I went to my old neighborhood to the local co-op to get some Arctic Zero “ice cream”. What i liked about it is that the whole pint is only 150 calories, and gives significant protein and fiber grams.
It’s supposed to be lactose free, GMO free, gluten and fat free lol. Um...the chocolate was underwhelming. It’s almost like I could make “ice cream” from my own protein powder and it would have more punch. But then it’s supposed to be like cookies n’ cream...so not so much of a chocolate flavor but more of a cream. It’s not bad, but not sure I would get this flavor again. It’s more of a flavor expectation that was not met vs a bad product.
I also had my first burrito bowl from Chipotle’s ^^
* chicken
* brown rice
* double fajita veggies
* black beans
* red and green salsa (so yes it was spiced up ^^)
* cheese ( I said a bit of cheese but this seems a lot so I’ll track the full amount of cheese on MFP)
A whopping $9...lmao. Just a bit more expensive than a chicken greek salad + apple from Panera bread. The guac you see in the photo is me adding my wholly guacamole 100 cal pack once I got home. No way was I gonna add 200+ cals when I had my own at home pfft. If you ever want to get filled up, this is the way to go. I did have chips and salsa a while back from a friend’s order. But I wouldn’t get the chips now. Would be easier just to like grab a corn shell taco (cause I heard you can do that for free) and break it up.
I also (tentatively) lost another 3-4 lbs. I’m not calling it official yet until several days have passed, however. I’ll say it now: tracking is always a win ^^ Even if you have to get stricter on weighing and measuring, at least you have an idea of what you are doing.
One thing that I am glad to see is that I can go over my calories a significant amount for a couple of days, get right back into gear, and it doesn’t damage me too much on the scale. It does help if I split the calories eaten into 2 days. Like recently I had two ghirardelli chocolate bars (Intense Dark Hazelnut Heaven & Midnight Reverie (86% Cacao)) in the same day, but I split the damage into 2. That helped me curtail my eating some the next day, but I did miss the calories. Empty calories are no good, people!
