Day 18 ... Greek Salad, The Never-Ending Tennis Match, and Spaghetti!

Breakfast
  • "Cars" Fruit Snack Pack (80 calories) 
    • I watched my friend's two-year-old, and I ate a pack when he did.  

Lunch
  • Mr. Greek's Greek Chicken Salad (312 calories) 
    • Jason and I joined his class at the restaurant Mr. Greeks... right off base. I wasn't sure what to order, so I decided a Greek Chicken Salad should be pretty good. It came with all the stuff I don't eat (tomatoes, onions, olives), but I loved the romaine lettuce, chicken strips, feta cheese, and dressing. The salad was huge, and I couldn't eat all of it! For counting calories, I used a generic greek chicken salad calorie counter. It was delicious, but a little pricey (over $10 for a lunch salad)! 

Dinner
  • Spaghetti at Lauren's apartment (Melanie's recipe)
    • I'm not even going to pretend that I know the calories for this meal! It was so good, but I have no clue what the calories are. I think Melanie told me a serving was 100 calories... must be a serving the size of my thumb!! It is good thing I just played tennis and burned 828 calories!
  • Half a Coke Can (70 calories)
    • I forgot to bring Diet Sunkist, so I drank one of Lauren's cokes. Not my first choice, but I was impressed that I only drank half of it! Usually I drink Diet Sunkist or Fruit Punch with zero calories.

Exercise
  • Elliptical (100 calories)
  • Bike (50 calories)
  • Singles Tennis (828 calories)
    • I had a tennis match... the best competition I've had in a singles match (ok, I've only played 3 real matches). 

Day 18 Summary

Calorie Calculator Total Calories: 698 calories

Amount I Could Have Eaten: 1676 calories

Food Eaten: 462 calories ... not counting Lauren's spaghetti!
