| I had to do a double take at the food choices, myself.
In general, my day looks a lot like this:
Breakfast: one trail mix bar or container of yogurt, coffee. (I am not a big breakfast eater)
Lunch: Varies, but might be a can of vegetable soup, with a salad; a wrap sandwich w/ low-carb wrap and good lettuce on the sandwich; homemade curry chicken salad with a few crackers on a bed of lettuce.
Supper: Also varies, but salad usually starts the meal. LOL. Baked or broiled fish with broccoli maybe, or if we go out, I get something with salad in the name.
For snacks, I'll eat a handful (not 2 or three) of nuts, a piece of good Swiss cheese, a container of s/f Jell-O, a slice of deli meat or a s/f fruit popsicle.
Not that I don't eat the occasional cheeseburger and fries. Fries don't bother me, even several hours later. But I limit my intake and eat 2 bites of the burger with the bun. Then I take the meat off and eat it.
I'm still gauging what kind of fruit I can eat that won't spike my BG. However, when the peaches come in this summer, I don't care. Peaches are my absolute favorite fruit and a late freeze killed them ALL last spring. I'll just have a peach for lunch and not worry about it. LOL.
