Level 4: Rest in Pieces [4/10/22 | 248.2 lbs]

Making a smoothie. 

General Notes

Ran out of eggs today, so adding a new meal to my breakfast options: the humble smoothie. I used this guide as a baseline and am pretty happy with my results:

• 1/4 C plain non-fat Greek yogurt
• 3/4 C skim milk
• 1.5 C frozen fruit (used a mix of cherries and some other berries today)

Also, yesterday I talked about incorporating two new meals (meat + veggies + potato, or whole wheat sandwich) into my routine, but I currently am set on meals. Got a pot of chili cooking and still have three prepped buffalo chicken rice bowls all set.  

I'll try these next time.

Sketching today's meals

• B: Smoothie
• L: Chipotle burrito bowl with brown rice, steak, vegetables, guacamole.
• D: Vegetarian chili.

Daily Article Notes

Relevant notes from my daily set of Noom articles.

• Estimating portions is really tough without getting precise with it. I think that's why when I eat out, I lean towards chains like Chipotle that at least try for some degree of uniformity.
• Next article is about grocery shopping, specifically how it can be a major environmental trigger. Amen to that, for me anyway. It's super common for me to get to a grocery store and come out with a bunch of junk food I'll start eating in the car ride home.
• Some tips:
• Go earlier in the day. Agreed. I like going after lunch when I'm not really hungry.
• Plan ahead. Again, yes. Minimize the amount of decisions I make when there.
