I get Hungry Girl email newsletters (she sends really good recipes, food "swaps", etc) and today was a good one - an Official Hungry Girl Supermarket List! I buy a lot of these and there are some really good product ideas.
Well, I haven't been taking pics of my food recently (altho I always write everything down and track all my points), but today I did a little photo taking...
For breakfast, I made a green smoothie that Alissa from A Journey to Thin always makes and it was awesome! It has a banana, an orange, a cup of spinach and 1/2 cup of yogurt for 1 pt. That's all I had and maybe it wasn't enough of a breakfast tho because later as I was working out after, I got really hungry.
So after my workout I had a string cheese. This one is Sargento and really good (2 pts). I have tried the Weight Watchers kind but don't really like those as much (even tho they are only 1 pt).
For lunch, I had a taco from leftover taco meat (and cheese, light sour cream & salsa) which I hardened to make crunchy, just using Pam for no added calories. I almost made a 2nd one, but talked myself out of it. (6 pts) Yum!
For a snack later, I had this amazing cheesecake pudding (3 pts, so good) with fat free whipped cream (0 pts). Cheesecake pudding! Genius!
Another snack was a cup of Cinnamon Cheerios, which are very good for 3 pts.
Dinner was a one person casserole type thing I made with a chicken breast, a cup of rice, frozen beans, a little cream of chicken, some spices and cheese on top (10 pts).Do you guys use food scales? My parents have an ancient wobbly one, but I've been thinking of buying a good one. Lately I measure everything out. A little anal, but I gotta do it until I get used to what good portions are.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Thanks for the Hungry Girl list. I haven't seen that one. I've been wondering about that green smoothie but was too afraid to try - spinach for breakfast? Only for Popeye - lol. I'll have to try it. Your food looks good. I didn't even know Cinnamon Cheerios existed - another thing I'll have to keep my eye out for. Thanks for the tips. PS - yes, I use a scale to weigh my food.
I have an old WW scale that I use for certain things. I find it really useful!
Hi, new follower ;)
I have the biggest loser food scale, I really like it.
Im a huge hungry girl fan, I have that email saved too. I love her show, a new ones on today. I have the dvr ready to go
I am going to have to try that smoothie. I follow her blog too and keep meaning to try it. I think I would have to eat something else with it too though.
I do use a food scale. I love it! It is inexpensive and it is the highest rated on Amazon.
