Can't stand logging in MFP

It is way too time consuming to log everything in My Fitness Pal. I am over it, and honestly even though I make healthy decisions I am focusing way too much on calories. So I am just going to log my food here! I have given up soda completely and Juice. I stick to water and tea...okay, so mostly teas. Unsweetened, of course.


Breakfast:
1/3 C steel cut oats mixed with: 2 strawberries, 5 blackberries, 2 grapes a dash of cinnamon and salt
Unsweetened Tea

Lunch:
Probiotic- I use Gaia Source probiotic and keep it in the fridge. It works wonders!
A bowl of Kale salad (Recipe at the end of the blog)
Strawberry Smoothie: 1 Cup Almond Milk, 1tbsp Almond Butter, 1 Banana, handful of frozen strawberries, Maca Powder, 1tbsp Chia Seeds

Snack:
Homemade Bistro box: 1 boiled egg, 6 slices of cucumbers, 3 slices of apple, 1 small slice of pepper jack cheese, 6-8 grapes, dollop of almond butter, 2 celery sticks



My Cheat: eggless cookie dough...ugh I gave in!

Dinner:

I am 25 weeks and 2 days pregnant
