Day 5 Total: 1078 Calories

Wow! Cutting out soda drastically lowered my calorie count. In fact this is much lower than is good for a person. When a person doesn't eat enough food, it teaches their body that times are lean. After this, when a person eats more the body stores it as fat, for when times get lean again. This is why the "I don't eat anything" diets fail. A person will initially get thin, but then when they start eating regular they will actually put on more weight than they lost in the body's efforts to not starve to death. The key here is that I should have had something for breakfast, and maybe a mid-morning snack as well.

Breakfast:
Yes, I was terrible and didn't eat any real food for breakfast. Slap me on the wrist. I wasn't hungry, plus I find that a cup of coffee really does fill me up for a good long time. Also, I had the coffee at a neighbor's place and they make it with Half & Half instead of whole milk so there were a few calories added on there.

1 cup Coffee
3 cubes Sugar
1 tbsp Half & Half
1 Snickers Mini Ice Cream Bar

Lunch:
I ran out of 2% milk and so to prevent my whole milk (which I normally used for coffee) from spoiling I drank a cup.

2 Eggs scrambled
5 Leaves Spinach
3 tbsp Chopped Onion
1 oz Cheddar Cheese
1 cup Whole Milk

For cooking instructions see Day 1 Lunch. Then put the cheese on top of the scrambled eggs. If you make an omelet, put the cheese on top and then fold it over so that the cheese melts inside.

Afternoon Snack:
I bought some fruit at the store the other day. I didn't want it to go bad, so I hauled out the chopping knife and started cutting. Obviously I didn't just cut 1/8th of an apple and so on. Keep reading after the ingredients list for the recipe =D
1/4 tsp Orange Blossom Honey
1/6 Banana
1/6 Peach
1/8 Pink Lady Apple
1 tbsp Vanilla Lowfat Yogurt
1/2 tsp Golden Raisins
1 tbsp Whole Milk
Dash of Lemon Juice

First, make sure you have room in your fridge for six small bowls/teacups. Then, cut up your apple (I only had 3/4 of an apple which is why the different figure from the peach and banana) and your peach and banana. Split up into six small bowls or teacups. Add yogurt, raisins, honey, and lemon juice (this is to keep the fruit fresh). Stir all together. Save one serving to eat, store the rest in the fridge. When you're ready to eat, if you want to thin out the yogurt a bit, add the milk and stir.
