Breakfast

This morning, after my much needed cup of coffee (I was up way too late stuyding Biochem), I had a cup of Kashi honey toasted oats cereal with 3/4 cup skim milk and an 8 ounce glass of OJ. A little later in the morning, at work, I had a mixed berry Nutrigrain bar. These were also on sale this week, so I grabbed a box. They don't have nearly as much fiber as the Fiber One bars, but they are pretty good and make a great mid-morning snack!

Grains: 1 1/2 oz whole (cereal and Nurtigrain bar)

Fruits: 1 cup (OJ)

Vegetables: 0

Milk: 3/4 cup (skim milk)

Dinner-leftovers
I had a left over vegetarian enchilada from last night, with some extra salsa and reduced fat cheddar cheese on top, 1 1/2 cups of steamed broccoli & baby carrots with a teaspoon of Smart Balance Light, and a cup of canned fruit cocktail (in pear juice).
I got finished with everything I promised myself I would do today...and I will do no more tonight. My brain is filled with all the Biochem it can handle for one evening. Goodnight!
