Runch time

After my bike ride I chugged a large glass of sugar-free lemonade.  I remembered that you can drink sugar-free and diet drinks.  Then for lunch I had the following:
1 slice bread (remember mine is the low cal so I have a little extra), 1/2 cup albacore tuna in water, and a cup of Oolong tea.  

First off I was shocked that a can of tuna is 1/2 cup.  That is protein to the extreme and definitely contributes to feeling contently full.  Since tuna is quite bland on its own I added a dash of pepper and Mrs. Dash salt-free seasoning blend in Lemon Pepper.  
The extra pepper and Mrs. Dash made the tuna tolerable.  I still prefer mayo with my tuna, but sometimes you have to just say, "I have willpower!"  This was actually my first time trying Mrs. Dash.  I see people at work use it and it's not bad considering it is salt-free.  The reason I chose the Lemon Pepper flavor is because it is suggested seasoning for fish, eggs, vegetables, shellfish, turkey, and tuna. The diet requires you to eat a ton of veggies (I'm already gagging at the thought of beat), eggs, tuna, etc., so I think this seasoning will come in handy.  The alternative was a butter spray, but I have a feeling I'm not allowed to use that for flavoring.  

Another large glass of sugar-free lemonade followed by the Oolong and that is lunch.  The verdict?  I feel content and am satisfied.
