Hey everyone! Happy Wednesday! We’ve all made it halfway through the week đ I thought since I haven’t done it in a while, I would do another Weekly What I Ate. Again, one of my favourite bloggers, Anna Saccone, does them and I love watching them. So here we go! This is what I ate in a day when I was at home studying and doing work:
For breakfast I first had my Tim Hortons steeped tea (with the Keurig k-cups– mandatory for me in the morning!) I add a lot of skim milk and about a teaspoon of sugar. Next, I had a piece of multigrain bread with some peanut butter (for some reason I prefer the bread not toasted), and a cut up kiwi. I buy the kiwi in pre-made packages at Longo’s, which is very convenient. They make ones with all kinds of fruit and vegetables. This one had about two whole kiwis in it.
For a snack I had two of these Activia 0% yogurts. They’re really yummy and I love the peach and raspberry flavours. The only thing with these is to watch the fat content. If you’re watching your fat intake, make sure they say 0%. If not, especially in greek yogurts, the higher percentages start to contain a lot of fat.
For lunch I had this yummy quesadilla. I essentially just looked at what I had in the fridge and threw something together. So, in this one, I had shredded cheese, some chicken, and some lettuce in a whole wheat tortilla (the PC Blue Menu ones). I let the tortilla heat up in the pan and some of the cheese melt, and then I flipped over half of it until it was golden brown on both sides. I then had this with some salsa (mild of course– spice and me do not agree!) and a big glass of water. It was very filling and delicious!
For a snack I was treated to a Starbucks by my dad đ I always get a grande, nonfat, half-sweet caramel macchiato. I know, I’m one of those snobs at Starbucks who has the super long drink order đ But it’s worth it!!! The nonfat milk ensures that you’re not getting too much fat, and ordering half-sweet cuts down the sugar…so overall this drink isn’t toooo bad for you.
For dinner I had a very random mix of things. My family was having quesadillas, but as you now know I had that for lunch! So I didn’t want one. So what I did was take the chicken they were using and the filling they were using (the lettuce, cheese and caesar dressing) and ate them separately. We also has leftover mashed potatoes, so I has some of those as well. I also had a big glass of water (I’ve been trying to get my 8 cups in a day!!)
Finally, just before bed I has some herbal tea. I LOVE the camomile, honey and vanilla flavour. You can find it in a bunch of different brands and they all taste pretty much the same. I stumbled upon this Twining’s version and it’s really good. I find that drinking this before bed just calms me down and helps settle my body. If you’ve never tried drinking a herbal tea, you definitely should! There’s many other different flavours if you feel like you’re not into this one.
I hope all of you enjoyed reading this post! Leave a comment if you’d like to see more like this. xo A
