Tuesday’s Eats
There’s something kind of odd about cataloging your eats for the day. If you’ve ever kept a food journal, you know that just being aware of what you eat, often causes you to make better choices. It’s strange, but it tends to work. It’s probably also a little strange that I find it fascinating to see what others are eating. It gives me inspiration and recipe ideas, and often, it motivates me to try something new.
I’ve been doing these posts for awhile now and hopefully today’s post, strange though it may be for some of you, will encourage and inspire you to eat more fruits and veggies! Here’s a little “What I Ate Tuesday“.
Breakfast
I rolled out of bed at 5:30am to go to spin class (read all about that here) and although I wasn’t hungry, I managed to eat half an apple to give me a little fuel during the class. Once I got home, I had the other half of the apple, plus a couple of slices of toast and a mug of coffee. If you haven’t tried Food For Life Bread before, check it out. It’s delicious and super good for you. Peanut butter just wasn’t sounding great (who am I?) so I just spread a little butter on top.
Lunch
I was able to get lunch with my brother, which was so fun. I love that we work at the same company, so we can squeeze in lunch dates every now and then. I had a sandwich from Which-Wich, which was a lettuce wrap filled with hummus, feta, tomatoes, cucumbers, and red peppers. It was awesome. I love their lettuce wraps! Veggies inside a veggie? Win-win.
In the afternoon, I had half of a Thin Thin bar, and when I got home, I had another slice of toast. We weren’t eating until later and I was so hungry when I walked in the door, I knew I needed something to tide me over! Of course, I saved room for dinner…
Dinner
My roommates and I decided to have a little dinner date at Mellow Mushroom. We shared some spinach dip, and then Rachel and I split this Kosmic Karma pizza. We got a small and still took half home, because it was so filling! One piece was all I could handle, (probably due to that spinach dip…) but it was SO good! Feta + Pesto = delicious.
Despite eating both lunch and dinner at restaurants, I felt pretty good about the day. I definitely worked up an appetite and spin class, but I also didn’t totally stuff myself with pizza. Balance, that’s what we’re after here, right?
That pizza looks phenomenal! I love thick crust and pesto and feta sounds like a great combo 🙂
That’s my favorite pizza place and my favorite pizza they have. We usually add mushrooms too! I love reading WIAW and getting new ideas for healthy and tasty meals. I have never been to your lunch spot but that lettuce wrap sounds good!
Oh dang, that veggie sandwich has my name all over it. Sounds amazing!
It is so true!! I think on days when I have snapped all my eats I always end up usually being healthier, funny how that happens.
I am drooling at that pizza.
The toast towel you used along with your breakfast is adorable. I love home goods with food print! 🙂
Sometimes you just need some butter on your toast. For real. Or just plain bread. Bread + butter is such an underrated meal/snack.
That pizza looks like it had an epic crust. The crust makes or breaks a pizza in my opinion. Before even eating it, I will judge by the look of the crust 😉
I got the towel at Target for just a couple of bucks! They had tons of cute patterns 🙂 I just couldn’t resist!
Feta and pesto?! I need to go to Mellow Mushroom STAT! (I still haven’t been)
You’ve gotta check it out! So delicious 🙂
I made a glorious homemade soup for lunch, curried butternut squash and coconut hmmmm : )
Lettuce wrap sandwiches sound amazing! I wish there was somewhere around me that did something like that! The only thing we can get around here are greasy sandwichs or subway (which I love, but definitely get sick of after awhile). Also, that pizza looks delicious. I’ve only ever been to a Mellow Mushroom once in my life, and definitely need to have a repeat experience!
Boo, that stinks! I’m lucky there are so many places around here that carry fast but healthy food!
I love it when people post their eats. It gives me ideas. And I’m so jealous you’ve got a Mellow Mushroom near you! 😉
A Mellow Mushroom that’s walking distance is amazing (and also dangerous… hahaha)
I’ve never been to Which Wich, but I’ve heard great things! All of your eats look delicious.
