Healthy Day 2

Breakfast

Smoothie from yesterday- approx 250 cal

Crackers- ??

1 chocolate- 73 cal

So after class, I thought that I'd need some caffeine since I didn't sleep very much. While I did that, I bought a salad in case my avocado wasn't ripe. I went home and then barely touched my coffee and salad. Instead, I checked my avocado and made an avocado, apple, lime, and soymilk shake instead. Immediately after drinking it, I felt a huge boost of energy and started craving more natural foods. So I cut up half a cucumber and am now snacking on it.

I was somewhat disappointed in the smoothie for lunch. I wanted to know exactly how much soymilk I added, so I measured out and added one cup. As a result, the soymilk taste overpowered the avocado, which was really what I was trying to emphasize. So I added in the banana for sweetness and orange for tartness, but it ended up like a typical banana smoothie. Good, but not what I was aiming for. If I wanted a banana smoothie, I'd just add banana with soymilk and greens…

I actually bought a salad for lunch, like I mentioned before, from the undergraduate library's new café, but the chicken was undercooked and the greens were unappetizing. So I ate like two bites and then gave up. It was so expensive, too—over six dollars! For a tiny salad. The last time I went to the café, I bought a "vegetarian wrap" that was all dressing and there were only three small green leaves on the side. It was pathetic.

Dinner

1 cup soymilk- 100 cal

Biscotti- 130 cal

Salad

Fruit

No time for exercising today, but I ate what I craved for, which was mainly avocado and greens, and felt good. And I didn't overeat at the meeting, which was good, and I feel perfectly fine right now.
