Smoothie Day 4- supplies replenished!

Breakfast

Watercress, spinach, orange, and lime smoothie- 257 cal, 19 g fiber

Not the best smoothie. I only had the ingredients that went into the smoothie left in my stock of vegetables and fruits. The watercress was quite spicy. The insane amount of Vitamin C is calming down my throat, though (I have a sore throat). I'm not done drinking it yet. It made more than my usual 1000 mL, so I've had around 500 mL with 700 to go. It's in the fridge for my workout.

Egg- 70 cal

Almonds- 210 cal, 4 g fiber

Lunch

½ Italian salad at NYPD, no dressing

It was yummy. I didn't think that I would like the olives so well.

I'm not craving anything except water.

1 yogurt drink- 40 cal

Milk with chocolate powder- 120 cal

Dinner

Pear, mint, and collard smoothie- 283 cal, 22 g fiber

Amazing! I threw out the morning's smoothie (which was terrible) in favor of this one.

1 small brownie- around 130 cal

I went to a college meeting, and was encouraged to eat. So out of curiosity, I let myself eat what I usually eat (which is the reason why I gained weight), and I felt horrible afterwards. I felt fine at lunch after eating a small salad, so I'm finding out that eating less is actually better for me. It's more the quality of the nutrition I'm getting. If I get enough nutrition, I don't necessarily have to eat as many calories… depending on what my body feels like.
