Day #5

Breakfast: Old-Fashioned Oatmeal
2/3 cup slow-cooking (steel-cut) oatmeal
cook as directed
mix with
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 Tbs. almonds, slivered
sprinkling of nutmeg
sprinkling of cinnamon
eat on the side
1/4 cup of low-fat cottage cheese
6 turkey bacon strips (this feels like a lot) (3 strips = 1 block)

Lunch:
Taco Salad ( I have a school luncheon today and this is what is said to be on the menu-this is how I'm gonna make it work)
3 oz. ground beef
1 oz. cheese
1 cup tomato
1 1/2 cup lettuce (not really a block)
2 Tbs salsa
1 Tbs sour cream
2 tbs guacamole

I think I am off just a bit but I won't have a measuring cup and scale with me so I will be eyeballing it so I am sure it will work out

Dinner: (It's my husby and my 3 year anniversary- we are going away this weekend so I am just gonna make dinner tonight)
Broiled Salmon
6 oz salmon steak, about 1 inch thick
Marinade
1 Tbs low sodium soy sauce
3 garlic cloves minced
2 tsp chives

Preheat broiler and brush salmon with 1 1/3 tsp olive oil place in aluminum foil and broil for 4-5 min per side

Serve with 12 spears asparagus ( I like to spread mine out on a jelly roll sheet and sprinkle with 2 Tsp olive oil and 2tsp low-sodium soy sauce and 4 oz of red wine :)

For Desert:
1/4 cup of frozen yogurt Ice cream (this is an unfavorable carb-but in moderation it is something that is okay for special occasions-and no making it through the day is not a special occasion!)

Snack:
1/2 zone bar

1/4 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup pineapple
6 peanuts
