What I Ate: Tuesday 3/18

Happy Thursday! Today, I’m sharing everything I ate on Tuesday because I actually remembered to take photos of everything I ate that day.

My daughters were home from school and so I had some extra time that morning to make bacon, eggs and toast for breakfast.

Breakfast: 254 calories

We had one of Laney’s friends and her mom over for lunch and a playdate on Tuesday, so we kept the meal kid-friendly with mac-n-cheese and chicken tenders.

Lunch: 333 calories

After the play date, we needed to go into town to visit the optometrist office to get Piper’s lenses swapped out in her glasses. It’s about mid-way through the year when we like to take advantage of the free lens replacement. Piper said everything looked so much more clear afterward. That was nice to hear!

We stopped by Tim Horton’s while we were out and got ourselves an afternoon snack. The girls each got two Timbits and I got myself a medium vanilla cream cold brew with cold foam.

Afternoon Snack: 410 calories

For dinner, we had chicken sausage links with leftover mac, cottage cheese and some raw bell peppers. This meal was super filling, and decent on calories and macro balance.

Dinner: 359 calories

Evening Snack: 160 calories premier protein shake + 140 calories (2) Tagalong cookies

Tuesday’s total: 1,656 calories

I stayed within calories on Tuesday and felt satisfied! I also got in a full gallon of water! I haven’t had my own water bottle for quite some time now. So, I bought myself a new $4 water bottle from Walmart the other day and I love it!

Water Intake: 120 ounces 

I believe my new water bottle is giving me more incentive to drink water more often. Sometimes it’s the little things that help the most!
