Wow, it has been for-ev-er since I have done a What I Ate Wednesday post (and actually, this draft has been in my dashboard for over a month).  I used take pictures of my food every day, but these days, I find myself hardly ever taking pictures of my food.  Usually because by the time I sit down to eat, I am on the verge of death so there is not time for a picture.  That being said, I still do take SOME pictures, so I’m going to share them with you today!

The weekdays are almost always the same, with a standard breakfast, snack at school, lunch is usually leftovers and vegetables, which is the same for dinner.  And ice cream…every night.

BreakfastTwo slices of toast with cream cheese and strawberry jelly // one egg // coffee

But really…

OROats // milk // banana // coffee (and peanut butter)

I always buy a coffee once I arrive at school because I swear they put sedatives into the air on the bus.  Sleeeeeeppppppp.

OK.  So I wrote this post so long ago that much of that breakfast routine has changed.  A few weeks ago, after many days of feeling like garbage at school- completely exhausted and light- headed, I decided to cut out gluten from my diet (during the week only).  Now, I eat the oatmeal breakfast you see above every morning, and drink my coffee at home.  I have been feeling SO MUCH BETTER, but I think a lot of it is psychological, because when I eat gluten-laden things on the weekend…and beer…I don’t feel like garbage (but I don’t feel completely normal, either).  Anyways, I don’t know.  Oatmeal has been breakfast, period.

Snack

Banana // handful (or 5) of peanuts

*Some days this changes and I will eat things like: apple with Laughing Cow (type) cheese wedge, carrots, clementine, vegetables.

Lunch

Brown rice // sauteed chicken // sauteed vegetables + an apple + peanut butter

ORChili with cheese

Or today’s lunch (in real time!!!)Deconstructed Enchilada- rice // beans // roasted peppers, onions and butternut squash with chilis // cheese // cilantro // salsa // chicken

I made an “Enchilada Casserole” this weekend, which is basically the ingredients listed above…in layered casserole form (plus corn tortillas and more cheese)

Snack

More peanuts or a rice cake with peanut butter or a clementine, etc.

Dinner“Chicken fried rice” with veggies // brown rice // chicken // soy sauce // scrambled egg (I know this looks DISGUSTING)

Another night:

Rice // 2 fried eggs // tomato sauce // salt

Another night:

This is what I eat ~3x/ week- sauteed veggies // rice // cheese // chicken.  Tastes better than it looks.

Dessert

Ice cream or chocolate with tea.

Snack

Sometimes I have tea or more rice cakes, depending on what time dinner was eaten.  Usually I eat dinner around 9 pm and head to bed around 10:30, so I don’t need much of a snack.
