Diet Diary and Food Stuff

I'm going to be horrible at this food diary thing, but let me try to cover today.

Reduced Fat Triscuits - One of the few processed items I allow myself, because they only use three ingredients: Wheat, Oil and Salt.  So, I'm down.  And, they're tasty and satisfy cravings for chips, which I get a lot.  I've had about a handful of these today.

Prunes - I LOVE PRUNES AND I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY.  Seriously, these are one of my diet secrets.  Total fiber overload, satisfies my sweet tooth, and fills me up quickly and for a long time.  I'll eat about 10-12 of these today.

Chicken - I'm making some chicken tenderloins right now to have in the fridge for quick snacking and meals.  I coat them, lightly, with ollive oil and then just give them some sea salt and black pepper.  I try to use olive oil for certain items, even when I don't necessarily have to, because I tend to forget to eat fat.  It's easy to do that and go all OMG VEGGIES, but then I feel like crap and realize that I've had little to no fat for days.  That's as bad as eating too much fat, so I like to use the olive oil just in case I forget to fit fat in somewhere else.

More Chicken - I also like to dump a large can of chicken in a bowl, add a few tablespoons of 2% Greek yogurt (Fage is the only brand you should ever be considering) and then spice it all up with Tapatio hot sauce, which I love because it reminds me of a kicked up worcestershire sauce.  It would be great as a chicken salad sandwich, but I'm not doing breads right now, so I just eat it out of the bowl.  I am a person who is kinda crazy about mayo, sour cream, and all things cream based, so the healthy yogurt is an awesome substitute for the less healthy other options.  One large can will last a few days after I've made the salad, and it's good to have in there to grab a bite or two of as a snack.  I've got an ulcer, and at the slightest hint of hunger, I get pretty serious pain.  Eating makes it better, immediately.  So, I know that I'm likely to grab something quickly, out of anguish, and I'd rather have this healthy thing waiting for me when I need to.

Broccoli/Cauliflower - Had 1 1/2 cups, lightly steamed, and again drizzled very lightly with olive oil for flavor.

I've had two cups of coffee in the past 24 hours, and I used random seasonal creamers.  Because, I don't fuck with my coffee.  I also drink diet soda (Caffeine Free Diet Coke) and I know I shouldn't, but I do.  Period.  I'm okay with that for now, but I'm looking to cut it out soon.

I'll probably have a handful of grapes or a pear later, but that's about it for today.  I honestly have no idea what kind of calories I worked with today, because it was a weird day, and I was up all night, and I just didn't feel like counting.  I just listened to my body.

And, tomorrow, I start the shakes again.  Been trying to hydrate all day, because I'm dehydrated, and the green concoction can really mess ya up if you're not hydrated.

But, like I've said, all it really comes down to is one question.  "Is this good for me?"  If the answer is no, don't buy it/eat it/order it/look at it.
