Keeping a food diary keeps you accountable, and also causes you to eat less, for many people. So I'm going to do it here, hopefully on a daily basis, because I hate logging each food into an app, and don't own a paper journal. Sorry in advance, because it's about to get real boring. 

 

Breakfast, prior to 16h night shift: egg sandwich with 2 slices Ezekial sprouted grain bread, 3 cracker cut slices of cheddar cheese, and 2 eggs. On the way to work, Venti Starbucks cold brew iced coffee, black.

Snack 1: 1 cup fresh cherries, and 1/2 cup of pistachios, shells on.

Solid start, hoping I can stay committed to keeping a food diary.
