Food Journal. 5 Weeks to Weightloss (Week 2)

By: Tanya Taylor, PhD | May 4, 2009

Still sick but feeling much better. After last weekend's snackathon, this week is about redeeming myself and today was off to a great start.

Breakfast. The usual Quaker Old Fashioned Oatmeal (1 cup) with 1 banana as per Susan's suggestion (although I haven't tried it yet with cottage cheese).

AM Snack. Nothing, wasn't hungry till lunch time.
Lunch. Leftovers from yesterday. Success Boil in a Bag Bown Rice with Mixed Vegetables & Chicken Strips. The boyfriend added Teriyaki sauce which really made it taste delicious. The chicken strips are just cut up pieces of Just Bare Chicken Breast which I cooked on Sunday.

PM Snack. Right before the gym I had the last Nature's Path Organic Optimum Energy Bar (Orange Chocolate) that I found on sale.

Chicken Sweet Potato Dinner

Dinner. Baked Chicken, Baked Sweet Potato & Green Beans (sauteed in olive oil & garlic). This was so tasty and so healthy! Sweet potato has a low glycemic index, plus the nutrition stats are out of this World!

Late Snack. 1 glass of Beringer California Chardonnay (2007) and Pop Weaver Light Butter Popcorn (nutrition facts) - I had 2 cups.

Do you use a cup of oats raw or is that a cup cooked?

Are you sure that there are only 50 calories per bag? Do they have mini bags? According to the website, the regular bag has 10 cups in it, and each cup has 20 calories, so thats 200 total.

Actually, my mistake, it has 250 total, because it has 2.5 servings of 5 cups each serving (100 cals per serving)

Ahh my math was wrong - good thing I only had 2 cups (popped).

If you try it with cottage cheese, I put 1/4 cup in the oatmeal while it's cooking -- I don't add it afterward.
