6 candy hearts (my first of the season!)

Lunch:
A high calorie salad that didn't taste that great:
1 1/2 cups of spinach
1 1/2 cups of romaine lettuce
1/2 apple
1/3 cup red peppers
4 oz chicken breast
1/4 of an avacado
1/2 oz goat cheese
1 Tb chopped pecans
1 Tb craisins
2 Tb honey poppy seed dressing

Ugh. I don't know why but I had to suffer through this one. That rarely happens with me and salads. Plus, 613 calories! What a rip!
4:00 PM
Mid-afternoon snack:
1/2 cup fat free greek yogurt
1/2 cup blueberries
1/8 cup walnuts
1 Tb agave nectar
232 calories
6:00 PM
Dinner:
Everyone else had turkey burgers. This was my version:
1 turkey burger w/ some tomato, red onion, mustard and a little ketsup
1 1/2 cups steamed green beans
267 calories
I cannot remember the last time I ate a hamburger bun. Too many empty calories for me, even the 100% whole wheat ones. I'd much rather eat my burger with a knife and fork :)
Before bed snack:
1 cup of skim milk
1/2 banana
143 calories

Well, dang! I lost the game today -- I was over by 10 calories. No biggie... It was that stinkin' salad I choked down at lunch. Gag.

Your salads always look so luxurious, Mandi! Except for today, they always look like they taste great, too! I seem to never have enough of the good stuff around to make a good salad. What are some ingredients you always make sure to have in your fridge and cupboard to make sure you can have a good salad?
Agave Nectar - perhaps not so great: http://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/health/agave-nectar-healthful-or-harmful-106593
can I ask, all i hear about is how you need to have your stomach empty 3 hours before you go to sleep - yet you always have your before-bed/evening snack. what are your thoughts on the whole subject?
