Day 3 of a full work day hit me like a brick! I ran out of energy fairly quickly, but the work still kept me engage more than some of my classes. Today was laid back with not too many patients coming in. In the morning I started work on finding healthy homemade recipes that patients could cook easily at home. The goal was to keep them low carb and careful of how much fat and sodium was included. A few websites that I used that were very helpful were oldwaysot.org and skinnytaste.com. Both sites were loaded with tons of healthy recipes that everybody could use. They also included the nutrition facts which were extremely helpful when deciding if a dish was going to be good or not when fitting the criteria. While looking for the recipes, I developed a new way of looking at food. Small amounts can be calorie dense and other food might not be that dense at all. It was quite interesting to see all the different combinations as well.
