What I ate today:
- cereal with fruit
- chocolate milk
- donut holes
- thai curry soup
- bread*
- tangerine
- carrot/apple/passionfruit juice (you can't taste the carrot)
- an Amy's Organics enchilada bowl**
- green beans
What I would've eaten if it weren't for The Plan:
- cereal with fruit
- chocolate milk
- donut holes
- some kind of pastry/muffin***
- an Amy's Organics enchilada bowl
- dessert
I ate more than I would've otherwise (although I may have eaten enough dessert to make up the difference in calories, at least), but I think it's pretty obviously an improvement.
*I just went to look up the nutritional information for the soup and bread and the bread is listed as having potential allergens including shellfish and fish, and yet it's still also listed as vegetarian.
** Is it okay to assume this has one serving of vegetables? A serving is only half a cup, so it seemed like it must have at least that much, even though it was mainly beans. Are beans vegetables? Is potato?
*** A muffin from the place I got soup and bread is 520 calories! I usually feel slightly virtuous when I go for a carrot muffin instead of a cinnamon roll, but I'm not sure the scraps of vegetable are worth the extra 170 calories.

Beans & potatoes aren't vegetables (one is a legume, the other is a starch, dietary pyramid-wise), but it seems like you're eating super healthily as it is!
I can't believe how many calories are in muffins. It's shocking.
You're kicking ass on the eating-well. But you're missing the important food group of ice cream. :)
Kermit, I didn't think they were vegetables, but then the food pyramid site seemed to be saying they were.
Luckybuzz, it's still a bit cold to be tempted much by ice cream, unfortunately (or fortunately...).
I read that you should try to eat five servings of *different* colored veggies. Try adding a fruit for breakfast and different fruit for desert before bed and that takes care of two.**
