A Day in the Life of My Tummy
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!)?

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!
mmmmmm mac and cheese..that sounds DELISH! I am a late night snacker FO SHO!
I am a total late night snacker-it’s usually cereal or a vitatop! 🙂
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 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!
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’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!
oh i always have a night snack!! need it to help me sleep! i love your mac n cheeze thang!
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 😉
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
