In an effort to keep my hitting the "Return" key to a minimum this time, I've combined all my meals into one photo compilation. Top left is breakfast. Top right is lunch. Bottom left is snack 1 and bottom right is dinner. I forgot to take a pic of the Cappuccino pudding, but I will still post my review of it. Cherry tomatoes are very good. Omelette is average, could use maybe something to spice it up (maybe salt and pepper), but a good omelette overall. The gruyere cheese is good. I've never had it before. Oo, asparagus in omelette is a pleasant surprise; crunchy and flavorful. I think what's getting me here is the reheated texture of the egg. It's a little "stiffer" than if you were to go to a restaurant and have one brought to your table immediately off the skillet. Maybe also b/c it's a "souffle" omelet, perhaps that changes the texture of the omelet's shell. And the grain/wheat bread is very good.
Maple Glazed Ham Salad w/Diced Pears, Toasted Walnuts, Dried Cherries, Baby Lettuce & Raspberry Vinaigrette: Lots of delicious ham! There seems to be more ham than anything in this salad, which is cool b/c ham=protein! Pears are a nice touch. The dried cherries are huge and really good. The vinaigrette is also very good and tart. I feel full after eating this salad.
3. Snack (2:45pm): Cucumber Cup filled w/Herbed Cheese topped w/Capers
Yet again, another tasty snack!! It was served on alfalfa sprouts like yesterday's snack, but this time, no balsamic vinegar :( The cup itself was delicious, but I guess I could have done without the sprouts. I ate 'em anyways b/c I know they're good for me.
4. Dinner (5:45pm): Grilled Chicken Breast w/Fresh Chimichurri Sauce w/Maize Orzo & Sauteed Shitake Mushrooms
Overall, it was a good meal. However it was definitely not as delicious as last night's meal. The Chimichurri sauce was sort of smokey in flavor, but I think personally I was not a big fan of it. The Maize Orzo: this was the first time I've ever eaten this food, and it basically tasted like tiny little unseasoned fat rice sized noodles. Looks pretty, but personally I found it bland. The mushrooms were also a little bland. I guess I'm used to them being cooked in maybe a wine or something, perhaps these were and it just didn't come across. I'm not a chef so I can't tell ya for sure. They were good mushrooms overall, just lacking in the flavor department.
5. Snack 2: Cappuccino Pudding (8:45pm)
Very delicious! Now I know this Zone Diet thing is portion/calorie/40:30:30 controlled and all that, and the pudding was quite good, but it was such a huge portion of pudding I started to tire of it after about half the container. It came in a container the size of one of the regular snack containers and it was almost full to the brim. LOTS of pudding, tasted good, but too much!
