What I Ate: 2/12/2010

• 1 scoop Matrix Cookies & Cream (130 kcals, 23g protein, 5g carbs, 2g fat) in 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla Almond Breeze (20 kcals, 0.5g protein, 0.5g carbs, 1.5g fat). Total - (150 kcals, 23.5g protein, 5.5g carbs, 3.5g fat).
• Chicken salad sandwich: 1/2 Flatout Light Italian flatbread (45 kcals, 4.5g protein, 3.3g net carbs, 1.8g fat) with 2 oz. homemade chicken salad (79 kcals, 13.4g protein, 3g net carbs, 2.9g fat). Total - (124 kcals, 17.9g protein, 6.3g net carbs, 4.7g fat). This is really good chicken salad that I made with leftover chicken breast and the dark parts of my rotisserie chicken. I used exactly half dark meat and half breast. I chopped the dark meat in the food processor so it could impart smoothness and richness throughout; I simply diced the chicken breast. I also used leftover onion, turkey bacon, and red bell pepper from the meal I cooked for my mom last Saturday. I left the pepper raw, but I sauteed the onion simply with salt. The dressing is just mustard and nonfat Fage seasoned relatively straightforwardly with Worcestershire, Liquid Smoke, Old Bay, black pepper, sage, and garlic powder. It is the best chicken salad I've ever made. The creamy dark meat is amazing in this dish, and I like the textural variation of the chicken breast chunks. I also like that this is "refrigerator" chicken salad - I just tossed in whatever I wanted to put in from the fridge and created something yummy.

For today's exercise, I did 45 minutes on the elliptical at the office gym. I'd planned to do more, but I overslept yet again.
