1,134 Calorie Day of Chocolate Gingerbread Toast, Pizza and Burgers

Also wine.

I was aware in advance that pizza was happening for lunch, because I clicked ‘Yes, I Want Pizza’ when RSVPing for the lunch conference I went to today. Because pizza is great, that’s why.

Breakfast: Chocolate Gingerbread Toast 155 Calories

2 slices Pepperidge Farm Light Style Wheat (87cals)

3 tbsp Premium Chocolate PB2 (68cals)

Massive Sprinkle FlavorGod Gingerbread Cookie (0cals)

Jar full of Gold Peak Unsweetened Diet Black Tea (ocals)

I like to make my PB2 with more water than recommended, because then it’s more the consistency of frosting, and the sweet FlavorGod flavors are basically sprinkles. Best. Breakfast. Ever.

Yes, I eat my breakfast in my bed. I like to watch the news in the morning, and my roommates prefer sitcoms or… uncharacterized… TV? What are shows that aren’t sitcoms called? Dramas and comedies, I guess. And a couple reality ones too.

But I watch the news, so I do so in my room. I have a small table in there, but it’s always full of paper and books and various detritus because I am a gross bachelorette frog.

Lunch: Whole Foods Pizza 469 Calories

So I went to a lunch panel put on by the Medical School associated with the program where I’m pursuing my MPH. Fun Fact Alert: I’m the president of the LGBT+ Student Org in my program, and the panel today was hosted by our counterparts in the school of medicine. It was crazy interesting- two Deans of the medical program, both openly gay men, basically gave a historical perspective on the changing face of medicine in regards to LGBT populations. So one of the panelists actually specializes in psychiatry, and talked at length about not wanting to actually commit to psychiatry as a specialty when he was a student, because at the time homosexuality was still considered a pathological problem, which could be cured with psychotherapy.

One of the requirements in passing the Fellowship stage of doctorhood training was to basically analyze and cure yourself, so if he committed to psychiatry as a specialty, he would be committing to agreeing that he would be coming out the other side of his education as A Verified Straight Man. The other Dean actually holds an MPH in Policy and Law (my program!) who became a clinician in the face of the HIV epidemic. Anyway, they served pizza from the Whole Foods across the street.

I didn’t take a picture of my lunch, because I felt like a tool, so here is a screenshot of my MFP guesstimation. I had a piece of the vegetarian pie, and some crudites zucchini. The joy of pizza was actually overshadowed by the super interesting talk.

Dinner: BBQ Burger with Cheesy Buffalo Mash and Asparagus and Wine 432 Calories

This is a kind of veggie burger I generally don’t buy, the Morningstar Grillers. I don’t really like identity crisis veggie burgers, the ones that are trying a little too hard to be meat. So I usually stick with bean burgers, or just generally those who know what they are doing and who they are. Self affirmed veggie burgers. But this one was okay.

25g baby spinach (8cals)

1 Morningstar Farms Griller (130cals)

1 tbsp Safeway Brand BBQ sauce (35cals)

1 tbsp onion, chopped (6cals)

52g steamed asparagus (11cals)

I am super proud of this cauli mash. It was GREAT.

250g pre-boiled cauliflower (58cals)

1 wedge Laughing Cow Queso Fresco Chipotle (35cals)

Massive sprinkles FlavorGod Ranch, Honey BBQ, and Garlic Salt

All mashed together, aggressively, like, with serious gusto, and then I poured in Frank’s Buffalo Wing Sauce (0cals) in the tiny gravy valley I made on my plate. Oh, and also 7oz Pinot Grigio, 159 calories. You guys would be literally amazed at how I can now eyeball out exactly 7 oz of wine. It’s like… my super power. My acquired super power. So, you know, like a skill. Or a habit.

I’m going to have 2 cups of Boom Chicka Pop Slightly Sweet Popcorn while I watch the new season of Kimmy Schmidt tonight, so that is 70 calories, which brings out total to 1,134!

In life news, the next round of Stanley Cup Playoff schedules were released. And on Thursday, when my Washington Capitals have to face of against the stupid Penguins, I may lose my shit.

Hockey is v important to me.

Thanks for reading! You are all very, very pretty.
