Day 1 Lunch - Chicken Burger

So who starts a diet on a Saturday anyway? Yep, I messed up... big time. I ate the lunch but totally forgot to take a picture of it. Still working the bugs out of this journey. So this is the original menu for lunch - Roasted Tomato & Basil Soup, Corn & Spinach Salad and Yogurt Drink but I requested a substitution because I don't really like soups, I don't like tomatoes and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like a corn and spinach salad. So why sabotage myself early on. Just sub it out with something, so this is what I chose - Smoked Chicken Sandwich: Smoked, sliced breast of Chicken on Whole Wheat Bread, complemented by delicious Barbecue Sauce and served with a whole Orange. Well they were sold out of that one (aren't they supposed to cook the food on Sunday based on the orders?) and they sent me this instead -Chicken Burger: A grilled Chicken Patty served on a Multi-Grain Roll with tangy Barbecue Sauce & a Pear (well they subbed out the pear for an orange).

Now this meal was pretty good. It was alot of food. I was actually stuffed after I ate it so next time I will only eat 3/4 and have the rest as a pre-dinner snack. I don't want my stomach getting use to huge portions of food. I want this thing to shrink, not expand. Okay, so on to the taste. It was a bit spicy, not really hot but flavorful once again which I love. The multi grain roll was also good. They give you one little packet of bbq sauce which is just not enough. But I know sauces are the enemy and I have been captive by them for far too long. So I sucked it up and ate the drier than I prefer sandwich. The orange made it even better for me since I had it in between bites of the sandwich. It made the sandwich seem more juicy to make up for the lack of sauce. And I think the citrus went well with the bbq so I would prefer that over a pear any day.
I didn't get hungry for about four hours after I had this meal. I think I need to have something after this but before dinner because I get hungry long before I should have my dinner. Maybe I will add a snack of fruit if this feeling continues.
