Leftover lunch: tandoori chicken

Currently Digging: whole wheat penne + grape tomatoes + spinach +garlic warm pasta salad

Articles always say... the best lunch is the leftover from last night's dinner.

When we first ate at the Indian resto here, I ordered the grilled platter: tandoori chicken, grilled shrimps, lamb, etc...
PORTION SIZE: pretty huge... good enough to share...

• So, next day's lunch for me:
• left over meat (chicken),
• sliced cucumbers with italian dressing,
• cheese cube,
• and a regular size salad (of romaine, carrots and fresh mushrooms)

FAST and EASY. (oh and CHEAP!)
Pretty clever lunch! hehehe... the meat was so tasty i didn't have to even thing about a salad dressing.. it just balances it out.

***SIGHS*** i like Indian foods.... but the calories.... just make me break asweat everytime!

ugh!

Currently Digging: deli ham from hy vee

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! i cannot resist the temptation!!!! I just thought I blog it!
I craved for it and I got it!!!!!!

It's that salt & fat laden burger from Mc Donald's... the one in their dollar menu!!
The one that melts in your mouth when you bite into it... (well it is made of fat right???)The one thats hard to resist when you stop by for that dollar 42 oz. diet dr. pepper and a free redbox rental...

It is the.. one and only... double cheese burger...

... i must confess within a matter of 2 stop lights and 2 stop signs... I have devoured this temptating pseudo protein fat laden food... and to say the least for a matter of minutes i was in my state of NIRVANA...

too bad it didn't give enough satisfaction to orgasm!

guess my brain already flipped out and started calculating grams of fat and calories per bite! haha!!

• LARGE dt. dr. pepper: $1.08
• Double Cheese Burger: $1.07
• FREE red box rental: -$1.00
• GRAND TOTAL: $1.15!

the EGGbetters...

Currently Digging: grilled chicken breast and cabbage/carrots strifry

AS MUCH AS I LOVE MEAT.... i love eggs!!!

scrambled.
hard boiled.
sunnysideup.
poached.
omelet. name it i'll eat it!
(except raw.... hihi...)



While i was training, my trainer noticed that i eat eggs everyday... of course my daily cholesterol then was ALWAYS way TOO HIGH. So she suggested egg beaters every once in a while... or trying cage-free eggs...


Well, let me tell you, it's love at FIRST taste!
it's not as fluffy, not as rich...
but hey, its easy! and I can eat more and it's = to 1 large egg!



REAL EGG: 75 calories, 212 mg cholesterol, 6.3 g protein
EGG BEATERS: 30 calories (1/4 cup), 0 cholesterol, 6 g protein (and i can eat 1/2 cup!)

WHAT's NOT TO LOVE EH?

too bad... they don't have a hard boiled egg beaters!!!!

now: hard boiled eggs... one of my breakfast pleasures!

BEST but NOT FRIED french fries

Currently Digging: potatoes and omelet parin...

FRIES.... is my moms' weakness. With the 'healthy diet' im in, i try... as much as possible to limit myself eating---fried, oily and salty foods. (I LOVE FRIES! I LOVE PIZZA! I LOVE FRIED CHICKEN! hehe) Oh, i splurge every once in a while... but not as often as before.

2 things about fastfood/resto fries that's BAD for you: 1. DEEP FRIED; 2. SALT.

2 things about my fries that's AWESOME: 1. baked not fried; 2. sodium free yummy!

• ^wash potatoes and cut (kasing laki ng pinky finger)
• ^dry with kitchen towel
• ^LIGHTLY flour
• ^toss with MRS. DASH or HERB CHEF SEASONING, garlic powder, ground pepper, onion powder
• ^SINGLE LAYER on our infamous nu-wave oven pro! Cook for about 15-20 mins, turning once!

Currently Digging: potatoes and omelet.

SLUSHssssss

Currently Digging: apple + toast with tuna

ITS SUMMER TIME!!!!! its 90 deg out, aside from ice cold water or soda.... one of my fave drinks....

FRESH FRUIT SLUSH....

MAy it be sonic's, or whereever... anything with ICE i'll dig!

The thing is.. a lot of these places uses canned fruits, preserved fruits.... sugar etc... Since I'm EATING HEALTHY... trying to stay away from simple carbs and simple sugar....

I simply indulge myself at home....

With our BULLET:

^I used store bought ICE (dapat kasi ung ice madaling i-grind, like those bought in stores... kasi pag ung galing sa ice tray too big and too thick, namemelt muna bago ma grind plus there must be something different witht he processing or temp.. hehe)

^FRESH FRUITS OF CHOICE... oranges and strawberries...

And in 8 seconds....

I AM SIPPING AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and as always: it's cheap and it's healthy!
