first day after Ramengdan

For lunch, I had a banh mi and some pork on rice noodles. And 2 Skittles.
I also had Coke Zero for the first time in... 34 days? It honestly tasted different from what I remembered. Less sweet, more chemically. Not to say that the Ramengdan food was all natural, but it was bland for the most part.

For dinner, I went over to Whole Foods, planning on getting a ton of beets.
I didn't even know what to do with myself when I saw that the salad bar had no beets. How is that possible?

I got some kale with raw garlic, orzo, 2 perfunctory falafels, and a bit of ratatouille. I also shopped and got some chips and salsa, yogurt, cherries, and blueberries.

I have no idea how many calories it all was. I'd guess between 2000 and 2500. I wouldn't say it distresses me not knowing, but it did throw me off. Several things at Whole Foods didn't have nutrition labeling on them cuz they were store-made. In the past, I've asked about some such items and nobody could tell me what the nutritional info was. I don't care that much, but seems a little weak for a chain trading on a healthy image.

I've gotten one too many compliments at the gym to not keep up the body work. I'm sure I've lost some muscle mass, but I assume most of the 20lbs I've lost is fat. I think I'll target 2000 cals a day and see where that gets me.
