Day 02: Fears & The Dark

Day 2! Unlike yesterday's meal, today's meal was slightly too much for me to handle. I have not taken into account that this may be one of my fears throughout this challenge — excessive food. However, I do fear that I may be taking into way too much carbs during this challenge and today's meal may just prove that.

Main meal - Roti canai (2pcs), RM1.00 each
Snack - Sponge cake, RM1.00
Dessert - 'Choco Mucho' chocolate wafer bar, RM1.20


As you can see from the list of food, there's been an overload of carbs in this meal. I actually had a hard time finishing that sponge cake. As I was trying my best to stuff that piece of cake down my throat and into my full stomach, a thought popped into my head. What if I bought excess food, such as that chocolate bar. Am I allowed to bring it over for the next day? Because the goal of this challenge is to eat healthy with a very low budget and not so much as eating until you're too full.

Hence, I do believe that this is enough chocolate for the week.

Spending wise, today's meal is much cheaper and filling compared to yesterday's meal as the total amount spent is RM4.20.  There's no receipts to go with today's purchase as I bought the cake and chocolate bar from a very old convenience shop tucked in a corner, which I have almost forgotten about until yesterday, and the roti canai from a nearby coffee shop.

However, the conclusion for today is that despite today's meal being very substantial, it is not as balanced as yesterday's meal and I shall have to think carefully about my purchases for tomorrow's lunch.

Also, I am literally in the dark. My room's light just went kaput while I'm typing this.
