Meeting-Packed Morning
Sorry for the late post– my morning has been jam-packed with meeting after meeting after meeting! I finally just sat down at my desk. I have a gazillion emails in my inbox, so this post is going to be quick and to the point!
I had a great workout this morning! It wasn’t difficult getting out of bed (I think the warmer weather helps), and I had some extra energy to fuel me through my workout. I did 30 minutes of shoulder exercises, followed by 30 minutes on the elliptical. I was feeling pretty jazzed, so I was able to pick up the pace this morning!
My photos are backwards, so I’ll start with lunch, which I am about to eat. Lunch is a ham and swiss sandwich on Ezekiel bread with some leftover veggie-bean salad and 5 chocolate dipped apricots (can’t wait to eat those!)
2 slices Ezekiel bread: 160
Deli ham: 50
Swiss: 100
Veggie-bean salad: ~150
5 chocolate-dipped apricots: ~300 (jeez, those apricots add up!)
Lunch total: 760
Breakfast was the best batch of bulgar I have ever made! I mixed in dates, almonds, and some sugar-free maple syrup. It was the tastiest bowl yet!!! I also sliced-up a kiwi, which I took an extra photo of because it looked so incredibly fresh and delicious!
All together…
1/4 cup bulgar: 160
1/8 cup sliced almonds: 70
5 dates: 120
1/4 cup sugar-free maple syrup: 30
1 kiwi: 50
Coffee w/ H&H: 40
Breakfast total: 470

How do you calculate the calories of the apricots. That just seemed awfully high for 5 apricots with just a little chocolate.

Anon,
I based the calorie estimate on 2 things: (1) my own guess (40 calories per apricot w/ approx. 20 calories of chocolate) and, (2) the following recipe, minus the chopped pistachios: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chocolate-Dipped-Apricots/Detail.aspx
It seems kind of high, but I think it’s a good estimate.
