Weekday Meal

I have seen several people posting this so I thought I would join. Now this isn’t a completely typical day for me. I normally don’t have sausage three times a day, but I am trying to use it up before it goes bad and I really love it! Also I had a major PB issue last night so I was a little sore today. I normally wouldn’t have split my lunch with my afternoon snack, but the extra restriction from the swelling made me eat less for most of the day. By dinner I felt fine so I was able to eat everything (but I loved feeling what real restriction feels like for once). Since I split my lunch and didn’t have an additional snack I was a little short on calories and protein so I finished the day off with a protein shake. I don’t do this often, but it works really well to get my numbers up on a slow day.
  • Breakfast: Protein Shake
  • Snack: Bagel Chips and low fat cream cheese
  • Lunch: ½ Italian Turkey Sausage, Strawberries, and pita chips
  • Snack: ½ Italian Turkey Sausage, Strawberries, and pita chips
  • Dinner: 1 Italian Turkey Sausage, Wilted spinach with bacon and mushrooms
  • Snack: Protein Shake 
I ended up spot on with my calories, protein, fat and carbs. And honestly I felt like I ate a lot today. The only thing I would have changed is the way I got a lot of my carbs. The pita chips and bagel chips were whole grains, but I would have preferred to have had one of those in a non snack food form.
