Day 42

Meal #1 8am
two eggs
vegetables
4 slices of bacon
orange juice



Comments:
It's getting easier to eat more food at one meal. It's an interesting change.

I woke up at 7am and was actually really really hungry by the time I started making food at 7:30am.

Meal #2 12:30pm
burger with steamed carrots
salad with two slices bacon (no eggs)



Comments:
I just walked for an hour and a half. I'm definitely hungry now. I'm trying to consciously eat more. We'll see how much I eat/how full I get with this.

eta:
I ate all of it no problem and even wanted a snack within an hour or so of finishing.

Snack #1 2pm
Sticky Sticks



Meal #3 6:15pm
"breaded" scallops*
steamed cauliflower and carrots
tiny side of dijon mustard

I was looking for a good from scratch recipe for artichokes and came across this amazing sounding recipe for breaded scallops instead. I intended to get fresh sea scallops for dinner, but the store didn't have any. I managed a bag of frozen ones and searched for the "farm raised" warning so that I didn't get those. After I got home though, as I was throwing the packaging away, I saw the teeny tiny warning on a super hidden part of the label. Blah. Despite being adamantly against farm raised fish, I ate it any way. I won't get them again though.

The breaded scallops were amazing and the easiest thing in the world to make. Had I not had a salad this afternoon, I would have eaten them in a salad instead. As long as I can find them wild caught, I will definitely be eating these on a regular basis.

Snack #2 7pm
apple with almond butter
one square of green & blacks



Comments:
I'm still pretty full from dinner, but I wanted something else. The scallops were kind of heavy because of the oil and "breading". I wanted something a little lighter.

Meal #4 12:45am
Muenster slices
avocado and red pepper slices
banana dipped in fine coconut



Comments:
Had it been any other night, I would have either been in bed long before now or I would have caught a snack earlier than this. No big deal. I contemplated just going to bed, but I have a headache so I thought food was in order. I'll down an extra bottle of water. Hopefully that'll help.

Oh, also I would have eaten some real protein instead of cheese, but this was my fastest option. I need to hard boil some more eggs tomorrow, as long as I can get more on Thursday.
