Posted: May 26, 2011 at 2:21 pmI think it might be more realistic to do my log the next day, as it will allow me to write the post in all its glory one time.
Breakfast
Minute Maid® Enhanced Pomegranate Blueberry
I was not entirely sure how much I would like this when I bought it, but I was pleasantly surprised. I realize juice is not much of a breakfast, but it didn’t cause me to have hunger pains or anything.

Snack One
One Dannon Activia Light Vanilla Yogurt cup
I was not expecting to like this. Since I’m a vanilla ice cream fan, I have found that other vanilla flavors don’t really have the same yum factor. This was not bad though. Does it beat ice cream, no… but it certainly is good enough to eat a second time. (as if I would not finish the box of the stuff i have in my fridge)

Lunch
Healthy Choice Fresh Mixers Steak Portobello
These meals are not half bad for what they are. While I acknowledge that they certainly will not be winning any culinary awards, they are handy to have around if you’re needing a quick meal.

Snack Two
One Serving of Planters Dry Roasted Peanuts. I realize that the caloric information on this is repetitive, and will continue to be (as i have a huge can)… I apologize for that. However, the point of this exercise is to count calories. I suppose there is the small point of sharing my opinion on the taste and quality of low calorie meals and snacks that I try.

Dinner
I tried to be creative at dinner, unfortunately I do not have a calorie count… But I did use good ingredients.
I made Tilapia Wraps. I’m uncertain as to how good this recipe actually is, as my husband hasn’t eaten it yet. I have a feeling that the curry I used was not quite right for the recipe, but I was too chicken to use the spicy curry. The dish ended up being on the sweet side, and I’m thinking that did not combine in the best way with the garden salsa I had selected. However, having said all that, it certainly was not inedible and I’ll be eating left overs for lunch on Thursday.
My recipe had the following in it:
2 Tilapia Filets
3 teaspoons of Chile flavored Olive oil
1 teaspoon of a Tandori type curry
few dashes of French sea salt
Tomato flavored wheat tortillas
lettuce
small sprinkling of grated cheese
about 3/4 cup of garden salsa
