Food

The food here is pretty different than at home.  Not the actual food but the way that they eat. It takes some getting used to but, I think today I finally started to do it right. 
First, salad for breakfast.  Tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, sprouts, carrots, onion just whole on the salad bar and you do whatever you want with them.  But, no salad dressing.  You eat it with cottage cheese and/or this white cheese, that's kind of between Greek yogurt and sour cream. Some eggs and toast too if you want.  There's some cereal but no one really eats it.
Then, lunch.  This is supposed to be the big meal of the day.  Hot meats, rice/couscous, hot veggies.  Then lots (like maybe 12 different kinds) of different chopped salads. Always hummus. And bread.
Dinner is really light.  Rarely any meat. More hummus and bread. Fruit for desert. 
No snacks in between but that could be because of our situation.
Number one thing to get over is salad at breakfast.  (Now) I like that though...start the day out healthy, keeps you full but not stuffed.  Then you need to make sure you eat enough at lunch, otherwise dinner is very far away and unsatisfying.  Like I said, I'm starting to get the hang of it. Tonight is the first time I'm not starving for dinner.  They also seem to not think as much about what/how much they eat as we do but they seem much healthier.

Tomorrow starts work...
