Yuck

While traveling home to Rochester last night, I thought I had planned ahead enough with some travel food – yogurt, luna bar, celery + laughing cow, and some almonds. (You’d think I was going to be without food for a week, but I left Winston at 1 and including driving to Charlotte, wasn’t home in NY until 10:30!) Turns out my 3 hour layover in B-more got the best of me, and I had to scrounge up some airport food. I got the fruit & walnut salad at McD’s which I love sans the weird yogurt/cream cheese like dip… totally easy to skip. But I wanted a little more protein and thought I’d try the Grilled Chicken Snack Wrap. My verdict: GROSS. At 270 calories, I’ll just take a regular burger next time. There was way too much sauce on it (ranch dressing), and too much tortilla. I felt like I was just eating wet bread. I tried to just eat the chicken solo but even that had a weird texture to it. So, after a few bites, I just gave up and ate my apples and those crazygood sugar-coated walnuts in the salad. Lesson learned!

Sbux: Not Just Coffee Anymore!

Last Tuesday I started the day with two really early groups, a 6:30 am class and a 7:30 am class.  Despite having had a Cliff bar and banana before I left the house, I was ready for breakfast #2.  I was having a meeting at Starbucks and discovered their new breakfast menu.  I was delightfully surprised by their “Perfect Oatmeal.”  It was the perfect complement to my skinny latte.

Perfect Oatmeal make the perfect breakfast

It’s 140 calories and came with a packet of 50 calories of brown sugar.  (Half was plenty to sweeten the whole bowl.)
