Keeping our eating habits healthy
Posted by kmjamal | Under Weight Loss Wednesday Jun 24, 2009For the past 7 weeks I’ve been eating a 10am snack consisting of a coffee and all bran bar. The reality that this was not healthy didn’t come into mind.
I know the all bran bar has lots of fiber but it also contains a lot of sugar. In total the bran bar is sitting at 130 calories and that’s the Oatmeal Cinnamon version.
Today instead or in replace of the All Bran bar I’m enjoying a nice Gala Apple. Fruits are great for you and easy to digest and doesn’t leave extra fats to build up on your stomach wall.
I’m still enjoying my coffee despite the negative nutritional value information I found yesterday. I enjoy my coffee and I’m not going to give it up. What I do is have one coffee with cream and the rest have been with milk. I’m also trying to reduce the sugar I add to my coffee so I can once again escape the fat coming into my body.
If we drink 2 creams and 2 sugars in our coffee we’re looking at a total of 80 calories per coffee so we have to start looking at how we drink coffee during the day.
What did I eat for breakfast?
I wanted to remain consistent with what I was eating so again today I eat 2 sugar free yogurts and added half a cup of fresh cut strawberries. I also enjoyed a banana as well.
What’s on the menu for lunch?
Today’s lunch is the same as yesterdays. I have a salad with a whole tomato, half a cucumber and cut some broccoli heads onto it. I also added three fat free meats from lily dale to the top of my salad. It’s very important we get protein as well as fruits and vegetables. I should also mention the salad dressing I use is made with olive oil and is extremely healthy compared to the other kinds. You should avoid any cream based dressing and don’t use more then a table spoon.
I will take a picture of my full days meal for you soon I promise!
I also have 2 cups of mixed grapes and grapefruit for the fruit portion of my lunch.
That’s about it until dinner time!
