This is what I ate today...

[Julee]

Just kidding. Making potatoes in a pan with olive oil and a bunch of seasonings. Mmmm.

[Saeleofu]

Ramen for brunch.

Biscuits and gravy for dinner, along with a pot of vanilla tea.

I've been considering trying some tuna with avocado as a snack for a couple hours now. It sounds soooooooooooooooooooo good and I got tuna and avocados at the store earlier. It's that or cookies, so...

Anyone know if boiled eggs freeze/thaw well? I'm trying to plan a way to make it stupidly easy to eat right. In the past the only thing that's worked was pre-making a freezing meals. If I could make a week or two weeks worth of food ahead of time, freeze them in individual servings/days, then it would be perfect.

I haven't actually tried it, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say no. Proteins generally aren't the greatest freezers. While it's in there it's constantly sublimating and depositing in very small amounts - the ice turns to vapor and the vapor turns to ice - which damages the proteins and causes them to become tough, chewy, and generally gross. Given that eggs typically have a high moisture content (even though the process of boiling them gets rid of some of that moisture, there's still some there), that makes them double bad for freezing. More moisture = more ice crystals, and things with high moisture just don't thaw well, anyway (think about frozen spinach or herbs).

They will keep for several days (I've even done up to a week before). I used to boil 6-8 at a time and just nom on them throughout the week.

I had another tuna and spinach salad. It's so yummy lol and I'm not really into salads most of the time.

I also had one slice of whole wheat bread with a tbsp of peanut butter on it.

not eating anything else before I go to my fitness class tonight. Supposedly our program this month is called combat :O sounds scary lol.

Had an avacado for breakfast since I didn't have time to make an omelette.

Lunch was sushi sashimi (tuna and salmon). Had that yesterday but the sushi place by my work has a half off deal right now.

Snack: Apple

Dinner.... Not sure yet

I want to reach in and steal your noms Equinox!!!

I guess I could make my own, lol I do have everything there... but where's the fun in that!?

Eggs don't freeze well. But they keep in the fridge at least 4-5 days, if not longer, and boiled eggs don't take very long. It'd be doable to make them every handful of nights
