Feb. 21 food

Brekky:  smoothie

snack:  apple, 2 carrots, cantaloupe.  


Dinner:  big easy salad (a variation on the apple-arugula salad)

Total calories:  1230.  protein 36g, carbs 217 g, fat 34g (25%).

This doesn't seem like a lot of calories, yet I'm not hungry.   I was hungry at lunchtime but it was 2 hours late (I knew it would be and brought a snack).  It was a medium activity day, not high (working at the church in the morning, snow shoveling later in the day, veg-ing the rest of the time, took a nap).  I had about 1.75 oz of nuts and seeds (0.5 oz flaxseeds in the smoothie, 0.75 mixture of almonds and pumpkin seeds in the kale sauce, 0.5 oz sunflower seeds in the salad).  The edamame in the salad had another 3g of healthy fats.  25% fat intake seems reasonable for a medium-activity day.
