Erica's food, July 26 2008.

I'm going to try to be better about posting.

Breakfast/Lunch, 12:30: Egg sammiches: homemade whitebread toast with butter, 2 fried eggs with 2 slices of American cheese. Glass of milk.

Dinner, 6:00: Lo mein Justin made. It contained Chinese noodles, yellow peppers, celery, shrimp, mushrooms, onion, and bean sprouts. Diet Pepsi Max.

Snack, 10:30: Some batter and frosting from making a birthday cake for myself. Just plain old white cake mix from a box because I wanted to try an avocado frosting recipe I saw on Good Eats. The frosting is pretty good and probably healthy, but if you don't like avocados it's probably not for you. Glass of milk.

Does anybody have an opinion on dairy? Is it good for me or is it evil? Because I tend to eat a lot of it. I like things like soy milk, but the particulate content makes my throat scratchy if I drink it regularly. Anyway, I prefer to bake with real dairy products.

I made my own birthday cake, too. That's kind of good, I think, because you get to pick which kind you want.

As for the dairy...I've heard that, in moderation, it's good (calcium, vitamins, etc) and may even help with weight loss somehow. Then again, what do I know?

Personally, my problem with dairy is that I go to the cheese factory, buy a bag of cheese curds, and eat half of the bag in the car on the way home, and the other half that night while I'm watching a movie or something. :)

My nutritionist advises that I have one serving of dairy per day. That is one glass of milk, yogurt, [likely not] ice cream, etc. Cheese is not counted as dairy, but goes in the protein and fat groups.

After having put the avocado frosting on a cake and eaten it, I would advise against it. It's too planty tasting and doesn't go well with cake IMO.
