I like how this guy thinks!
I have TERRIBLE eating habits. The reason I haven’t participated YET in “What I Ate Wednesday” is that a) I eat far too few fruits and vegetables (making me a terrible role model) and b) I graze constantly. The thought of photographing EVERYTHING is a little daunting.
Today, however, I submit to you what I ate, in an effort to shame myself into making some nutritional improvements and maybe eat some stuff I’m not embarrassed to take pictures of!
Oh yeah…the stuff I ate too fast to remembered to take a picture is represented in clips from the internet and is noted as such.
The rice krispy treat, breakfast of champions…
…washed down with DD, hold the side of whole coffee beans (from http://www.groceryshopforfree.com)
Breakfast number two — caffeine-free this time. The oatmeal may be the healthiest thing I ate all day.
This was lunch….with another caffeine-free Diet Coke
Yes, this is the same picture….I ate another one, around 2 pm.
A handful of cashews with sea-salt after work.
Appetizer?
Dinner was homemade sloppy joes that looked a LOT like this one (from http://disaster.salvationarmyusa.org — BTW, it accompanied a recipe that feeds 150 people…and uses 45 pounds of ground beef!!)
Tonight’s side dish, enjoyed with Old Bay seasoning and Tabasco….isn’t that how everyone eats their “tots”? (image from http://www.oreida.com/products)
There’s really nowhere to go but up, right?
“Elvis has left the building!”
Holy moly. I think I just had a heart attack.
Learn to cook, not because you are eating bad food, but because you are eating such a poor substitute for food. There are some truly life changing foods out there. Get up, go out and discover real food. You will not be disappointed.
I know, right? It’s actually just my breakfasts and lunches, now that I’m working, that need a makeover actually. I generally cook dinner — last evening we had roast chicken with fresh carrots and onions and homemade gravy. It’s when I’m “unsupervised” that I get into the most trouble — ha ha.
Hey, come on. Don’t be so hard on yourself! Those cheese crackers were whole grain! =) At any rate, I heartily approve of your “appetizer.” yum!
Yes, yes they were — thanks for giving me a pass, there. As for the appetizer, it was just what the doctor ordered last evening! 🙂
Yeah, I don’t see anything wrong. Nuts are good for you, you’ve got burger in that sloppy joe which also has tomato in it, whole grains & Elvis. Okay, you could have grabbed an apple but other than that….
Besides you’ve had some awesome recipes out there that most people wouldn’t bother to make. I’m not sure if it was George Carlin but a very funny line I heard once was “wouldn’t you feel stupid dying in a hospital bed of – nothing?” Personally I’d skip the diet Coke – it’s not good for you.
You’re so sweet — I do eat healthy now and again, don’t I? 🙂 You are probably right about the diet soda — unfortunately it might be the hardest habit for me to break (that,and I totally got Scott hooked on it during his diet last spring…oops!)
Hey you’re talking to someone who just had Special K for dinner…on my own tonight.
And I thought I was the only one who eats rice Krispy treats for breakfast 🙂
Hey, they still snap, crackle, and pop, right? That’s my rationale (of course, I have one for everything I decide to eat – ha ha)
Oh, dear. How are you not as big as a house with all those empty calories? I would be constantly starving if I ate like that…..I eat mostly protein and I STILL need to eat every 2 1/2 – 3 hours. I hate to cook, but I will tell you my secret for breakfast. Pour one cup of liquid eggs from a carton into a pan. Then add a quarter of an avocado and an ounce of grated cheese. Cook it for, like, four minutes & you’ve got a healthy, filling, low calorie breakfast. My trick for lunch is that we make extra servings of dinner each night, so I take the leftovers for lunch each day. If I don’t have anything, I get a rotisserie chicken and make a salad with it (not the whole thing, of course…ha!). My afternoon snack is 6 oz of plain Greek yogurt with about 6-8 sliced strawberries (has good protein and low glycemic index fruit)…then I’m home for dinner again. It’s very doable, if you are motivated. Hardly any processed foods enter my body. But, as you know, I’m also allergic to wheat, so that is extra motivation for me…..I might also be much older than you? I’m 39…..and my metabolism is not what it used to be….I have to be careful if I want to stay trim.
Taller, maybe, but not older — ha ha. We’re actually quite close — I turned 41 in September 🙂
I LOVE avocado — that daily starter sounds yummy! Of course, despite your assurances otherwise, I’m envisioning you tucking into a WHOLE rotisserie chicken over greens at lunch!
As for why I’m not the size of a house, it’s definitely gotten tougher, the older I get, but the combination of my father’s family’s metabolism and my “nervous” energy (again, thanks Dad…I think!) seems to do the trick.
I do need to eat often, and usually fill in the day with cashews, sunflower seeds, and my favorite Naked juice, the Red Machine (oh yeah, and jellybeans..)
I’m jealous!! I finally figured out over the years what makes me feel good and I just cannot consume very much processed sugar (if any) and, of course, the wheat and oats are out. I was walking past the bakery today and looking wistfully at all of the goodies. I know it’s good for me to not have them….but I do miss them! The seeds and nuts are fabulous…I eat those, too.
