What makes my food life slightly more of a challenge, is that I have limited cooking and storing capabilities. I can use a portion of the owner's refridgerator...and I can cook, so long as I dont make a mess. I try to stick to items I can steam in the microwave at work or portion out of a larger container as the week goes on. Cooking and prepping all my food on sunday...limited space or no...has been a crucial part of my success...
I started taking pictures of my food to share :)
This is organic red quinoa with a vegetable stew (which included: kale, cabbage, zuchini, carrots, celery, onion, and black beans). I put too much chili powder on the vegetables which made the entire meal aversive. I sadly ended up throwing most of it away :( This has been the most filling and lowest calorie meal Ive had since starting.
Ocean caught salmon steamed in the microwave with salt, pepper and lemon (AMAZING). paired with broccoli :) This tasted AMAZING (as aforementioned) but it left me craving carbs. I supplemented with organic, non GMO rice cakes. Also...that was a LOT of broccoli, which means a LOT of fiber...
all organic: refried black beans, shredded chicken and bean salad with pinto beans, carrots, bell pepper and fresh corn, topped with cheese. On the side, 1/2 serving of tortilla chips and lettuce for taco shells. This tasted like health food...it was good, and I ate most of it...but I didnt do a great job tricking my mind into thinking it was a replacement for old favorites.
and this week! hard boiled egg, sweet potato (steamed in the microwave) and garbanzo bean salad with tomatoes, zuchini, basil and balsmic vinaigrette. This is a major score, though it may not look like much. It was filling and satisfying and I'll definitely try it, or versions similar, in the future.
