Day #12

Breakfast:
Yogurt and Fruit
Mix together;
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
4 tsp slivered almonds
1 1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
On the side eat 3 turkey bacon strips

Lunch:
BLT Sandwich
1 slice bread
1 ounce (3 strips) turkey bacon
3 lettuce leaves
2 tomato slices
2 oz. low-fat cheese
1 tsp. light mayonnaise

On the side: 1/2 orange
12 peanuts.

Dinner-It's cold here and Joe requested some good old
Homemade Egg Noodle Chicken soup-(has family recipe) I'm gonna see how close to zone I can get.
1/2 cup cooked pasta (2 blocks carbs)
3 oz boiled chicken (3 blocks protein)
1/2 cooked peas (1 block carb) mixed with 4 tbs sliced almonds (if eaten on side)

Cook chicken and pasta together for about 1 hour in chicken broth and 2 chicken bullion cubes. Add in peas or eat on the side. I am going to make the noodles from scratch...but the recipe is long. If you are interested in it message me and I will put it up. If I wasn't going for this recipe, I would take away the pasta (or at least 1/4 cup) and throw in 1 cup celery and 1/2 cup chopped carrots.

Snack:
1/2 zone bar

1 oz cheese
6 peanuts

Tonight we are celebrating a b-day so I will probably have a small slice of b-day cake. (the book says 1/3 is 1 carb block-I wish it meant 1/3 the cake but I think it means more like 1/3 cup) (I might sub my slice of bread at lunch as well for a little bit bigger cake or another carb if I need it at snack)
