I normally don’t do recaps of my weekend but this one’s about food and although I haven’t any photos to support the claim, I just have to look at the scale to remind myself of it! LOL.<\/p>\n
So, let us begin. This year, I wanted to start eating healthy-errrrr… And what I mean by that is: have the minimum\/recommended dosage of the FDA (which I heard recently have not<\/em> been updated since the 60’s!) in terms of whole grains, fruits and veggies. That being said, I <3 meat: pork, chicken, beef, duck, entrails, etc — so unless you see me returning home from the doctor’s office saying I can’t continue eating meat, I can’t give that stuff up and\u00a0become vegetarian or worse… *gulp*\u00a0vegan.<\/p>\n I’m trying to be mindful of the way my food is cooked, too; less deep fried\u00a0stuff and more saut\u00e9ed or grilled or baked but it’s really difficult to abide by these healthier methods of cooking<\/a>. I’d also need to get leaner meats but not too-lean cos I read a while back that there’s such a thing as protein poisoning (proteinosis). Anyway, let’s just jump right in to what I had (note that most Filipino food, not all and the ones that I have anyway, are high in cholesterol… EEK):<\/p>\n Thursday night Friday Saturday Sunday To sum up (too late), I was craving something deep fried each day. Ugh. Here’s hoping that this week will be better. I already began with some oatmeal and Yakult this morning. Tonight, I’m cooking some pre-marinated asada chicken breast and will add those to quesadillas. Ok, so it’s not as healthy as say, green salad, but I’m taking baby steps. ^_^<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I normally don’t do recaps of my weekend but this one’s about food and although I haven’t any photos to support the claim, I just have to look at the scale to remind myself of it!
