Daily Tidbit:  Calories from Sugar add up fast!  If you are looking to cut some out of your day (that is one change that helped me drop pounds!) check out this article for ideas on how to cut a whole cup out of your day AND the 728 Calories that go along with it!

Vanilla Almond Cereal & Walnuts




Breakfast: Cereal & Fruit
1 cup Newman's Own Vanilla Almond Cereal
1 cup Fat Free Milk
2 tbsp Walnuts
5 oz. OJ
Regular Coffee, Black


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Burrito: Beans & Cheese, microwave 30 seconds to heat
Burrito:  Add tomatoes & Avocado
Bean Burrito with Avocado, Cheddar & Tomatoes!


Lunch:  Bean Burrito
White Flour Tortilla
Vegetarian Refried Pinto Beans
2 tbsp Cheddar Cheese
fresh diced Tomatoes
1/2 Avocado
Water with Lemon
Regular Coffee, black


Interestingly the White Four Tortilla I had today was 100 Calories and the Whole Wheat Tortillas I typically eat are 130 Calories.  The Whole Wheat version has twice the Fiber of course, and 2 more grams of Protein, but here is another interesting tidbit:  the White Flour version has HALF the sodium!  Only 160mg compared to the 300mg in the Whole Wheat Tortilla.  And there are also 7g less Carbs in the White Flour and less Sugar to boot.  We know that Whole Grain is typically the 'healthier' way to go, but I guess it really depends on your priorities....wanting to lower Sodium, Sugar/ Simple Carbs or cut Calories would all point to the White Flour Tortilla in this case!
