April 1, 2012:

What went in my belly today:

- Protein smoothie made with one scoop vanilla "Designer" whey protein powder, one tablespoon of flax, one cup of unsweetened coconut milk, a little bit of frozen mango and blueberries (~19 grams protein, approx. 290 calories)

- Protein smoothie with one packet of strawberry "Chike" protein powder, one tablespoon of flax, water, ice cubes, five frozen strawberries (~29 g protein, ~270 calories)

- three hush puppies, leftover from yesterday's catfish dinner (yum)

- 1/2 size BLT Cobb salad from Wendy's (~23 g protein, 340 calories)

- a Cadbury egg

- water to drink (surprisingly, no coffee today!)


The Cadbury egg was a consolation prize; I literally went to 10 different stores tonight in search of my favorite no sugar added rice pudding (Reynaldo's - 160 calories for a nice 8oz cup). This stuff is CRACK, but I cannot find it anywhere anymore. I finally found one store, but they only had three left. I'm saving them for weeknights, so settled for a Cadbury egg instead.

I think I need to find a reliably good "healthy" rice pudding recipe to try. I'm just so damn picky about rice pudding; I fear I'd waste quite a bit before finding a recipe to keep. Hm.
