Breakfast: I made a Steak & Egg Bowl. I sauteed a few Mushrooms, chopped up one slice of Boar's Head Low Sodium Roast Beef and tossed that in a splash of Worcestershire Sauce, that went on top of a scrambled egg and a sprinkle off cheese topped it all. A protein packed start to the day.
Lunch: Carrots, Cucumbers and Greek Yogurt with a sprinkle of Greek Seasoning.
Dinner: I had a gift card to Rubio's floating around my purse for awhile so I decided to use it for dinner. Those of you on the west coast (locations in CA, AZ, NV, UT and CO, it's a San Diego original) know Rubio's, those that don't it's a fast casual Mexican restaurant famous for it's fish tacos. I ordered their Balsamic and Roasted Veggies Salad. It normally comes with Grilled Chicken but I subbed Grilled Tilapia (they also have Grilled Shrimp, Salmon, or Mahi Mahi) and asked for the dressing on the side. I used a little but I prefer a squeeze of lime and some of their chipotle salsa. I split this with my Mum and it was plenty for both of us. So good. I love when restaurant menus are available online because I can plan out the changes I want to make to a dish to make them healthier choices. Here are some other tips that have helped me when eating out post weight loss surgery.
Snacks: Lots of coffee and a bowl of Butter Pecan Protein Ice Cream. One of my favorites.
It was a delicious day. More days in my pouch.
