FRIDAY...THANK GOD!
Hey, but I work all weekend, so Friday is like any other. Really I am on call with my job like 7 days a week and I am here on weekends, but not necessarily all day and it's quite a bit more relaxed.
So here's the plan for today's munchies;
Breakfast: Egg White Salad
Snacks: A Large Orange, Dannon Light and Fit, 2 Pickles, and of course my handy dandy almonds
Lunch: 3 cups mache (lambs lettuce)
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup FF ricotta
1/4 cup chopped tomatoes
404 Salsa Chicken
Salsa Chicken: This recipe I got a from a friend that is a die hard Atkins follower (I keep trying to convert her, but she wont listen). Basically you take like 2 lbs of chicken strips (frozen) and throw into a crock pot or stove top stew pot and cover with 5 cups of any salsa. I added 1/4 cup baby corn and you just stew it until the meet just falls apart. It's pretty tasty and that is a huge serving (404 grams) that packs a good amount of protein and too shabby on calories. After all, it is just chicken.
Here is how my numbers check out thus far for the day.

Sodium and Cholesterol are a bit high which really bothers me and that will be something I will have to work on next week, but for now I am happy with my results and planning for the day. Yesterday was not too shabby either, but by the end of the day I was at 1700. My goal is to stay under 1600. It's a progression and is going to take me a bit of time and adjusting before I can maintain at or below 1600. No pressure!
