So today was exactly what I had prepared for when we bought a whole bunch of "emergency" food at the supermarket at the beginning of January. I woke up, ran late, forgot to make the crock pot dinner meal before going to bed and forgot my leftovers. How did it turn out? Let's see . . . . . . . . . . .
Breakfast - Lean Pocket. This is an "emergency" breakfast. Something different, keep me away from Dunkin and very quick. "Healthy?" no. BUT - Convenient? Yes. Better than DUnkin? YES. (250 calories)
Snack - cheese crackers (200 calories)
Lunch - Forgot my leftover Sloppy Joe today because I was so mad I forgot to cook last night's crock pot meal for today. Next on the emergency food list is my 10 for $10 progresso soups. I had the Macaroni & Bean (Pasta E Fagioli) which was 320 calories. I really like this soup. Easy in the microwave and the whole can fits perfectly into the bowl I brought to school with me. It's also very heavy feeling so it fills me up and I'm satisfied by it.
Snack - Fiber One Double CHocolate Cookie Bites - (130 calories) Just the usual snack during pit orchestra.
Dinner - Tonight was supposed to be crock pot buffalo pulled chicken. I forgot to make it last night and I had to stay late tonight for jazz band sooooooo . . . . .. . .round 3 of emergency foods - Lean Cuisine Santa Fe Rice and Beans. I really like this meal. Only problem is that this one tasted weird and bad for some reason. I'm not sure what the deal is with that, but I didn't not eat it all. (225 calories) How disappointing. I mean, I ate most of it because it was my dinner, but I did not enjoy it at all.
Snack - Handi-snacks cheese and crackers - so nasty but so good! (100 calories)
Late Night Snack - Goldfish (140 calories) I ate them slowly and enjoyed them. Ate them one at a time. Of course, it was rapid fire one at a time, but I usually eat like 6 at a time.
Total Calories Today - 1,365. Not bad for an emergency day! This day in the past would have been Dunkin breakfast - Buttered bagel, chocolate frosted donut and Red Bull
Pizza Lunch - 2 slices of specialty pizza - likely BBQ chicken and a white slice + a soda
Chinese Dinner - Chicken & Broccoli and White Rice w/Wonton Soup.
Not only unhealthy, but $23. INstead, I spent $4.50 on my 3 meals. I can get behind that if this is going to be my "unhealthy" day, and unhealthy means no homecooked meals.
