Sticking to Skinny During Lent

Well, yesterday was Easter! You might say this post is quite overdue being that I'm primarily going to write about how I stuck to eating "skinny" during Lent. Probably would've helped, oh, 40 days ago-but who's counting, right?!

Let's get to it. This was the first Lent that I was actually full fledged eating healthy I had started slowly last Novemver, but wasn't nearly as strict on myself as I am now. Let me you first, I'm not a fan of seafood. Naturally, my go-to Lenten meals consisted of grilled cheese, pizza, mozzarella sticks, and macaroni and cheese. Clearly, I would be needing to find a better substitute for seafood on Fridays. After wracking my brain, I settled on Sushi. I went with the most mild option: California Roll (crab and veggies). I opt for the brown rice instead of the white rice for an added healthy bonus. Now, I'm sure you're thinking to yourself, "Britt, that's seafood." It is, but it's tolerable-with one additional condiment that is: enter, Frank's Red Hot. Zero calories, tastes delish! Many opt for soy sauce with their sushi, and if you choose to do so, I recommend the light soy sauce (green bottle).

1 pack of 8 rolls fills me up, and is only 180 calories for the entire thing! Bring it on! (I choose to go to Wegmans for my sushi-they have it pre-packaged with the calorie count right on the outside of the package.) If you are more of a "fresh is better" sushi person, Wegmans will make it happen.

Try it, you might like it!
