BREAKFAST, 8:30 A.M.
Honey Nut Cheerios & light raspberry yogurt

















LUNCH, 11:00 A.M.
I'm not in the habit of bringing my phone to faculty meeting, so I didn't get a picture of my lunch.  Oops. Anyway, it was a cup of chili, 2 garlic breadsticks, and a small salad (really, just greens, sunflower seeds, and cherry tomatoes).


SNACK, 4:15 P.M.
Peanut butter sandwich.  I was ravenous, and the sandwich didn't do the trick, so I will admit it. I had a few spoonfuls of peanut butter after I finished the sandwich.



DINNER, 7:35 P.M.
Smoothie -- spinach, yogurt, and a variety of frozen fruit. I got home from work really late, and then I had to be at a social engagement at 8, so...I needed something really quick.

SNACK (DINNER #2?), 10:30 P.M.
The smoothie only held me over for a while.  I was hungry again by the time I got home, so I heated up a can of tomato soup. I made it with milk, not water.

BREAKFAST, 10:15 A.M.
Honey Nut Cheerios & light strawberry banana yogurt


















LUNCH, 2:10 P.M.
Leftover chili

SNACK, 4:40 P.M.

Blueberry granola bar

DINNER, 8:30 P.M.

2 tacos and Mexican rice. (NOTE: I began making dinner around 6:15.  Shortly after I started browning the meat, I realized that there was no lettuce in the house, and given the blizzard conditions, I wasn't about to go to the store to get some. I asked Jon to pick some up on his way home from work, so that delayed my dinner by about 2 hours. I confess that I ate 2 empty taco shells to tide me over, and an unphotographed individual-sized bag of Baked Cheetos an hour later, because I was pretty hungry.)

BEVERAGE, 11:00 P.M.
Raspberry hot chocolate with a shot of marshmallow vodka. Would have been better without the vodka. Live and learn.

BREAKFAST, 7:45 A.M.
Honey Nut Cheerios & light yogurt

SNACK, 10:50 A.M.

Goldfish Crackers

LUNCH, 1:00 P.M.

Not pictured: Cafeteria food -- fried shrimp, potato wedges, a little taste of some kind of cheesy casserole, and canned peaches.  (This wasn't my choice, but I had a lunch meeting with a colleague, and the meal was paid for...)

DINNER, 6:40 P.M.

Frozen alfredo.  Terrible, I know...but there was no time to cook.  I was grading midterms until after 10 p.m. 

SNACK, 11:00 P.M.

Cauliflower & queso dip.  It's a reward for eating veggies.

BREAKFAST, 7:45 A.M.

Honey Nut Cheerios & light strawberry yogurt

LUNCH, 11:45 P.M.

Not my finest day, food-wise.

BREAKFAST, 7:30 A.M.

Honey Nut Cheerios & light peach yogurt.

SNACK, 11:45 P.M.
A friend invited me to go to lunch with her at 1:00, but I was starving even before noon, so I had a snack to tide me over.









LUNCH, 1:10 P.M.
I ate the same bad-for-me lunch as I had yesterday.  I am a creature of habit.  I suck.













BEVERAGE, 6:30 P.M.
16 oz hot chocolate while grading papers at the Weather Center.  Yes, on a Friday night.  Yes, I am a gigantic loser.  (Actually, I'm just an overworked composition professor who teaches an insane 4-4 load. Or maybe that's a synonym for "loser.")

SNACK, 8:05 P.M.
By the time I got home from the coffee shop, it was pretty late so I decided just to eat a snack and wait to have dinner with Jon.  He'd called to say he wanted to order pizza, and I'm always game for pizza.  Anyway, I had Baked Cheetos as my snack.

DINNER, 9:15 P.M.
Two bread sticks and two slices of pizza -- only mushrooms on my half.  For whatever reason, I'm not a big fan of having meat on my pizza.

BREAKFAST, 8:10 A.M.

Blueberry filled donut with powdered sugar.  It wasn't very good, so I only ate about half.

SNACK, 10:05 A.M.

On account of the shitty breakfast, I was starving by mid-morning. 

LUNCH, 12:15 P.M.

I met some friends at the campus grill for lunch and had my usual -- grilled ham & cheese, fries, and Diet Pepsi.

BEVERAGE, 6:05 P.M.

I don't usually include beverages, because most of what I drink doesn't contain calories, but...orange juice does.  I'm drinking it today because I feel like I might be on the verge of getting sick.  I had a second glass later in the evening.

DINNER, 6:45 P.M.
Spaghetti with meat sauce and two slices of bread.

SNACK, 9:30 P.M.
Project Runway treats at Kelly's -- crab puff and cranberry wine.

SNACK, 11:20 P.M.

Baby carrots.  I wasn't hungry, but...it's hard to watch TV and not eat. A bad habit, indeed.

BREAKFAST, 7:30 A.M.
Honey Nut Cheerios (no milk) & light peach yogurt
















LUNCH, 12:10 P.M.
Ham & cheese sandwich on wheat bread & Velveeta rotini with broccoli

SNACK, 4:00 P.M.

Blueberry granola bar 

SNACK, 6:05 P.M.

Two miniature Hershey's chocolates 

DINNER, 7:20 P.M.
I know it looks icky, but it's actually good -- it's a hamburger & potato hot dish concoction that my mom used to make a lot. Also: this is a baby plate. I didn't actually fill a full-sized dinner plate.

SNACK, 10:35 P.M.

Mint chocolate chip ice cream.
