What Lindsay Eats

**Unless otherwise noted I drink water from a reusable water bottle to quench my thirst throughout the day and at meal times.

7:15am: Brother’s All Natural Fruit & Oats
(It fits into my healthy eating plan and it is convenient to make in the morning when I am crunched for time.)

9:45am: Small Café Mocha from Java City in Blegen Hall - $3.44
(I have recently decided I like coffee. I pass this place on my way to catch the bus to work and thought I could use a mid-morning coffee break.)

12:15pm: Greek salad and Stacy’s Pita Chips
(When I work I have access to a fridge during the day so I bring something healthy from home like a salad that can be kept cold. The pita chips add a nice crunch.)

5:30pm: Smart Ones Beef & Asian Style Vegetables and a Granny Smith apple with peanut butter
(I knew I would be at school all day so I had to bring something that would stay edible and that I could pop into the microwave in the student lounge. The apple is a good way to add fruit to my diet.)

7:15am: Chocolate Cherrios with a sliced banana and 1% milk
(A quick, low calorie and delicious breakfast since I don’t have much time but still want to be healthy.)

10:45am: Cherry Lifesaver
(Hunger started to set in and I needed something to hold me over until lunch since I was still sitting in class.)

11:30am: Smart Ones Santa Fe Rice & Beans and one cup of red grapes
(T/Th I don’t have much time for lunch so I know to bring something I can pop in the microwave and enjoy in less than 20 minutes. In addition, the frozen entrée is portion controlled and just the right amount of calories.)

3:00pm: ¼ cup peanuts
(Snack time. Easy to pack and bring in my backpack for the day.)

7:00pm: Five Tyson chicken nuggets and Annie’s Organic White Cheddar Macaroni & Cheese with a glass of 1% milk
(Since I knew my boyfriend was going to be over for dinner I needed to make something for two people and mac & cheese is perfect because I can never eat the whole box by myself. Chicken nuggets are just a logical complement.)

7:35pm: Reese’s miniature dark chocolate peanut butter cup
(A tasty dessert with just the right amount of calories.)

7:15am: Honey-nut Cheerios with sliced grapes and 1% milk
(A quick and nutritious breakfast.)

10:30am: Crystal Light On-the-go Raspberry Lemonade
(My stomach told me I was hungry but since it wasn’t lunch time I thought I might only be thirsty so I had something to drink instead.)

12:00pm: Greek salad and Stacy’s Pita Chips
(Again, I was at work so I could bring something that needed refrigeration. The salad helps me get all the vegetables I need and is also tasty.)

4:00pm: Orange
(I knew I wasn’t going to be able to wait to eat a late dinner with my boyfriend so I had a snack. The orange added fruit to my diet while still being low-cal.)

6:30pm: 2 eggs, 2 slices of bacon and breakfast potatoes
(My boyfriend was over again so I decided to use up the bacon that had been sitting in the fridge for awhile. He loves bacon and I didn’t want it to go bad. I added in the other ingredients to make breakfast for dinner.)

7:30pm: Starburst
(My sweet tooth was making me crave something sugary. They were lying around from earlier this week when I got them as a free giveaway.)
