Day 1

Dinner @ approx 8:30

Pollo! In Colombia they have excellent charcoal grilled entire chickens pretty much everywhere! A few are only electric-heater-grilled, but thankfully not many. A standard chicken comes with a couple of tiny arepas, a plate of boiled and salted potatoes, and a grilled plaintain. So, not the best of meals.... 
I had two legs, a thigh, and a piece of plantain (twice in one day! Argh) and called it a night (I have previously been known to eat an entire half chicken and all of the plantain in one sitting after Taekwondo or other exercise, so I actually showed a lot of restraint). 

The good: I have two flame grilled chicken breasts sitting in my fridge for tomorrow. 
The bad: I just had an incredibly nutrient-lite meal, and my second helping of ripe plantain. I'm also stuffed. 

To finish the day off and curb the intense chocolate cravings I'm sipping a cup of herb tea (I can't remember which one but it's nice). 

I'm not really used to eating dinner. I usually have such a late breakfast that lunch ends up being at about 3pm, and then I'm busy (working and martial-arts-ing) in the evenings. I usually just have fruit, a fried egg, or chocolate.
