Yesterday, I did change up my food. I made a hummus wrap, and a veggie stir-fry in addition to my usual shake and oatmeal. The hummus wrap was pretty good, but the stir fry still needs some work. One of the items I bought at the Asian grocery is a bag of fava beans. I am rather excited since this 1lb bag of dry beans cost the same as one cooked can. I have the beans cooking on the stove after soaking last night, so I will have a report on their tastiness later today or tomorrow. I still don’t know exactly what I will do with them. So for now….I think I will plan on sneaking them into all sorts of things. Stir fry, wrap, …shake? Maybe not the shake, but everything else is fair game.
Veg Hummus Wrap (1 stuffed wrap)
1 Lite Flatout Wrap
100g Hummus (~100 cals)
50g Cucumber, peeled and diced
50g Carrots, shredded
60g Tomato
30g Spinach/Lettuce
The wrap was a bit stuffed and messy to eat, so I may try to not stuff it so much the next time, or I may fold it like a taco instead of rolling it up.The wrap without the feta is mine, as you probably deduced from the recipe. :-p
Overall, yesterday’s calories and nutrition looked pretty good. However, I did have some completely non-nutritious snack food from the Asian store that QB wanted. He opened the bag on the drive back home and that stuff was damn near addicting (despite the fact that it didn’t appear to contain anything like MSG or sugar). So, that was an extra 300 or so calories that was completely useless and nasty, but disturbingly tasty at the time.
I need to go into town to mail Amy’s book, so I am going to wrap up this here, and leave you with my CRON-O-Meter from yesterday. As of today, my “AC-Shake II” is down the hatch, and I will probably do the wrap thing when I get home. Oh, below the CRON-O-Meter, I left you with a couple of fava bean pictures for your moment of zen. Those beans just look cool.
