Today's Salad-All Green

Today's salad is all green! Grabbing what's around the kitchen, this is what I made:

Contains:
100g romaine
135g chicken breast
75g cucumber
12 pieces mini sesame sticks
30g Newman's Lite Italian
345 calories, 14g fat, 4g carbs, 50g protein

Evaluation:
That's the entire day's protein! I can use half, or let's say 75g of chicken. This salad dressing packs 6g of fat but it is olive and extra virgin olive oil...considering making my own dressings. I can bump up the carbs and calories (when I reduce the chicken), so some additional veggies would be good. I like to eat my cheese in other ways and find it wasted in my salad, so I won't add cheese, don't need the protein because of the meat and the fat I want to get from dressing.

What if my daily salad looked like this:
100g lettuce
75g chicken breast, tuna, salmon, beef
100g of three different veggies
a bit of crunchy carb or nut or fruit
30g dressing
I'll call it "My Salad System"!

No walking today, did grocery shopping yesterday, so no walk two days in a row. I'll go again tomorrow, maybe a shorter route. Searching online for low-impact cardio workouts at home...rebounding! I have a mini-trampoline!
