Day Eighteen: Test a New Restaurant

Yesterday I gained 3.3lbs bring my weight loss to 10.5lbs. I was expecting to gain weight but not that much. I've read that it takes 3,500 calories to gain or lose a pound, if that's true then I would of had to of consumed over 12,000 calories yesterday.  That didn't happen.  Most likely I had a reaction to one of the foods I had for dinner.  No worries, I'll lose the weight I gained by Wednesday.

I veered away from the book yesterday so here are the highlights of what I was suppose to have had:

• For breakfast one of the following:
• flax granola with approved fruit
• flax granola with approved cereal and approved fruit
• smoothie with chia seeds and rye cracker with nut butter (1 cracker women, 2 cracker men)
• For lunch spicy chickpea spinach salad and butternut squash soup.
• Snack is salt free potato chips and guacamole (1oz & 1/8 cup women, 1.5oz & 1/4 cup men)
• Diner is one of the following:
• Test a restaurant
• Any approved protein, any salad, test a new cooked vegetable
• Dessert is creme brulee, chocolate deserts, biscotti, or fruit with whipped cream shared with a dining companion.
