Food Log

This food log was kind of an eye opener for me; I actually kept a food log for 5 days but will post only the last three, up until now. I guess it never really occurred to me how often I eat out (or how often I drink diet coke! holy cow), and how erratic my food schedule is; with a school schedule that changes from day to day, and a work schedule that changes even more, it's difficult for me to really be able to sit down and make my own meals. Not to mention that whenever I do eat out, it's with my boyfriend and we usually share food. But, here it is, my food log from Friday 3/5 to today, Sunday 3/7.

Friday:

Breakfast: 11 am. Ate out at the Good Day Cafe in Golden Valley; had the 49ers (three extremely thin, but extremely large Finnish-style pancakes) and a glass of milk.

Lunch: No lunch. No time. No hunger either, really.

Dinner: 6:30 p.m. Had Papa Murphy's. I was at work (and I work as a personal care assistant, so I work within other people's houses rather than at a main building) and the mother of the child I was working for sent the two of us out to grab an easy dinner. I had 2 slices of a pepperoni/italian sausage pizza, and 4 small pieces of their cinnamon dessert pizza. Drink: diet coke.

Saturday:

"Breakfast": (I put quotations around breakfast because I actually ate it at around 12pm) Raisin Bran cereal with yogurt. Bottled water.

Lunch: I was working again, and wasn't really hungry, and they didn't make any meals so I had nothing.

Dinner: 7:00 p.m. My mother and step-father treated me and my boyfriend to Khan's Mongolian Grill. I had their appetizer (one chicken wing, miso soup and a cracker with sweet&sour sauce), 1/4 cup of cooked white rice, 2 pieces of their sweet bread with a sugary filling, and for my main dish, I put together a combination of chicken, crab, calamari, bean sprouts, carrots, potatoes, noodles, house sauce, garlic sauce and cooking wine, which they threw on their "mongolian grill" and cooked in about 2 minutes. Drink: diet coke. Boy, was I hurting after this meal, but it was delicious.

Sunday:

Breakfast: woke up too late for breakfast.

Lunch: 1:00 p.m. I finally had the chance to make a home cooked meal, one that I'm especially fond of: real Finnish pancakes, which are made up of four eggs, 1/2 c. flour, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp salt, and 2 c. milk. They come out thin and almost like a sweet omlette with no extra fillings. I had maybe two or three 3''x3'' square servings. Drink: milk.

Dinner: 8:00 p.m. Boyfriend and I shared a little Caesar's pepperoni pizza and some crazy bread because we had just finished walking around lake Calhoun and were both pretty hungry. I had 3 slices of pizza and 2 crazy bread. Drink: diet coke.
