HCG Diet Phase 4 Day 37

Weight 185.2

Wondering if the wild rice was the cause of the 1 lb jump.  Guess we'll see how it plays out over the next few days.  Perhaps I won't eat the second portion I made.

Breakfast - (422 calories)
Ham, cheese, and veggie omelette
1 egg
1/2 c eggbeaters
100 g leeks
60 g mushrooms
56 g Oscar Mayer cooked ham
28 g Tillamook Cheddar
2 tbsp salsa
10 oz coffee
1 tbsp half & half

Garden salad with lean turkey
84 g Fresh Express Sweet Tender Greens
120 g cucumber
80 g roma tomato
60 g kosher baby dills
120 g Foster Farms Hickory Smoked Turkey Breast
3 tbsp Marie's Parmesan Caesar Yogurt dressing

Dinner - (483 calories)
Chicken with Daikon Radish "Fettucini" with garlic Caesar Parmesan sauce
200 g (raw weight) boneless skinless chicken breast
1 4" to 6" length of Daikon radish
4 tbsp Parmesan Caesar Yogurt Dressing (Bolt House Farms or Maries)
1 tsp margarine
1 tsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic
pepper to taste
2 tsp capers (optional)
Sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese

If you have a spiral slicer, make fettucini noodles from the Daikon. If you don't have a spiral slicer, use a vegetable peeler to make long noodle-like strands down the side of the daikon. Place in a bowl of warm salted water for 15 minutes and drain.

Cut chicken in bite sized pieces. Heat olive oil and magarine on medium in a saute pan, add garlic and saute until it starts to brown. Add chicken and pepper, tossing occasionally until no longer pink. Remove chicken from pan, leaving any garlic, butter, and oil + juices in the pan. Put drained daikon into the pan drippings, saute lightly. Add back chicken along with the Parmesan Caesar dressing. Saute, stirring to heat through. Plate with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and capers.

I use the yogurt based dressing rather than alfredo sauce because it's less fat and I light the taste better. Could substitution any alfredo sauce, white sauce, or caesar dressing.
