I’ve been hitting the food posts pretty hard here recently. Cool by me, there’s been all sorts of fun stuff I’ve been learning and getting in to.
I’ll break this down in to 3 different and fun parts. (have fun… I command you) ((I wish I had a hypnotoad, that would make life great! Well, then I would need to go in to the tangent of us actually getting what we want all the time is not good for us, and since this is a fitness/exercise/nutrition/some other stuff blog, it’s just not the time or space)) (((gosh, if I ever get married dont you feel bad for my future wife trying to keep up with my rampant track of mind jumping?)))
My surprise of the day
I love me some Chipotle. No doubt about that one at all. I’ve argued the fact that it is good for you. I applaud the efforts they make to use organic food, and on top of that, it’s just freaking good. But I do have to admit, while really tightening down I’ve cut Chipotle out. I would typically get-
- Chicken
- Rice
- Black beans
- Corn salsa
- Sour Cream
- and Cheese
in a burrito. This came up to close to 1000 calories. I had thought about leaving some stuff out before, but the idea just seemed bad, cause it was soooo yummy! Well, today someone offered to buy me lunch at Chipotle. Sooooo, yep, I did it! But this is what I got… in a bowl, no tortilla
- Chicken
- Rice
- Black Beans
- Corn Salsa
It came up to 520 calories, which was great! Also, very high in fiber and protein, but still low in fat. When I bit in, it was a HUGE surprise!
I actually liked the taste better! Without everything being covered with sour cream, I could taste everything together. Everything seemed to have more taste to it. I wasnt losing anything by not putting cheese and sour cream on, I was actually gaining taste! The only thing I was losing was fat and calories.
Next!
What to eat
Figs!! I’m typically not a fan of dried fruit. I would say to stay away from it, but wow, I ran across some at the store and decided to buy them. The label is great! High fiber, good protein, no bad stuff. Well, they do have quite a bit of sugar (makes them taste almost like candy!), which is why I say to stay away from dried fruit. But if you stick to the serving suggestion for a snack… go for it! Plus it will help to satisfy a little bit of sweet in your day.
They look different, but give them a try!
and lastly…
What not to eat (or drink)
I realize this is a gimic by a manufacturer… but… no! Dont get it, dont drink it, bad, stay away. I will hunt you down (if you ever stop running around long enough). This is not something you want to drink or to make part of a healthy lifestyle….
Ok, that’s it for today.
