Food log

I’m following Amanda’s blog and have signed up for her monthly project, which is to keep a food log.  I’ve done this in the past using an Excel spreadsheet (used it to track calories and weight) but haven’t done it with pictures before.

Here is what I ate today:

Ok, this first one is kind of a regular with me.  I have this every day.  I even bring it for camping trips if I can, as well as “away” races.  All-bran, skim milk, two heaping teaspoons of Red Mill ground flax seed.  Good stuff.

I get my three fish oil pills in the morning after breakfast.  I have some doubt as to its efficacy, but I figure it can’t hurt much.

I tend to each a lot of chicken.  Since this is the weekend, I have a regular chicken sandwich.  Whole wheat bread.  A bit of Miracle Whip.  ;)

Fruit.  ‘Nuff said.

Now these things below may look like meatballs but they are actually made of cake.  Santa bought me a cake pop maker (looks like a waffle iron really), so I tried it out.  They come out crispy on the outside and cakey on the inside.  I had two.    Spoon shown for scale.

Remember what I said about chicken?  Second chicken sandwich of the day.  And carrot.  Vitamin A.  :)

This is 1 cup of Chobani fat-free strawberry yogurt with All-bran thrown in for crunch.  Good stuff.  Sorry it was out of focus.

And just before bed I had a can of progresso beef soup.  Reduced sodium but still more than I really should be having.

So there it is.  Food I ate today.  Its a bit of a pain having to go get the camera before I eat, but I can deal so far.  During the week, I can take a picture of my lunch before I pack it away, so I won’t have people wondering why I am taking pictures at lunch time.

Looking back at today I see a distinct lack of green anything.  During the week I have a salad every day, but I guess on the weekend, that slips.  Hmmmm.
