Food Journal

Thursday

9:00 am Breakfast:

• 2 eggs (half whites/half yolks) + some cheddar cheese
  
• 1 piece of whole wheat toast w/ skippy natural peanut butter and target-brand honey
  
• 1 cup of alterra's breakfast blend coffee
  

Where: Boyfriend's house

Why: I need to eat right when I get up otherwise I'm a super crabby morning person, Conor offered to make eggs and they sounded yummy. I try to get some protein in with my breakfast, so eggs were a good choice. I also enjoy a cup of coffee if I have time to make it, and Alterra brand is my absolute favorite.

2:30 pm Lunch:

• 1 cup pasta shells with Prego tomato basil garlic sauce
  
• 1 glass of water
  

Where: My house

Why: I had a late breakfast so I ate a little later than usual. All of my food is at my boyfriend's house, so all I had at home was some pasta supplies. Also, pasta is usually my last resort when I don't have anything else I want to eat.

9:00 pm Dinner:

• 2 slices Target-brand pepperoni pizza
  
• 1 bottle Coors light
  

Where: Boyfriend's house

Why: A super gross dinner I know, but it sounded AMAZING at the time, and it was. Frozen pizza is a great lazy-college-dinner fix and goes great with some beer.

Friday

9:00 am Breakfast:

• 1 multi-grain bagel with skippy natural peanut butter and target-brand honey
  
• 1 cup alterra breakfast blend coffee
  
• 1 Clementine
  

Where: Boyfriend's house

Why: I have bagels pretty much everyday unless Conor offers to make eggs. Again trying to get that little bit of protein in there with the peanut butter, and then some fruit with a Clementine.

1:00 pm Lunch:

• 1 ham and cheddar cheese sandwich on whole-wheat bun with some mustard
  
• 1 handful of Lays Salt and Vinager potato chips
  
• 1 glass Crystal light iced tea
  

Where: My house

Why: I packed a lunch for the day at Conor's, I usually never have lunch meat or cheese so this was a great lunch for me. The potato chips I picked up on my way home from class at Joe's Market, I wanted a little something extra to go with my little sandwich. I am a HUGE ice tea addict and have a million of those little mixer packets.

6:00 pm Dinner:

• 2 pieces of cheesy bread (leaning tower)
  
• 4 dynosomethings, they had cheesy middles with little chili peppers inside that you dipped in ranch (leaning tower)
  

Where: Leaning Tower restaurant

Why: Conor's roommate and his girlfriend asked us to go to $4 appetizers and we did.

Saturday

10:00 am Breakfast:

• 1 whole-grain bagel with skippy natural peanut butter and target-brand honey
  
• 1 glass Silk vanilla soymilk
  

Where: Boyfriend's house

Why: Last night's dinner did not sit well and I had MAJOR heartburn all night, so I opted out of my morning coffee and had some good ol' soy milk.

3:00 pm Lunch:

• 1 chicken salad sandwich with tomatoes, bacon and spinach
  
• Fries
  
• 1 pickle slice
  

Where: Granite City Bar and Grill

Why: My boyfriend and I had to go to Rosedale so that I could return a pair of jeans, and so that he could help his mom's coworker pick out a computer at the apple store. Afterwards, we were starving so we decided to have a nice lunch at Granite City.

NO Dinner but a Late-night snack:

• Popcorn
  

Where: Boyfriend's house

Why: We were way too full from lunch still, and were not hungry until late at night so we had some popcorn and that was it.
