As I mentioned before in my older posts, I am a very healthy person during the week days and I like to stick to my routine. I mean routine in all sense. Eating habits, timing of food, work plan, everything has to be planned and well done. (Maybe this seems so wrong for you, I just got used to it!).
Two days ago, I had a meeting outside the office, I thought it will be an affair of an hour max, so I can go home later on to rest and have lunch, then back to the office.
But, people were insisting on me, I had to go with them for lunch.
They picked a Lebanese restaurant, and you know the Lebanese food variety! And the amount of olive oil it contains.
I wasn’t hungry a lot, but I ate, can’t resist the good food 
The most important thing is the food choices, I knew in advance what to chose, so it was fine for me to break the routine once in a while (I usually prepare healthy and light food at home)
Here are the food items that I ate:
- Vine leaves in olive oil: I took 2 pieces
- Eggplant moutabbal with olive oil: I took 3 tablespoons
- Fattouche without the bread: I took 4 tablespoons
- Shish taouk: I took 5 pieces
- 1 diet coke
- No bread!
In average my lunch was about 450 calories. NOT BAD 
HERE ARE THE FOOD CHOICES PICTURES:
Hi Mira
I really love your blogs and it really motivates me to lose weight. specially when you put the pictures and specify the calorie count and quantity to be eaten against each item it really helps a lot so that i know how much i need to eat the next time I have that food.
Really appreciate your work. Thanks
Hi rekha,
M glad to hear that, and hope ur following the tips.
Don't hesitate to ask me whatever u need:)
is HUMOOS a healthy food??
Can you recommend the most healthy arabic food.
Mainly lebanse cuisine is healthy. Eating healthy is different than eating low calorie foods.
hummos is healthy, it is counted as carbohydrates, so don't it eat it w a lot of bread.
Fattouche, tabboule, moutabbal, hummos, vine leaves, shish taouk, beef kafta ( not veal) All these are healthy food choices.
Don't eat a lot of meat or chicken liver, it has a lot of fat and cholesterol.
Hey Mira
How you doing today? Mira I am very fond of having Hazelnut hot chocholate from starbucks and when i go out I am always in two minds to have it or not but then I end up having it and then feel very guilty about it. Could you let me know the calorie count in it.
Thanks
Rekha
Hi rekha, m good thank you.
Hazelnut chocolate is not that high in calories if you order it with skim milk, and you order the tall portion.
So this one, has around 150 calories, so if you feel you want to take it everyday, it is fine or you can have it once every 2 days:)
You know, I have to tell you, I really savor this blog and the great insight. I find it to be refreshing and quite instructive. I wish there were more blogs like it. Anyhow, I finally decided to write a comment on
ONE RANDOM LUNCH – - I just wanted to tell you that you did a sweet job on this. Cheers dude!
thank you sooo much!!
Good read. I'm surprised I have not seen this post before. I am saving your site. Thank you again.
Nice one! If I could write like this I would be well chuffed. The more I see articles of such quality as this (which is rare), the more I think there could be a future for the Web. Keep it up, as it were.
Good post, I bookmarked your blog post so I can visit again in the future, Thanks
Hi - I would like to say thank you for an interesting site about a subject I have had an interest in for a long time now. I have been lurking and reading the posts avidly so just wanted to express my thanks for providing me with some very good reading material. I look forward to more, and taking a more active part in the discussions here, whilst picking up some knowledge too!!
I need to subscribe or something to your site. You are a good writer.
i was starting to imagine i may well be the only man that cared about this, at least at this point i realize i'm not insane
i will make it a point to check out a couple of several other articles soon after i get a tad of caffeine in me, it's rough to read without my coffee, I was until the wee hours of the morning last evening practicing myspace poker and after downing a few brewskies i wound up giving up all my zynga poker chips take care 
Hey Mira
i just finished reading your post, and to tell you the truth i loved it it gives a great insight and helps people to be educated in their day to day life on their food selections and i think that what people need, to sink in a healthy way of life and not to take for granted every portion they eat in excess of what do they really need, and we all know that their is nothing is for free in this life especially the fat that builds up and could be life threatening,
again i say thumbs up you are doing an amazing job, keep it up and kisses and lots of love from Beirut city
Dibo!! Thank you a lot!! M hyper glad that you like it dude!!
