Yummy!
Had a pretty rough day today. Found out I have to have a special account set up at the university library to print stuff off there (our house printer was low on ink) so I couldn't print off the articles I needed for class, and instead of being embarrassed by failing to follow instructions on the second day, I decided to go ahead and skip, since it's only the second day and we're not deep into anything important yet.
Anyway, on my way back from campus, I had the overwhelming urge to cheat and eat at Guthrie's (which, for those of you who don't know, is a fried chicken strips fast food joint). I don't know why, but for some reason, ever since I started watching what I eat, Guthrie's has been my only severe craving, which is really odd because I never really ate there that often before.
I know it was an emotional impulse, driven by guilt from missing both my classes today and not getting nearly enough stuff done on my to-do list, but I haven't been so suddenly and overwhelmingly hungry in a long time. Still, I didn't cheat. I went home and started rummaging the cabinets for something to eat.
Since peanut butter (at least the peanut butter I have now) is much worse for you than I originally thought, I was scrounging for something else. Fruit? Bleck. Toast? Double-bleck. No milk for cereal. No veggies for salad. I was getting desperate.
Suddenly, I saw a couple of cans of albacore tuna in the condiment cabinet. I've seriously never had tuna in my life, and no one in my family eats it, so I had NO idea what it was doing in the cabinet. Thought, "People eat this stuff on sandwiches, right?" So I gave it a shot.
Opened the can and immediately thought of the rankest cat food imaginable. The stuff smelled absolutely terrible. Squeezed the fish juice out of it into the sink and tried a piece.
It was delicious. So....good!
So I wolfed down a tuna sandwich and a banana. Now I feel much better - I'm full and ecstatic that I found a new sandwich filling to replace my beloved peanut butter. And for only 2.5 grams of fat and 175 calories. Yay!!
Who would have thought stinky shredded fish would be the best thing since sliced bread?
Mmmmmmmm....
Snack:
- banana
- tuna sandwich on whole wheat
- glass of sweet iced tea (my first in over a week, I'm pretty sure...)

Laughed at this one. Tuna is a great staple. I find mixing it in with a spoonful of lowfat mayo and some finely chopped red pepper makes it more satisfying.
