Oh my goodness I am stuffed!! I did not intend to eat such a large lunch, it just kind of fell together. I went back to that little sandwich shop for round two. This time around I tried their salmon burger on whole wheat:

This was great! They put some sort of sauce on it (which wasn’t on the menu). I’m not sure what type of sauce it was, but I think it was tartar – wouldn’t have been my choice, but it was good with the lettuce and onions. I also picked up a little thing of grapes:

I also got myself a treat:

So now I am packed to the gills. Yum, yum, yum – it was all delicious. All together:

Lunch was 687 calories, 85g carbs, 22g fat, and 42g protein.

Most of my office has left already/is leaving soon – I hope I’ll get to too!!

Wet Lunch

On Friday mornings, my office has our weekly breakfast. The company buys a huge supply of fruit and bagels and people just snack all day. It’s been really tough for me in the past not to just pick and pick and pick. To combat this, I’ve stopped eating the bagels and started bringing my usual breakfast. Once I have a delicious NY bagel with aprox a gallon of cream cheese, I feel crummy for the rest of the day. Now I just steal a bowl of fruit to have with my lunch, ergo:

It’s all about finding solutions that work for you, right?

For some reason, between the gym, cleaning, and early bed, I couldn’t get it together last night to make lunch for today. So I thought it would be a good time to buy lunch! :) I went to Guy and Gallard and got a small spinach salad with broccoli, tomatos, roasted red peppers, chickpeas, and peas. This came with a small container of fat-free raspberry vinaigrette, which I had a few forkfuls of. (PS. Of course the one day I leave the office to get lunch, it’s rainy and cold!)

Along with my salad, I got myself a treat:

I love these crisps! I used to eat them all the time, but as I’ve tried to move away from processed foods, they fell off the rotation months ago. But when I saw them at G&G, I knew they should be mine.

All together:

Yum! My body just loooves a truckload of fresh fruits and veggies! Lunch was 445 calories, 85g carbs, 5g fat, and 21g protein.

Have a great afternoon, guys!
