Dinner

For dinner I made spaghetti and meatballs.  I used some spaghetti that is high in fiber and other nutrients.  I made the meatballs from 90/10 ground beef and then baked them on a rack so any excess fat would drip down onto the pan.  The sauce is a homemade marinara but I need to check on the crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce that goes into it to see if it has added sugar.  I don't think they do. 

I also made a caesar salad to go with it.  I use 1 part caesar dressing mixed with 1 part chicken stock.  I added croutons which don't have added sugar but they are not low cal by any means.  Then some shaved parmesan.

I didn't calculate all the calories.  And I are more than I should have cause I was quite full afterward. I didn't take seconds but I guess I just started with too much.  I did have seconds of the salad but I asked my husband to give me some more and I really just wanted a bit more lettuce to go with my extra croutons but he gave me another helping.  I was distracted by a kid and didn't specify what I wanted.  I proceeded to eat it all cause it is super yummy. 

 

I ate too many snacks today.  I ate 100 calories of almonds, 50 calories of veggie straws, and a small banana.  Then after dinner at the ball game I ate about a half cup of dried cereal I brought for my 4 year old but he didn't want.  I feel like eating a bowl of cereal right now.  I feel hungry.  But I am not going to let myself because that is too much and it is late.
