I would never judge weird food combos, lol.

Perfect because I had more meals with beets. I’m taking my family along for the ride and no one is happy 🤣

Spiced ground lamb, couscous and marinated beet salad

How is everyone’s autumn/spring going so far?

Because the ugly stuff deserves a place, too (like that yellow brick-hulk I posted yesterday, lol).

Half-eaten leftover vegan croissant I bought yesterday and didn't want to throw out after having eaten part of it (won't recommend eating it the next day), some ramen and additional mushrooms thrown into leftover Soup from yesterday. I called it a late Sunday Breakfast.

It's gotten too cold already compared to last year.

And even after years I'm still not over the fact that German stores start selling X-mas chocolates etc. in August.

Persian Food! salad and grilled meats: 271 calories. Ate it all.

This looks like such a little amount of food. I can't believe it's supposed to have 271 cals.

Yeah it all adds up. Mind u if i skipped the Salad Dressing, i could’ve cut 25% off the total….

…and now because i like to wrap things up into a nice conclusion, here is yesterday’s 4th and final meal.

I haven’t logged it yet in MFP cuz there are so many components and i was too lazy (and drunk, lol) to do it last night. So I took a pic of the menu to remind me to enter it later.

Ahi tuna appetizer: 320 calories. Ate everything above the rice. Didn’t eat the rice cuz I didn’t want to get too full, plus it was touching the ginger glaze “lake” at the bottom which was waaaay to sweet for my taste.

Lavender lemonade: 200 calories. So pretty, right?! Drank it all.

Also had 2 vodka sodas: 150 calories, not shown.

sooooo…if my math is right, i ended the day at about 1900 cals (i also had some pistachios, some cheese and crackers and a Lindt Lindor truffle chocolate as Snacks in between these meals). It really does all add up.

Lavender lemonade. I have trouble imagining how that might taste but it looks very pretty, indeed!

264 calories for the bowl, will eat the rest in a couple hours.

Junk food dinner time!

Y’all I made a vegan no bean chili after forgetting I had cans of it. The calories are for the whole big bowl of which I maybe ate 1/3. But then I looked at the can and yikes!

Your has no fat. Theirs has 21 grams in the can. Was yours as good as theirs? If so, that fat was not necessary.

Honestly I think it’s more about the spices that I used that made it better. I always add extra chili powder to canned chili. The fat was definitely not needed.

dinner with kids- cucumbers, mini tater tots (I ate the other 6 while making plates) and kielbasa, pepper, and onions.

Also, you’ll never see me consuming ketchup with potato (or other products) as a dip because I find it disgusting.

The Kid took home a doggy bag from her meal out so I helped myself to it!

chicken wings & Crispy Riblets: 382 calories for whats shown. Leftovers went into the trash.
