What I [Snacked On] Wednesday
I haven’t been sticking to the Tone It Up meal plan very strictly, but one thing I did learn from the 7 day slim down was that I need more snacks during the day, rather than at night. (Contrary to what my mouth believes, I don’t actually need mounds of peanut butter at 11pm. Weird, I know.) So I’ve been eating snacks throughout the day, to prevent that “oh-my-gosh-I’m-starving” feeling by the time I sit down for a meal. It seems to be working quite well.
Breakfast
I’m still doing the 12 day Good Belly Challenge, so I kick my morning off with a shot of probiotics and a glass of water. Chased shortly after with a chocolate smoothie, with PB2 and a little coconut for fun.
Morning snack
Usually this is an apple, but yesterday it was a Kashi Go Lean bar, because that’s what I had in my bag. I also like to drink a giant glass of water with lemon slices. It tastes so refreshing.
Lunch
It’s slightly ridiculous how I can eat the same thing over and over and not get sick of it. I’ve been eating this salad since summer and I can’t stop. I’m obsessed. But the edamame and feta keep me full!
Seriously, can I just eat this forever?
Afternoon snack
Despite what it looks like from the day of eats, I generally try not to eat a lot of packaged food. But it was a busy day, so sometimes you gotta do it. I tried this new FiberPlus protein bar, and I was impressed.
It doesn’t win the award for fewest ingredients, but for 170 calories, 7g fiber and 10g protein, it’s not a bad snack. And the taste was amazing. Especially if you like peanuts.
Dinner
On my way over to a friends house, I stopped by Whole Foods, and filled up a couple of trays from the hot bar for us.
I tried a little of everything (except the chicken) and I really liked a lot of it. The wheat berry salad reminded me of the one from Ellwood Thompson and I loved the chickpeas, of course. We had leftovers because everything was super filling. I did snack on a few chocolate covered graham crackers later… but hey. Gotta end on something sweet, right?
What are you snacking on?
Mmmm looks yummy. I want to visit the Whole Foods hot bar now!
I love the name good belly challenge 🙂
The Whole Food’s salad and hot bar is one of my favorite splurges. Looks delicious!! I’m currently (well, it’s packed for this afternoon) snacking on an apple and baggie of pistachios!
I love the wheatberry salad from Whole Foods too.
I’ve been snacking more throughout the day to crave my nightly hunger as well! I just cant deny peanut butter!!
I’m pretty much the same. I can eat the same thing over and over and not get bored.
I love snacking on rice cakes (topped with peanut or almond butter), greek yogurt, and of course protein bars. I tried the larabar coconut creme yesterday – delish!!
Yay for healthy eating! I’m really trying to clean up my diet after one too many weeks of holidays/tropical vacations/birthdays/you catch my drift 😉 I’m loving salsa lately, on anythingggggg. Even celery. Who knew?
SERIOUSLY that lunch looks so good. I wish I could recreate a salad like that, but man am I a lame salad maker!
I am so glad that I am not the only one who loves green apples. It seems like people look at me weird when I buy/eat them ;).
That dinner looks amazing. I need to remember what a great selection Whole Foods has. I just never think to go there for lunch or dinner :(.
I think I could eat that salad day after day too. Looks delicious!
