Day 9 - Learning from mistakes

Dinner was not planned, as was like one of those cooking challenges to make a meal out of a fairly random group of ingredients. I would have gotten a C-, but I learned something, and that is valuable. Apparently, common button mushrooms and tuna are not a match made in heaven, but mushrooms, spinach and goats cheese are. A more terrestrial meat like chicken or beef would have improved things. I also learned that even covered by, a lasagna REALLY needs sauce on top to prevent the top noodles from becoming something slightly tougher than shoe leather.  On the plus side, I was NOT tempted to have seconds, so maybe I am onto something - healthy but unappetizing meals!

Breakfast  - 1 slice whole grain bread with goats cheese, 1 cup coffee skim milk

Lunch - 1 bowl rice with chicken curry, kiwi fruit

Afternoon snack - 1 cup yogurt with strawberries and kiwi fruit plus chopped cashews and Craisins (dried cranberries, great crunchy/chewy addition)

Dinner - Tuna/spinach/mushroom lasagna experiment  - next time use beef or chicken, needs more sauce to prevent top pasta from drying out

Late night snack - low fat plain yogurt, honey, strawberries, cashews craisins - super snack, unsure how many calories but less than a bowl ice cream for sure
