I got my packet from Allan, and read through all the food choices and recommendations. Then I headed to the kitchen to try and rustle up some dinner. Didn't make it out to grocery shop today, as I worked late. But the challenge was on! I just had to find something in the freezer, fridge, and pantry that would still keep me within limit.
Granted, lunch was too many calories. As I walked out the door, it occurred to me that I should have eaten half, and brought the rest home for tomorrow's lunch, and I would have been well within my allotted calories. But tomorrow, game on!
So for dinner, I just happened to have some tilapia fillets in the freezer. After thawing, I sprinkled them with 2 tsp of Italian bread crumbs and 2 tsp of Parmesan cheese, a little Kosher salt and garlic powder: 149 calories per 3 ounce fillet.
Next up were some baked potatoes, on the small side. I had some really good looking tomatoes, which I quartered and sprinkled with Kosher salt and red wine vinegar. And I dug up a (**gasp**) can of baby peas.
Not terrible for a bare-bones, have-to-grocery-shop evening.
My servings: one tilapia fillet, 149 calories
1/2 of a small baked potato with 2 tsp butter, 124 calories
1 tomato, 22 calories
1/2 cup of peas sprinkled with a bit of lemon juice, 60 calories.
10 ounces of maple lemonade, 60 calories
Total: 415 calories. That brings me to 1068 calories for the day. And I'm comfortable at 8:30pm.
Have 1.5 bottles of water to finish today, and I'll be at 83 ounces.
I'm feeling good!
G'nite all! And lets get this ball rolling!!
That is pretty darned good for on the fly planning. I wish I had that dinner.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to shop too. I plan on going Wednesday evening but have enough to get me through tomorrow on plan with what Allan sent.
