11:35 - 'fajita' veggies - 61cal
1 small-medium onion (44cal), half a large bell pepper ( 1/2 * 33 = 17cal), 1tsp taco seasoning (0cal), 1/4 C water (0cal)

This is REALLY yummy. I was going to go with 1 onion & 1 pepper but the onion was so small 1/2 a pepper worked out better.

4:30 - salad - 216 cal
2 cups of lettuce (15cal), 1/2 chicken breast (110cal), 1/4 onion, if that (11cal), sprinkling of cheese (i estimate just under 1/8th of a string cheese in size, and those are 80cal, so 10cal) 1tbsp sour cream (30cal), 2 tbsp light ranch (40cal) - i found out my salsa had gone bad!!!!!

7:00 - taco salad - 106cal
I was hungry. All sorts of food options ran through my head. I almost grabbed my go-to snack...100calorie bag o popcorn. Instead, I cooked, and used up my leftover onion & bell pepper
2/3 onion - 44cal for a full one, so 29cal
the other 1/2 of my bell pepper - 16cal
1/4 of my box of mushrooms (2.5 servings in the box, 20cal a serving, so 50 cal for the box) - 13cal
i sauteed those with a bit of taco seasoning, deglazing with water.
Then, I took 2 slices of turkey (using up leftovers!), sliced it up and tossed it in too - 45cal
my dish was 103calories

I took 2 cups of lettuce (15cal)
and drizzled 2 tbsp of light ranch (40cal) - i REALLY want to mix sour cream & salsa for this. it'd be WAY better. sadly, my salsa turned FUZZY. :( i wonder what sour cream plus vinegar plus taco seasoning does? hmm..an experiment for tmw, perhaps

Then, I took HALF my fajita veggie mix and piled on top. Ta da! And I have 52 calories of veggies to use later or tommorrow for a snack! WOOHOO!

Daily Total: 383 calories
