Bag o' stringy beans

I am enjoying the budgeting aspect of keeping to 2500 calories. A light lunch and a 4x vegetable serving at dinner allowed me two relatively satisfying evening snacks.  It's satisfying know despite the questionable accuracy of some of my calorie counts, when I'm ready for bed I feel un-full, not so much hungry but can definitely eat a meal if presented. Hopefully this level of hunger will be enough to lose weight, for now.

TODAY'S COOKING
Cherry Sorbet Components: Got a mass of cherries from the CSA, which I combine with the cherries I got from the market yesterday. Pitted, simmered, blended for about a quart of pulp. Made a quart of sorbet syrup, which is water, sugar, corn syrup, gelatine and some sour salt. Also made some cooked merengue out of egg whites and sugar. After chilling all over night, will combine tomorrow and churn.

TODAY'S COUNT: 2490

AM SNACK: 8am, iced green tea, 25 cal


BREAKFAST: 9:45am, smoothie, 390 cal
Kinda thought this would be more calories, it seems kinda decadent, sweet, fruit punchy, cold, thick and smooth.

LUNCH: 12:45pm, shrimp patty, vegetable patty, 690 cal
Tasty fast food from Golden Krust. Could easily down a third. Vegetable party suffers from canned peas and carrots, should have gotten the soya or spinach.

DINNER: 6:15pm, chicken garlic & herb sausage, turkey Italian sausage link, 1.5 ears of corn, steamed bag of string beans, 8oz of beer, 970 cal
Got a bag of string beans, as the loose stuff at the market looked a bit sad. The whole 12 oz bag was 4 servings, but I ate the whole thing, only 100 calories. Just zapped it in the micro for 2 minutes, came out perfectly just slightly steamed.

EVENING SNACK: 7pm, watermelon, 175 cal

EVENING SNACK: 10pm, popcorn, 16oz diet sprite, 240 cal
1/4 cup popcorn kernels, 1 tbsp peanut oil, dash of salt, actually makes for a satisfyingly large bowl of popcorn.
