The first Meal Log

Day one wasn't so bad.  I don't have my snacks shown, so I'll tell you what they were and try to do better in the future.  My early day snack was a small handful of dry roasted peanuts along with an equal portion of craisins. I'd say about 2 tbl of each.  My late snack was more substantial.  I realized I was only at 1000 calories for the entire day, so I had a cheese sandwich on whole wheat, plus 4 (count 'em) sour cream and chive potato chips.  I also had a few peanut butter balls. (although mine have some oats in them for extra fiber) So this is a very incomplete vision of day one.
 With that said, here we go:
 Lunch was cucumbers filled with tuna salad. I used less mayo and added some lemon juice to add flavor and reduce the fat.  I also used a little low fat mozzarella cheese.  I cut a tomato down the center and stuffed it with cottage cheese.  A little seasoning salt on top.  Then I chose to add 5 saltines, because the carbs do help fill me up.
Dinner was 1/2 a chicken breast, a salad with all the veggies I could find and a slice of watermelon.  Watermelon isn't always the best choice for those watching sugar levels, but since I skipped a starch in the meal I figured it was fine.

So that was day one.  Exciting stuff, huh?
