Daily Food Journal

I have challenged myself to blog 31 days in February.  It is already the fourth and I am 3 posts short…so today will be a little full. ;)  I’ll do three blog posts today.  The first one, this one, will be an entry out of my own daily food journal.  For those of you who are curious as to what I eat…here you go!

Yesterday’s Day of Raw
When I first wake up I always try to drink as much water as I can.  This morning it was 3 cups of water.  Then I was in the mood for something sweet, but wasn’t that hungry, so I enjoyed a nice ripe pear, and a firm, juicy apple. A few hours later my daughter decided to make herself some chocolate pudding and my Pineapple Rightside Up Cake was looking delicious.  So we both sat down with our creations.  I polished off a third of my cake (one of the benefits of living alone), and she had two bowls of pudding.  After my workout I sucked down two quarts of water. About two in the afternoon I was in the mood for something chewy, so I grabbed three of my Raw Pancakes and nibbled on them while I worked on my computer.  After I finished most of my work, I made a huge Green Smoothie, filled three bottles full and ran out the door.  I needed to go grocery shopping and since my little girl was with her father I decided to shop a little slower and longer and enjoy myself.  I polished off all three bottles without even realizing it…sooooo yummy!  When I got home I decided to make a few dishes of food for the next week.  The first: “Where’s the Beef” & Broccoli…YUM!  I love this dish and it gets even better the next few days in the fridge while the marinade breaks everything down.  The second: a new recipe I’ve been working on: Ranch Veggie Baguette.  Now, whenever I work in the kitchen making food…I sample…a lot.  So testing and working on my foods filled my tummy.  Then in the evening, I try as hard as I can not to eat late at night (I don’t quite succeed at this quite often). So at around 8pm I got three bananas, and a jar of raw almond butter.  I enjoyed all three smothered in almond butter, and since the almond butter is very dense…it keeps me full longer.  All in all…a fabulous day.

Now I HATE counting calories.  NOT ALL CALORIES ARE CREATED EQUAL!!! Those 100 calorie “snack packs” are not the same as a 100 calorie apple.  Therefore I refuse to label the caloric intake of my recipes. I will let you know if it is high in calories if you are on some sort of diet.  However, the calories from my raw almond butter do NOT compare to the calories in a high fructose syrup – loaded peanut butter.  So…sharing my daily caloric intake is deceiving.  I have a very high calorie diet…yet most of it is water based, easily assimilated, nutritious foods that my body uses immediately. No storing, no extra time spent on digestion…since they all are loaded with soluble and insoluble fiber. But for those of you who are curious, here is this day’s calorie intake:

Apple – 72 cal.
Pear – 81 cal.
1/3 Pineapple Rightside Up Cake – 94 cal.
Green Smoothie: 481 cal.
Sampling dishes: 215 cal.
Bananas & Almond Butter: 1315 cal.
Total Calories for the day:  2258

This was a very light day.  I usually eat 2-3 times this amount of fruit…but my stores are low in my kitchen.  I will share what I am eating today as well. That will be another blog entry. ;)  I hope this was fun to read. Any questions or comments…please email me!

     About the Blogger

    Haley is passionate about Raw Food and how God has used it to heal her. She loves to share what she knows with anyone who is curious, and finds herself talking to everyone around her about her lifestyle. 

    God comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.  For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ. Even when we are weighed down with troubles, it is for your comfort and salvation! For when we ourselves are comforted, we will certainly comfort you. Then you can patiently endure the same things we suffer. We are confident that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in the comfort God gives us. (2 Corinthians 3-7)

    This Scripture applies to every area of  life that Haley is passionate about. In order to be grateful, confidant, and assured of anything in your life...it must be tested and proved. That testing is never easy and rarely pleasant...but it IS purposeful. She now can take the comfort that God has given her and share it with you. Amen!
