Alllll the Sammies  

Those were all mine lol. 2 tuna sandwiches cut in half with one ounce of chips. Like 600 kcal I think it was. Needed the tuna for protein and the carbs for energy for my workout. I did wait a couple hours so the protein would be better used (I remember reading that meat should be eaten a couple hours beforehand). Hmmm now that I think about it, I ate the same as the hubby! I don’t think we’ve ever eaten the same! Well he did have 2 hard boiled eggs and one in his sandwich where I only had an egg white. So he did eat more. Whew! I was worried there for a minute. The hubs has joined me on here and is learning the ropes while cutting. He’s aiming for a 6 pack. 😉 

Love this plate. Love tuna but lately I’ve been trying to swap chips for other crunchy stuff like carrots, cucumbers, peppers, etc. It’s the crunch I like!!🙃 

I like the crunch AND the salt. I’d have had pickles but I’m almost out of my baby dills. 2 wasn’t going to be enough. For lunch I’ve been trying to eat 5 of them as my side. (You won’t find them in my log because I don’t log 0 kcal foods) 

I usually don't either but was surprised the other day when jimmy John's jumbo pickle had almost 3000 MG of sodium. That's enough right there to make someone gain a couple pounds possibly 🙄 

Oh yes! I used to log pickles so I could watch the sodium. Now if I have an unexplained gain I just go with it for a week. If it ever sticks around longer then I’ll start logging that stuff again. It just got so time consuming trying to balance the sodium with macros and calories on top of meal planning. I know that I really should log every drop that I put in my mouth whether it has calories or not.
