March 4th
Breakfast:
What: yogurt and granola, granny smith apple, milk
Where: dinning room (my house)
When: 7:00 a.m.
Why: I eat the same thing before my 8:00 a.m. class on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s. It’s a small meal but I’m only half awake this early and don’t feel like eating a lot. I’ve been told that apple’s make you feel more awake then coffee so I try to eat one every morning.
Lunch:
What: Mac and cheese, green grapes, Red Bull sugar free
Where: dinning room (my house)
When: 11:00 am lunch is always set out from 11a-1p
Why: I live in a sorority and we have a chief that makes us lunch and dinner. On Tuesday’s and Thursdays I usually eat whatever is put out for us. Also, I drank a Red Bull because I was feeling tired.
Dinner: Chop salad, roll with butter, milk
Where: dinning room (my house)
When: 5:00 p.m. dinner is always set out from 5p-6p
Why: That is what was on the menu for dinner and I was rushing from class to class so even though salad isn’t my favorite I wouldn’t have had time to make anything else.
March 5th
Breakfast:
Skipped because I was running late. I grabbed a large skim latte on my when into work because I was exhausted
Lunch:
What: Roast beef and cheddar cheese sandwich, a pickle, and a chi tea latte
Where: my office
When: 12:00 pm
Why: The office voted on where we wanted to get lunch and everyone choose Corner Coffee. I always get the same thing there; the roast beef sandwich is my favorite!
Dinner:
What: Chips and queso dip, a few too many vodka tonics
Where: Burrito Loco
When: 7:00 p.m.
Why: It was my boss’ birthday and she wanted to go out for drinks after work. She chose the location and we were all starving so we got an appetizer to split.
March 6th
Breakfast:
What: Raisin Bran Crunch, green apple, toast with butter, milk
Where: dinning room
When: 9:00 a.m.
Why: I had to work at 10:00 a.m. so I ate right before I left. I choose cereal because it was easy and I could eat it quickly.
Lunch:
Skipped because I was working and we didn’t have time to stop to pick something up
Dinner:
What: grilled cheese and tomato soup, milk
Where: dining room (my house)
When: 7:00 p.m. (we don’t have food made for us on the weekends so we can eat whenever)
Why: I was craving a grilled cheese sandwich all day and luckily my house just bought a pannini grill so it was easy to make myself one after work. My roommate suggested the tomato soup.
I thought your post showed the most consistency with what/and when you at your food. I think this was contributed to the fact that you're able to eat your meals at a certain time because someone else prepared them. Based on this food journal, you also seem to eat with people and eat are influenced with their choices. Given the other posts, this 'community' style eating seems to be lost due to the fast pace of American society.
ReplyDeleteI think it's really impressive that you consistently eat at home and prepare your meals! It's way more inexpensive to purchase groceries and then make your meals! I love to cook, but I just never want to cook only for myself. So it's good that you have others to cook with and/or for as well as enjoy your meals with. I also think it takes a lot of self discipline to be able to say "no" to delicious fast food or restaurant food even though it makes most of us fat and broke. It also seems as though you have a really good support system, whether it be with eating, school, or work and I feel that it is very important in order to be successful!
