What I Eat

Question: What do YOU eat on a normal day?  I like to see all your ideas for what I should eat, but I want to know what you’re eating to stay healthy!

Answer: Obviously what I eat varies a lot, but here’s yesterday. Disclaimer: this is not a diet I’m recommending, it’s just the way I eat, for better or worse.

On a nutritional scale of 1-10, with 1 being the worst diet ever and 10 being the healthiest, I’d give this day a 7.  Plenty of fruits & veggies, but I ate more often than I probably should have, and really didn’t need the 9pm dessert, which was pretty large.
