Lunch

So I just finished cooking up a storm. I prepared a few different meals for the day and weekend. I had 2 chicken breast sitting out so I baked them with 1 T of olive oil, fresh garlic and pepper. They were about 7 oz each which is roughly 200 calories each (according to the nutrition label on the package). I cooked up about 2 cups rice pasta which is about 400 calories (1 cup is a serving portion). I then sautéed garlic, onion, mushrooms and spinach in about 1 T of olive oil, added a can of spicy diced tomatoes (as I’m writing this I just realized I’m suppose to stay away from spicy food for the next few days…dang!). I then cut up one of the chicken breast and added it to the mixture. There was enough for 3 servings. So with the pasta and sauce, each serving came out to about 300 calories (roughly…I am always trying to stay under 500 for lunch and dinner so that is why I say roughly when I am under =) You can add a little parmesan cheese to the top as well.

I’m not suppose to have spicy foods or wheat right now because I am doing a series of colonics (TMI?!). Its part of the cleanse that we did with our program, but I was sick and didn’t get them in. I went for my first yesterday. A little uncomfortable… I will write about colonics later when I am finished with this series and can give more insight to what I am learning about them.

I forgot to mention that I made another dish with the other chicken breast (or actually only used half and saved the other half for later). I had a cup of brown rice in the refrigerator so I cut up about 10 grape tomatoes, steamed 1 cup of broccoli and added these to the rice, cut up the other half of chicken and toped it off with 2 T of sliced almonds. This will probably be my lunch tomorrow. I’m guessing this is about 325 calories (again less than 500 cal for my lunch =)
