I'm never hungry so early, but I ate a banana as I was driving (read: hardly moving at all damn you 405) to school so that I would have energy for my PIIT (affiliate link) workout before class.
Had a very "eh" workout, mainly because I was V irritated that I locked my keys in my car along with my food for the whole day which means I'd be spending big bucks to eat on campus until I could wait for AAA to come after class.
Thankfully, I got through the workout without screaming or punching anyone (except the mat) and was able to really enjoy this Chunky Strawberry Peanut Butter bowl at Jamba Juice. I really didn't want to go back after they were so rude about my Celiacs last time, but desperate times..and this time they were much more considerate actually. Happily subbing the granola for chia seeds.
Between my morning and afternoon class I was able to stop into the cafeteria and build this combo plate of spicy lemon tofu, black beans, and buttery mashed potatoes. I was V impressed at how much tofu they gave me (almost made me less bitter about paying for food..almost) and the potatoes were so good. I ended up eating a little over half for lunch at noon and the rest around 2 P.M. for a snack.
A chocolate chip brownie LARA bar (best flavor ever seriously) & my newfound obsession: sweet potato Pop Chips! I wish I knew where I could find them - my mom gave them to me - because they're so sugary and crispy. Perfect combo
Dinner]
My grandma took my family out to eat at Fornaio and I felt so grateful that Italian food no longer makes me afraid. I ordered this awesome, gluten free pasta made from scratch with chicken, sun dried tomato, & garlic sauce.
Also had some of grandma's ceasar salad and a few bites of dad's chicken & potatoes.
A little bowl of the Sahale Snacks Nut Crisp that I introduced y'all to on Market Haul Monday. I've said it once, and I'll say it again: French. Toast. In. A. Bag. Also, this mix has 140 calories per 1/4 cup. I don't measure, but I know that is pretty calorically dense. That being said, DON'T be afraid of high calorie foods. Nuts are naturally high in calories but have so much nutritional value and won't leave you unsatisfied / hungry like a bag of 100 calorie chips. Just portion yourself so you don't end up with a tummy ache or if you're a skilled intuitive eater, eat til satisfaction :)
Before you go:
Tell me,
Have you ever locked your keys in the car or house at a REALLY inconvenient time?
Are you a tofu eater or meat all the way?
Where's your next vacation planned for?
