Breakfast & coffee

  • Oatmeal with blueberries and honey
  • Two eggs, sourdough toast, butter
  • Latte and a croissant

Lunch & takeout

  • Chicken burrito bowl, no sour cream
  • Sushi roll combo and miso soup
  • Half a turkey sandwich, apple, chips

Dinner & drinks

  • Two slices of pepperoni pizza and a diet Coke
  • Grilled salmon, rice, roasted broccoli
  • Glass of wine
