Back to Blogging - Food Recap, Dec. 19th

Friday, December 19, 2008

Sorry for the couple day hiatus, I was in a mad rush to get done with my finals, and now I am, yay! So I can start again with posting my food every day, some recipes, workouts, etc.!

Here's what I had today (I think I am gonna try to start adding in more pictures and links for food, it makes it fun I think):

Breakfast: Terra Sweet Potato Chips - 3 points

I couldn't get any food before getting on my flight b/c I had to immediately get in the hour-and-a-half security line, so I ate what they had on the plan, which was Terra Sweet Potato chips - a very odd breakfast choice, but SO good, a great healthier alternative to the amazingly yummy sweet potato fries I love so much!

Lunch: Subway Veggie Sandwich - 8 points

I went to the only fast food place that truly is delicious AND nutritious - Subway, yum! I had a veggie sandwich with swiss cheese (I also add the chipotle sauce, which probably isn't super healthy (it adds 3 points), but the veggie is so low in points to start that I don't feel bad)

Dinner: Weight Watchers Nachos - 7 points

I finally have a recipe to share, yay! This one is really simple too and has very few ingredients - it's very simple and can be altered pretty easily if you don't like some of the WW toppings, or if you want to add some (like chiles or black olives) - this particular one is "Nachos Grande" but WW has other versions too.

Recipe (makes 4 servings, each serving has 7 points):

4 oz baked low-fat tortilla chips (I buy baked Tostitos scoops)

9 oz. fat free refried beans

1 cup shredded reduced fat Mexican-style cheese

1 cup salsa

1/2 cup guacamole (you can also do sour cream instead)

And basically all you do is get out a cookie sheet w/aluminum foil on it, spray it with cooking spray, then lay out the chips in a single layer & top with everything but the guacamole or sour cream. Heat at 350 degrees until the cheese melts, about 10 minutes, and top with the guacamole or sour cream. It's delicious!

Snacks

Pirate's Booty, 1 oz package - 3 points (you already know how much I love Smart Puffs, and these are from the same company, it's so good, and a lot of food for 130 calories). If you've never seen these, it's probably because they aren't in the regular chip aisle, they are in the organic foods section - http://www.robscape.com/files/prod-pirate-booty.php.
