It’s another WIAW (What I Ate Wednesday, for those of you that haven’t yet experienced the magic of Peas & Crayon’s link party!) I’m STILL trying to figure out how to get the beautiful link/logo into wordpress… so any wordpress bloggers, feel free to pass along the knowledge!
So this is really What I Ate Tuesday… but details details.
Breakfast was typical:
1 cup almond milk, 1/2 banana, 2 packets of truvia, with a side of PB2
Lunch was a quick stop in the cafeteria at work, but I managed to throw together a decent salad:
That’s romaine, carrots, onion, chickpeas, edamame, almonds, croutons, green peppers, corn, and a little olive oil. Yum! Love the crunch of the almonds!
The salad was good, but I had to work late, and I forgot to pack an afternoon snack, so by the time I got home, I was STARVING.
I threw together some filling yet simple vegan mac n cheese with peas, which hit the spot!
After I knocked this out, I had a sweet potato, roasted in the oven and served with some a lot of ketchup:
(I know, that’s the same picture from Sunday, because it was essentially the same thing as Sunday!)
I went over to a friend’s house to watch Glee and work on an art project, so I didn’t have my usual late night snack… which was probably good. I’m going to try to reinstate my “no snacking late at night” rule. I need to fuel my body during the day, not right before I go to bed!
Are you a late night snacker? What was the best thing you ate yesterday (or today!)?

Im SUCH a late night snacker!! I am trying to figure out where I go wrong throughout the day, because I am actually HUNGRY!! It doesnt make any sense to me, but maybe that just means I need to up my calories
I try so hard not to snack at night but always end up having a cup of tea and a muffin or something around 9:30…so bad to have that esp. carbs so late!
Sometimes I can’t resist! Although I’ve been trying to drink tea as a distraction to keep me from a snack
oh i always have a night snack!! need it to help me sleep! i love your mac n cheeze thang!
I’ve been trying not to eat after dinner. It’s such a habit from growing up I want something sweet after dinner. I’m try to slowly change that. So far I’ve been having hot chocolate every night.. I’m hoping next week I can turn it into every other night
Oh that’s a good idea!! I’m trying warm water + lemon. It helps keep me distracted! Although I usually end up munching on pretzels or something!
Love that vegan mac and cheese. I definitely need to try that and I am such a huge ketchup junkie. I think I eat way more of that stuff than I’m suppose to lol I’m a late night snacker and it hasn’t affected me in anyway. I can’t sleep well on an empty stomach. Is there any particular reason why you want to stop munching late?
Mostly because the snacking I do at night is the least healthy of my daily eating, and it’s also when I do the most “mindless munching”…
I may do a whole post on my reasons!
I stop snacking at 8p — it’s the only way I can prevent myself from going hog wild
I think that’s what I’m going to (attempt) to start doing! Lock down after 8!
Ugh, late night snacking is my Achilles heel! Right now my living room is the same room as the kitchen (tiny-ass European flat) so it’s impossible to watch TV and not see the fridge.
If I’m really feeling the temptation, I just go upstairs and watch stuff on my laptop. When I don’t cave and eat something I probably shouldn’t
I hear ya! In my current apartment, I can practically watch tv from the fridge
Not good!!
I am a total late night snacker-it’s usually cereal or a vitatop!
mmmmmm mac and cheese..that sounds DELISH! I am a late night snacker FO SHO!
I am trying to kick my late night snacking habit. I hate going to be full- it’s even worse when I wake up still full!
The vegan mac and cheese looks amazing.
I love that you have to read the Wall Street Journal every morning.
I love it even MORE that you are a “Jersey Shore” fan.
HOLLLAAA!

Your breakfast looks so creamy!!!! Was it the banana that made it that way?
Yes indeed!!! And if you freeze the banana, and freeze the almond milk in an ice cube tray overnight, it makes your smoothie super thick, like ice cream!
Your eats look delish!
I use to be a late snacker but was able to break the habit. I am so glad that I did. Of course I eat every 3 hours or so, so if I am out late I will snack appropriately
I’m glad to hear its possible to break the habit!!
The vegan mac n cheese looks so good!! I’m definitely a late night snacker…it’s all about cereal and milk for me!
If I’m up late and bored i’ll snack. Usually i’m unconscious after blog reading though
ooh if you switch to the HTML tab for posting and then add the link/image html from my page in there, and THEN switch back to your normal writing format it will work
promise <3
I’m not really a late night snacker but sometimes I just get a super strong craving! And I bet your tummy is very happy! Those eats all look wonderful! My fav thing I’ve been eating lately is sweet potato with goat cheese, salsa and beans
I’m def a late night snacker! Usually chocolate. Or cheese :p I’m eating a late breakfast of oatmeal with coconut butter, coconut flakes, mashed banana and shaved dark chocolate – it’s the best thing I’ve eaten all week
To get Jenn’s pretty logo into your post copy the code she has on her site, and when you’re making your blog post, after it’s all written, click the tab for HTML instead of visual. Paste it where you want it in the post, and voila! All pretty. I hope that helps.
i can’t go to sleep without a late night snack. (it’s 100% psychological…) but usually I got for a piece of chocolate or some dessert hummus or something sweet or as of lately – cocoa almonds with a few chocolate chips! YUM!
wednesday was a lame day of eats for me. the best thing i had all day was a subway sandwhich!
Hi Liz! Congratulations on your 10k! I’m a very new runner, as you know (well, I probably can’t even call myself a runner yet). I can’t wait for the day that I can run a 10k!
I die for that vegan mac and cheese. Must try it immediately. Except I don’t have nutritional yeast. Gonna have to remedy that.
