Happy Wednesday! Just so you know, I’m still making some pitiful attempt at the LiveFit program. I can’t follow the meal plan exactly. It calls for a “dinner” type of meal at 3:30ish, and I simply can’t prep and carry that much food to work with me. Plus, I’d still have to cook Kevin a warm meal at 7:00 while fixing myself a low-carb mini-meal. I’m at least trying to limit evening carbs though, so hopefully that will at help.
Here are the eats from Tuesday…
Snack 1 (Pre-Gym): rice cake with 1 TBS peeb (peeb -> pb -> peanut butter)
Breakfast (Post-Gym): protein oats with chia seeds and berry/cherry mix
Snack 2: grapefruit and 8 almonds
Lunch: curry tuna salad (tuna, Greek yogurt, curry powder, cabbage, celery) over 1 serving red quinoa and a few snap peas on the side
Snack 3: half cup of fat-free cottage cheese (2% is sooo much tastier) and quarter cup of blackberries
Dinner: field of greens, grilled chicken, bell pepper, broccoli, 1 TBS sunflower seeds, and TJ’s hummus dressing
Dessert: Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Lover’s Chocolate Bar (2 squares) + EAS chocolate protein shake
I think that totals approximately 1420 calories (132 g protein). I was full, got protein, and ate my veggies. What else could a girl want? Oh yeah… chocolate, I got that too! As always, head over to Peas & Crayons to see the other blogger eats and recipes!
- Favorite berry? (Blackberries for me!)
- Favorite salad dressing? (TJ’s goddess dressing takes the cake… er, the salad.)

Don’t feel bad about not following the meal plan girl! You’ve got to do what works for you!
I’m the same way as you though – I’d much rather have a snack followed by a real dinner rather than 2 mini meals. There’s something so satisfying about digging into a big dinner at the end of a day.
My favourite berries are blueberries. I always have to have some in my fridge!

I’ve never had TJ’s goddess dressing? I usually stick to their fat free balsamic. It is hands down my favorite balsamic dressing around.

That dinner looks great! And my favorite berry is a blackberry too, I can’t wait for them to come in season more now that summer is coming!!
Hope you have a great one girl!

Me too! Strawberry/blackberry season is a fantastic time of year.

I don’t follow the meal plan completely to a T. I’m usually at school when is calls for the dinner type of meal, so I usually just have a salad at night with no carbs! Same thing

The timing is so crazy for me! I bet a lot of people have that problem.

Blackberries and raspberries are my favs
I haven’t tired that dressing but I might get it. I like their balsamic vinaigrette.

I love raspberries!

Holy cow that curry tuna looks great! Also, I love the peeb abbrev!

That salad looks sooo yummy. I love your blogs name

I love those EAS drinks! They are awesome blended into a shake with spinach and a banana too.

Blackberries are my fav, too! I remember picking them in the wild when I was little. I just hate how the seeds get stuck in my molars!

The cabbage dish looks delicious.
April 25, 2012 at 1:05 pm
i sure hope we get a TJs soon here! i am missing out on that dressing!

Where did you find your curry tuna recipe? Or can you share it with us? I’ve been adding tuna to my diet because it is so high in protein, but am looking for a new way to eat it
April 25, 2012 at 8:09 pm
I saw a similar tuna recipe, so I decided to whip up something of my own. It’s about a quarter of a cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 medium can tuna, 1-2 tsp yellow curry (I like curry, so 2 tsp), and chopped veggies of choice. I happened to have cabbage and celery on-hand at home. I hope you like it!

I’m a strawberry girl. And I’m pretty basic for dressing. Love to use salsa more than anything or just plain balsamic vinegar.
April 26, 2012 at 11:04 am
I don’t think I go a day without chocolate!

Seeing as how I live in Florida, strawberries are my favorite. They’ve been really good this year!
I like plain ole olive oil and vinegar with a little Adobe seasoning thrown in. Sounds strange, but it’s good, I swear!
