a long time since lunch. I find that I struggle with finding time to eat a snack between these meals so I go home starving and ready to pick. While dinner is being made I taste this, and nibble that. Not a good thing to do. So, I am trying to work in afternoon snacks that will keep me satisfied until dinner. For a snack today I had a nutri-grain bar.


 For dinner I had a piece of tilapia (half of whats pictured), garlic rice and roasted asparagus.


I ended it all with dove chocolates. How did those sneak in there?


Today was just a so-so day on the diet front. I definitely need to work on my portion controls. What do you think?

What did you eat today?
Do you eat afternoon snacks?
