How I eat because I can…
When you are single and living in your own apartment….I can eat right out of the take out containers!
Dinner was take-out from work, which was fabulous! My manager offered to buy me dinner, a perk of working in a restaurant and working hard! She suggested the special, “Kate’s North Atlantic Haddock with Feta and Artichokes”…
It blew me away ! I was really not that eager to try it, as you will see in a minute, I am very much a creature of habit. She described it though and sold me ( well, she was buying it so she sold herself!?). It is a Haddock fillet, lightly coated in parmesan.They grill that so it isn’t too oily or greasy but add a lemon basil butter with Feta and Artichokes…
YUM!! Definitely try this if you are going to Bonefish Grill soon! It comes with our garnish, which is a corn, edamame, and pepper succotash cooked with bacon. I had french fries and a house salad as my sides- but the fries were too soggy by the time I got home to eat them.
As you can see, eating out has all this “added” calories that are hidden in the descriptions! That butter, plus the bacon, plus the fries… It makes the food delicious, but it also makes the food high in calories due to the added fats. I had plenty of food, which is also a perk of being on my own- I can have extra for lunch instead of giving my extra to someone else!
Other meals this weekend had to be super quick and nutritious because I have worked 42 hour since friday and had thesis research, class for 12 hours, and just no time to fuss around!
Easy quick Protein:
The 4% does taste different than nonfat. I eat lots of plant based fruits and vegetables so I figure the 4% is worth it for the taste when considering my overall dietary intake.
Sometimes I just eat it out of the container because I can… I did try to make it look more appealing this weekend though…
and balance the protein out with fruit
or higher fiber cereal to fill me up completely
As I mentioned a few posts back, I really like this meal…It is has been my go-to breakfast all weekend.
I am realizing now just how many times I had this concoction. I do eat other foods though, such as this: I made a quick lunch of brussel sprouts (steamed), black beans with salsa and cheese, and some Smoked Salmon
Did you know that one of the best sources of Vitamin D is fatty fish, such as Salmon?
I also like to eat out of tupperware…
That was two servings of black beans, low fat cheese, and lots of salsa. That about wraps up my intake for the weekend! I hope you enjoyed the photos and the food, and since this is a longer weekend recap, I did the separate Body Mind Soul recap on this post: Single on Valentine’s Day. Thank you for all of your wonderful comments this weekend- I loved reading them and seeing how wonderful your love-filled-weekends went!
