On the 21 Day Kickstart you're not really supposed to track your food but I did anyway, mostly because I keep hearing from people "be sure you get enough protein!" Protein for yesterday was a little low at 58 grams but oh boy, did I get my fiber. 42 grams of it. Given how much of my life I have not gotten nearly enough fiber, I find this pretty funny. Relying on beans totally changes the overall nutrition picture.
Awesome food discoveries so far:
- Plain blueberries and strawberries are amazing at this time of year. I usually would have 1/4 c blueberries with some cottage cheese for breakfast but this week I'm just having the berries, and they are delicious. I do insist on organic berries, but at this time of year they're fairly reasonably priced and all things considered I think I can have as many berries as I want.
- I had a bottle of fancy blood-orange infused olive oil that I am using for my salads with some balsamic vinegar, after I realized my favorite Newman's Own dressing contains feta cheese. I have a new favorite dressing, and I like that it's a step closer to whole food.
- Kashi GoLean Crunch is vegan, so if I'm worried about my fiber, I can always... oh, wait.
Tomorrow I really need to have something for lunch that is NOT chickpeas and salad, though.
Breakfast: Homemade almond milk and Metagenics UltraMeal
AM Snack: Blueberries and strawberries
Lunch: Spinach/romaine salad, EVOO/balsamic, chickpeas
PM Snack: Seedless black grapes
Dinner: TBD, leftover bb&r or maybe Chipotle veggie burrito
