Deep fried salad

It has been a very slow day today, and I do mean that literally. After my run yesterday my legs are KILLING ME!!  In an attempt to look at the bottom shelf at the book store today, I bent down in a squat, the leg pain kicked in and... i got stuck. Thank god Peter was there to drag my sorry ass back up to standing! I guess that is a down side of exercise.

On the food front I haven' started out to well. Of my  two meals today I have made exactly ZERO of them at home. But I have done my best to make healthy choices while out. 


For a very late breakfast we went to a newish cafe up the beach called Hightide. They seem to do a lot of free range, organic and gluten free options which is nice to see, we don't really have many places with those options around here. I had a Kumera and Chicken filo wrap - yum yum yum. It was so good!
Then dinner we tried out Boundary which is a local pub. Spicy  squid ring salad , a pretty healthy option i thought - except for the fact that they deep fry their squid...
So all in all my meals feel pretty healthy (if you ignore the half a box of shapes that I managed to consume)

That brings me to a question. Why do foods come in packaging with more than one serving? I saw this question asked on a friends facebook page today and it got me thinking (and unfortunitley I didn't see that until after i had demolished the shapes)  For example, the 180g box of shapes contains 7.2 servings of crackers. This means I consumed well over one serving. How many people would honestly sit down with a snack like this and stop at one serving.  Dieting/ healthy eating would be so much easier if everything came in single serve packets!!
