For you new followers, last time I craved pasta, I ended up making chili... which was good, but pissed me off because I wanted spaghetti!
This time, I was smarter... ha HA!!
I made a healthy chicken cacciatore (Italians, turn away, you will not appreciate me using your dish name for this, I'm sure).
I cooked up some whole wheat spaghettini. In a pot I put a can of diced tomatoes, garlic, and oregano. Meanwhile in a frypan, I sauteed onions, zucchini, mushrooms, carrots and celery until mostly tender. And while those where sauteeing, I finely chopped a chicken breast.
I plopped the veggies into the tomatoes, and used the pan to quick fry the chicken. Then I threw the whole works into a roaster, stirred it up and threw it in the oven where it is now bubbling away nicely.
AND the whole dinner is under 400 calories!! Can I get a WHOOP WHOOP!!!!
Here's today's eats:
Br: 1/3 cup oatmeal, 1/4 cup pineapple, 2 strawberries, 1 tablespoon PB2, milk & vitamin
Lu: same soup and sandwich I've had all week, only this time I sliced a dill pickle on it, added a teaspoon of light mayo, and toasted the bread. WAY better, and that despite the fact that it was good already!
Sn: would you believe I forgot to eat?
Appy: 1/4 cup pineapple (cuz otherwise I'll binge until dinner is ready in 45 minutes)
Dn: aforementioned chicken cacciatore
That's 1173 calories for the day!
And, today I did 5k in 42 minutes on the treadmill. Blue happy star for me!
