I am looking for lean proteins, good complex carbs, low fat foods, and lots of fresh vegetables. I haven&#8217;t been getting enough protein so I really loaded it up for dinner last night. I have a  mixture of cooked grains mixed with fresh carrots, celery, cabbage and green onions dressed with a bit of rice vinegar. Lean chicken from the deli counter of the supermarket. And eggs! Yes, eggs. Notice they are quite pale? I used one whole egg and 3 egg whites to make these tasty, fluffy, light but packed with protein scrambled eggs. It was very satisfying.<\/p>\n<p>I have been inspired by Biggie over at <a href=\"http:\/\/lunchinabox.net\/\">Lunch in a Box<\/a> with all her wonder healthy bento box foods. So I jumped on the bandwagon. I had forgotten that my dear wife had purchased some Japanese lunch boxes a while ago. I took them out of storage and put them to use. You can see some leftovers here. There&#8217;s some of my seaweed and mushroom soup, fresh vegetables, more deli chicken breast and leftover cooked grain salad. Thanks Biggie! Now I just have to make time to prepare more. I was scrambling this morning to get this together.<\/p>\n<p><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/bp0.blogger.com\/_kufElHa-EkM\/R4QcBybzxRI\/AAAAAAAAATE\/QV1_e__nYj0\/s1600-h\/IMG_1882.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;\" src=\"http:\/\/bp0.blogger.com\/_kufElHa-EkM\/R4QcBybzxRI\/AAAAAAAAATE\/QV1_e__nYj0\/s400\/IMG_1882.jpg\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5153274690662548754\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been so bloated from all the parties and rich foods of the holidays.
