Finally. Like all good things, this too must end. (In case you are just now joining me, I have been doing Buzzfeed's Clean Eating Challenge, and this is the final day.)
Some things about this plan overall:
1. It's not so "clean..." Eggs? I love them, but many people have food sensitivities to them.
2. Yogurt and Cheese? Ever heard of lactose intolerance? Tons of people have it. Not "clean!"
3. So much meat and fish. Way too much if you ask me.
I get it, this was supposed to be for people who maybe have never tried to eat healthy in any way before. This is not really for people, like myself, who have read pretty extensively about nutrition and eating right, are obsessed with their health, and have watched every single food documentary that exists. But, this is a much healthier way to eat if you are someone who looks at the recipes and thinks "I would never think of that" or "what's bok choy/fennel/overnight oats?" or something along those lines. It's also really handy that the plan gives you everything to eat/buy/cook daily. That was the main reason that I did it to begin with.
Breakfast: Scallion Omelet
Same as one day last week sans goat cheese…because SOMEBODY ate all my goat cheese (Danny!)
Still good without the cheese.
Lunch: Portobello Mushrooms with Tomato and Mint
Surprisingly tasty and filling.
Snack 1: ??
I think that I had a pear with almond butter…but I can't be certain because I didn't take a picture, I am writing this two days later, and everything went downhill after this….
Dinner: Not was I was supposed to have at all
I got to the end and I just could not bring myself to finish it. Danny asked what was for dinner. I grumpily told him it was the last day of the eating plan. I proceeded to pull out the snap peas, mushrooms, and tofu from the fridge. I looked at it and it made me feel depressed. So we went to Fickle for Happy Hour instead. It was amazing. I was so over this plan.
Snack 2: Pinkberry
Whoops. Total fail on my final day. Oh well. Ce la vie.
