Lunch
It's official: I am stressed out about school. I have two tests next week, plus projects to work on that are going to be due before I know it. Please forgive me in advance for the shortness of my upcoming posts.
For lunch, I had a Boca burger with a slice of fat free American cheese on a whole wheat bun, with an ounce of baked chips on the side and, of course, ketchup for dipping!

A 6 oz cup of fat free vanilla yogurt, mixed with 1/4 cup of Archer Farms dried mixed fruit (mostly berries-I picked them out of the bag!).

Dinner
I was expecting to have pizza tonight (Matt was going to bring one home from work), but instead he decided to get Thai food...no complaints there! I love Thai food! We always get the spicy noodles with tofu and chicken satay with peanut sauce and share both entrees. My portion was 1 1/2 cups of noodles with about 1 1/2 cups of veggies (including the tofu), plus two chicken skewers with a tablespoon of peanut sauce. So yummy! If you live in STL, you must try Tei Too in Webster Groves!

All together, this meal provided:
Grains: 1 1/2 oz (noodles)
Fruits: 0
Vegetables: 1 1/2 cups (vegetables)
Milk: 0
Meats & beans: 3 oz. (chicken)
Oils: 3 teaspoons (1 from peanut sauce, and 2 estimated-I assume the tofu and veggies were fried)

The cost of this meal (if I had prepared it at home) was approximately: $3.63
