I was opening up a new box of snack bags, and one of the panels says, "Make your own 100 Calorie snack packs." Good ol' Ziploc. How thoughtful of them to list stuff you can put in their little bags.
I actually thought it was an interesting and helpful little list, so I'm passing it along:
1 small orange
13 animal crackers (yes! 13!)
3/4 oz. cheddar cheese
1/2 C dried, unsweetened apricot halves
45 small soy crisps
2 Tbsp mixed nuts
3/4 C bran cereal (uh...yum?)
28 grapes
5 whole, dried, pitted dates
3 mini chocolate chip cookies (not very many, I'd say)
1 C blueberries
17 dry roasted peanuts
25 jelly beans
3 Tbsp raisins
I don't know why 100 calories is such a magic number, and obviously not all of these things are equally nutritious, but nevertheless, it does give a nice sense of proportion.
As for my eats today, I did pretty well. Oatmeal with dried cranberries and milk, one and a half canned pears, a thin slice of cheddar cheese, a breakfast sandwich (two eggs, one piece of bacon, two pieces of lightly buttered toast), six wheat ritz crackers, a small handful of sun chips, a mug of Swiss Miss, and one and a half zucchini/black bean/corn enchiladas. And a glass of milk and lots of water.
I will probably split with Jeremy the last truffle Mom and Dad bought us for a sweet treat. And there you go. No real exercise today, other than general kid wrangling. I'm hoping for another long walk tomorrow.
P.S. Your food sounds a lot tastier than mine.
