HOLY CRAP! I'm sitting here enjoying my lunch of multi grain flatbread toasted in the oven, broken up into bits and dipped into hummus. It's my favorite, and I eat it 3 or 4 times a week. I was adding my points up and wondered how I'd gotten 2 pts for this bread (way back when I started counting points, and I haven't re-checked it since then.) I wanted to double check. It has a lot of bits of grains and nuts in it, and it tastes dense and ...well, damn yummy. I looked at the nutritional content - 250 calories in 1 piece! 5 grams of fiber, 5 grams of fat!! ACK! That's 5 points, not 2! So many of my previous days point calculations are too low.
I kept 1/3 of my currently toasting flatbread, but threw the rest out and took a piece of regular multi grain toast (1 pt) to dip in the hummus in its place. >sigh< Somethings are just too good to be true.
When I reach my goal, I'll go back to eating my fave flatbread. But I want to lose now. My boyfriend, his friends and I have a challenge going to see who can make the best progress on their BMI and fat % by the end of March. I intend to win.
I LOVE tea and if you love hazelnut, Stash makes a killer chocolate hazelnut decaf tea. So good with milk like you made the chai one. Look for it!
ReplyDeleteI will - thx!!
ReplyDeleteMilk= bad!! Step away from the milk!! Go dairy-free, it's where it's AT!
ReplyDeleteBut too funny, I just bought this same tea two days ago.
I adore milk. I can't give it up. Nor can I give up cheese. However, since we discussed this issue, I have cut out the yogurt (which was easy since I kinda hate it and was only eating it b/c it's a light lunch, easy to pack for work.) I've also tried and love your coconut milk, and I enjoyed that almond milk I used in the tea Friday. So I'm branching out. Still need that occasional big glass of organic skim cow's milk though. I crave it. I need it. I love it.
