mar. 17

Brekky: 0.5 oz brazil nuts right after early exercise class, then  morning smoothie when I got home.

Lunch: carrot while preparing:  lentils & rice, steamed kale and rutabaga sauce. apple for dessert.  very filling lunch.

Dinner: big easy salad, baked beet, carrot while preparing, two small oranges for dessert.

total calories: 1550. protein 50 g (11%), carbs 295 g (71%), fat 31 g (18%).

I'm thinking I might need more fat.  maybe another half oz nuts at dinner.   hmmm, maybe I'll have to make a treat tomorrow.

Updated Mar. 18.  at bedtime I was hungry and I don't sleep as well when I'm hungry so I decided I needed those nuts and ate another 0.5 oz of brazil nuts.  and I did sleep well.  So revised nutritional intake is:

total calories:  1643, protein 52 g (11%), carbs 297 g (67%), fat 41g (22%).

How do you make you baked beet? I usually peel, cut into bite size pieces, coat with a little olive oil, and bake. Do you use oil?

Thanks, Sue

Hi Frooba, I just throw it in the oven as is, at 350 F for 1.5 hours. then chop off the ends and eat it with the peel. but you can peel it too if you wish---I'd wait until after baking to keep the juices in. no oil needed that way.
