DON’T EAT THE CARROTS

Yuck. My carrots are turning into this goo, I had to throw it away!

Breakfast:
1 Banana – 105 calories

Lunch:
Beef Tapa with Sauteed Spinach and Honey Barbeque Sauce – 265 calories
1/4 cup of brown rice – 55 calories

Snacks:
45 grams of Raisins [Ram] – 150 calories
*I’m actually very proud at myself considering that since most of my friend are eating their McDonalds, I restrained myself to eat only my raisins which was a really really big achievement

Dinner:
Marie’s July Salad minus the carrots – 52 calories
Karaage Pop [Tori Box] – 286 calories
*I added some chicken kara age pop to add more flavor and protein (though I’m not even sure if this is healthy since its fried… HAHAHA any thoughts?)

That’s it for today,

Cheers,

The Paleo Dorm Diet Day 3

I seriously now have a problem with naming my posts.

Forgive this really really sluggish writing but I’m definitely tired so I’d probably hurry this one up!

Breakfast:
Marie’s Ultimate Paleo Salad (MUPS) – 79 calories

Lunch:
Filipino Beef Tapa with Honey Barbeque Sauce – 224 calories
1/4 cup of brown rice (Just to balance out the bbq sauce) – 55 calories

Snacks:
KFC fun shots – 150 calories (okay, this was a mistake but I needed to sit down and KFC was the only place that was available! Besides, its protein!)
Banana – 105 calories

Dinner:
MUPS – 79 calories

Total: 692 calories

I really don’t know if that KFC Fun Shots is okay for the diet, but since it’s meat then I guess it’s okay? HAHA this will be the death of my diet! Hoping though that this still brings out some good results!

Only time will tell.
Cheers,

Marie’s Ultimate Paleo Dorm Salad

Juggling the stresses of college and nutrition is tough – especially if time is of the essence. Which is why I’ve invented this salad to last me a week in the dorm.

For preparations, I started browsing the vegetable section of my grocery to find the ideal ingredients for the salad. Here’s what I bought:

• 1 big cabbage I actually made a mistake of buying cabbage instead of lettuce. Facepalm
• 4 pcs of cucumbers
• 4 pcs of carrots
• 2 stalks (?) of brocolli
• 2 Fuji Apples
• 1 pack of grapes
• 250g pack of raisins
• Teriyaki sauce this was really more of an experiment since I don’t like the salad dressings and I LOVE teriyaki

After preparing everything, and as I’m writing this down, I realize everything I bought can fit SIXTEEN meals! And I plan to eat this every breakfast and dinner!

Now here’s the challenge. I don’t own a microwave, I don’t have a stove. And so far, I only have a water heater (because COFFEE). It’s my first time doing this so I really used up my Trust me I’m an Engineer(ing student) tactics and actually used my water heater to steam up the carrots and brocolli!

 Boiling some brocolli in my water heater. I bet my coffee would taste like brocolli from now on…

I then chopped up the cabbage, sliced the cucumbers, brocolli and carrots, and placed them in different containers to store in the fridge.

So each salad consists of the following:

Marie’s Ultimate Paleo Dorm Salad  

• 1/16 of a cabbage (chopped up) (I sliced the cabbage into half the chopped one half, and got a quarter from what was chopped off)
• 1/4 cucumber
• 1/4 carrots
• 1/4 brocolli
• drizzle with teriyaki sauce
• option to add tuna

Total calories: 79 calories (+tuna)

For the snacks, I have three options:
Option 1: 30g raisins – 100 calories
Option 2: 1 banana – 110 calories
Option 3: 1/8 of an apple + about 10 pcs of grapes – 25 calories

And now it looks so idealistic since it’s so low! And this is why I have trust issues HAHA!

Let’s see in the future if this works! See ya!
Cheers,

Marie!
