Today's fat content: OFF THE CHART!! Really: the little bar that CalorieKing fills up as you eat grams of fat is completely full and bright, shrieking red. Muahahahahahaaaa! But it's the first time in four days I managed to hit my calorie target, in fact managed to go over by a little bit, so I am not complaining. One of my future goals is to reduce the amount of fat in my diet, but I'm not going to worry to much about that yet, as I have no immediate health concern, because I think it would just be too much to add at this point (I'm having a hard time just trying to get a weights workout in more than once a week as is).

Tomorrow's lunch is looking much healthier, though:

(x) 1.94 oz of Oroweat: Breads: 100% Whole Wheat
(x) 0.21 oz of Best Foods: Spreads: Dijonnaise
(x) 0.39 oz of Cheese: Cheddar
(x) 0.78 oz of Wegmans: Deli & Luncheon Meats: Ham Off Bone, Brown Sugar
(x) 0.32 oz of Vegetables, Fresh: Lettuce, Iceberg, raw, edible portion
(x) 2.4 oz of Vegetables, Fresh: Tomato, ripe, raw, edible portion
(x) 1.48 oz of Fruits, Fresh: Clementines, raw, edible portion
(x) 2.12 oz of Vegetables, Fresh: Carrots, raw, edible portion
(x) 1 package of Doritos: Tortilla Chips: Nacho Cheese, 100 Calorie Mini Bites

Meal Total 380 12.3g 3.6g 16.1g 56.1g 17g 8.2g 227mg
(calories, fat, saturated fat, protein, carbs, sugar, fiber, calcium)

The sandwiches are insanely detailed on the weight because I cut shapes out of bread using the ice cream molds - I have a STAR and a SQUIRCLE sandwich - and piled the various things on as they were on the food scale. And my TEENY amount of lettuce has all of ONE calorie. It's there mostly to add a bit of crunch. I couldn't put any more on or I wouldn't have been able to close the lid of the box and god forbid I reduce the amount of ham and cheese! There's cherry tomatoes tucked around the sandwiches to keep them from falling over, and the second tier is carrot chips and a clementine. And the Doritos are thrown in because otherwise it's way too damn healthy.

I'll still get hungry right about my usual 3 PM crash, but with any luck the bistro will have a bag of Stacy's Pita Chips in Sea Salt because I have an ADDICTION.

It's currently all crammed, except for the Doritos, into my NEEEEW sakura bento box, from a set I bought off eBay, which looks like this, except that the bags are beige instead of white:

If you want to see what-all came with the set, you can go over to this auction, which contains the exact same items.

My biggest problem now is that I have all these little sauce/dip type containers ... and I don't really eat sauces and dips. Suggestions for their use gladly taken.

Anyway, NO PHOTOS of my lunch because I am lazy. SO THERE.

And I have a new scanner! But not a working ew scanner, because I have to pop off my computer's cover and install the SCSI card before I can hook it up, and I decided I'd already had too much excitement for one evening. You would not believe the number of pacing peanuts* I have all over my floor at the moment.

* My family always called them "bookworms."

We always called them "ghost poop".

No pictures? That's no fun :(
I was looking at a set like that as well. However I don't use sauce/dips either (shock!) so I guess it would be a little silly for me to have all of the extras.

If I had some nice crusty French or Italian bread, I suppose I could put a little olive oil and salt and pepper into one and use it to dip the bread into. Maybe I'll do that when I make funny spaghetti.*

The things I eat sauces with, like french fries, you can't really heat up in a microwave, which is all we have at work.

* My family's term for Generic Pasta made with Jar o'Sauce, whatever pasta shapes are in the pantry, and a pound of ground beef cooked, drained, and stirred into the sauce.

Lol. Your "funny pasta" sounds a lot like my family's "muscle man food" only ours has the addition of cheese.

funny pasta sounds like what i call:

regular pasta

and what my cosuins call:

favourite spaghetti.
(its cute in a 6 year old accent)

i also dunno. because i'm a sauce fiend. a FIEND i tell you. maybe use it for small items. like cransins. because...well...don't people other than me eat that sorta thing?

also, did you ever mail out the bpal to me? i only ask because my post has been a definate twigface (YES, TWIGFACE) since i've moved and things have been getting lost/taking 100 years/etc etc etc for the past few months. and i wanna get all huffy at the (cute) post man if i need to :D

Ai-yi-yi! I've forgotten again! No, I haven't. If I don't send you an email saying that I've put them in the mail THIS WEEKEND, then email me and yell at me. I'll see what-all I can drop in there to make up for it. :D

hahaha tyty. i asked because my grandma is convinced the mailguy hates us. someone sent her something and she never got it and she got all up in arms, convinced our (cute) postboy ate it. (it was food) but it turns out her family didn't address it right (aduh!) and we just found out like today. hahah. i'm always getting things in the mail with giant question marks, as if they don't believe i live here. it's absurd, but don't worry too much, you know i'm pretty chill about things ;D

I feel your pain. Especially since the house is filled with junkfood goodies T____T Too much FAAAAAT!

My fat percentages go up when I eat right because then the bulky food has zero fat calories (zukes, oranges, etc) and it's the condiments (olives! nuts!) that do. Heh.

As for little sauce guys....I like to dip my steamed veggies in salad dressing (Annie's shitake mushroom, or ranch). Also, tiny pieces of extra dark chocolate, dark chocolate covered blueberries/cherries/almonds, crushed peanuts for topping noodley things, feta cheese to toss on salad, hmmm, that's mostly what goes in mine.

I know! I'll eat fruit until I'm stuffed and check my calories left and ... aaaaahhhhh! still 700 to go! Bring on the cheese and summer sausage! (I wish I liked nuts more, but there's only so many I can take at one time.)

I realized on the way in to work that I could use one of the containers for putting some Lact-Aid in on the days when I pack a lunch with dairy, so I wouldn't have to remember to bring the bottle in my bag up to the break room.

cute bento set! ♥

Thanks!
