Sashimi !!

I went to my favorite Japanese place tonight. Out of habit I ordered what I always ordered. Its a chefs special, always something different but served in a bento box. I love how all the food is separated into its own place , no sauce touching something its not supposed to. Today it was: three pieces of sushi, 4 wedges of orange, four little pieces of sweet potato, chicken teriyaki (about 1/4 cup), two pieces of shrimp tempura & two pieces of carrot tempura, with a bowl of rice and miso broth. I knew I was not going to be able to eat it all. I had about half of the soup, the fish from the sushi(i guess that made it sashimi) two wedges of orange(an 1/8) the shrimp and the sweet potatoes. I figured it out at home for the calories and am very happy to say it was 300 cals, 22gm protein and 8.3gm fat. Not bad if I say so. I chewed very well and ate slowly. I had them pack the chicken and some green beans from DH's dinner for lunch tomorrow.

I'm so happy I don't have a problem with Japanese food!! Im staying away from the rice, which I really don't miss.

I've only lose 14 lbs since surgery but over 40 since starting the journey. I'm happy with that.

Ok Im off to add my 2 cents to the boards.:biggrin:

PS is having the soup with dinner the same as drinking liquids?:confused2: Crap I didn't think about that.
