Food Ingested:
3 cups of coffee
Oatmeal with rice milk
Open face toasted sandwich (One slice gluten-free Whole Foods bread, once slice all natural Swiss cheese, 2 natural smoked chicken slices)
1 pickle
3 cups fruit salad (cherries, watermelon, cantaloupe)
1 cup pickled veggie salad
Today's Calorie Savers: Fresh fruit and pickled veggies (often called giardiniera, see image below) were my two calorie savers of the day. They helped me make it through with their bulk and relatively low calories for volume. Giardiniera can be fabulous on top of hot sandwiches and sausages. Mmm. Perhaps that pair will make itself present in tomorrow's menu.
I love seasonal fruits and veggies. Watermelon is my favorite seasonal fruit, followed closely by various berries, mangoes, and other melons. A book by Mireille Guiliano (in addition to French Women Don't Get Fat), French Women for All Seasons, is another favorite of mine. The book discusses ideas for how to enjoy seasonal foods in great depth by season. If you feel like you are missing out on the enjoyment possible in any season, as I sometimes feel, this book provides great fodder for your seasonal enjoyment.
