Day Two Food Journal

Our Day One food journal was good but it needed improvement. I can see where brands, times, and serving sizes that are more accurate help to find patterns in eating. I tried to eat a little healthier yet stay true to my normal eating habits. If you sway from how you eat because you are writing it down, then it is not a true picture!! Be honest with this, it will help in the long run!!

Breakfast: 6:30

1 cup of oatmeal with 1/4 cup blueberries, tbs of chia seeds, and a half banana cut up.

2 cups of coffee with 2 tbs ID Pumpkin Spice Creamer in each

Morning Snack: 10:15

Banana with mini-serving of Jif PB

One leftover doughnut

Lunch: 1:15

Leftover spaghetti about 2 cups with 2 meatballs

Diet Dr. Pepper

Snack: 3:00

One handful of Cheez-its

One Snickers bar

Home: 4:25

One handful of mixed nuts

Dinner: 6:30

Four tacos with 1/4 cup meat in each, 1 tbs sour cream, avocado, lettuce, salsa

1/4 cup refried beans and rice

Dessert:

Klondike Bar

Snack: 9:00

Small bag of Doritos and 1 tbs of Jif crunchy pb

One thing I noticed about how I ate this day was the sugar involved. It hit me how much sugar I actually eat when I honestly thought I was doing good with sugar. But there was sugar in the following foods:

• Creamer

• Doughnut

• Peanut Butter

• Spaghetti sauce

• Snickers

• Klondike Bar

• Peanut Butter again

So I basically consumed extra sugar with almost every snack and meal. Tomorrow when I eat I will try to cut this down a little while being honest with how I really eat.

Do you see improvements from this post to the past post? I added times and tried to include some measurements, when I could. Journaling this food will definitely help us in a few days when we look to begin eating healthier and with more of a positive pattern!

Day three will be on the way….
