breakfast: eggs with mushrooms, tomatoes, and 'sausage'; coffee
snack: granny smith apple and cheddar cheese
lunch: sandwich - chicken breast, cheese, mustard; cukes
dinner: pork chop, plantains, black beans with green chilis and avocado, brussels sprouts
dessert: ice cream sandwich made with cinnamon graham crackers and coconut sorbet

i still have about 200 cals to fill (not counting exercise), so i will probably add in some popcorn, and maybe a piece of chocolate...

Breakfast was soft boiled eggs, toast, 2% milk with coffee, and pineapple.

Lunch was rotisserie chicken breast, yellow bell pepper, and a Kashi bar.

Snack will be an apple and 2% Fage yogurt with honey.

Supper will be meatloaf, turnip greens, and mashed potatoes.

I'll still have about 340 calories after that so I'll probably have chocolate milk and an ice cream bar.

Breakfast:
Coffee with milk

jkwolly, This is what I am eating, no one else has to do it, but the poster was asking for suggestions. Plus MyFitnessPal recommends I eat 1200 calories per day, but I guess everyone is different. You could easily eat more to add calories to your diet.

So far today-
oats, cooked in water, with brown sugar
stir fry with pork tenderloin, frozen and fresh veggies/mushrooms, olive oil and soy sauce. Cantaloupe

Supper will be a baked potato (baked with olive oil), topped with seasoned ground beef, veggies, cheese and salsa-it's a surprisingly good combo!

And then maybe some seasoned peanuts later one if I'm feeling hungry.

I had first and second breakfast today because of an early start lol. First breakfast was a whole wheat english muffin with a turkey sausage patty, poached egg, ultra thin slice of cheddar and dab of hot sauce. Second breakfast was a turkey patty with 1 tablespoon bbq sauce, baked red potato with diced onion, serrano and plain yogurt

Mahi seasoned with Old Bay seasoning and a vegetable medley on the side consisting of zucchini, cauliflower, broccoli, onion, and sweet mini peppers for lunch - that's all steaming in parchment packets in my bamboo steamer right now and smells delicious.

Dinner will be chicken breast stuffed with marinated artichoke hearts and sun dried tomatoes also maybe a little parmesan, then some asparagus roasted with garlic and either a little pasta with olive oil, garlic and red pepper flake or a sweet potato with serrano peppers and plain yogurt.

Snack so far is an apple. Will probably find something carby for another snack to make sure I'm not too low there.

Lexicpt

Tuna burger on a whole wheat bun with baked sweet potato chips and green beans.

I'm eating my low calorie lunch: 2 oz spinach, 4 oz of chicken, and 1 tsp lemon juice. Next time, I will double the spinach because eating it cooked shrunk it so much! (duh - but tell that to my brain in the morning....). Breakfast was 1 slice whole grain toast with 2 Tbs cream cheese and a latte. snack is yogurt greek yogurt with 1 tsp jam and 1 oz sunflower seeds. Dinner is eggs with butter and toast. I went to a conference and ate, and ate, and ate....

Everything is actually OK- tasty - but not for more than this week of getting back on track. Just saying....

I love these topics! Thanks OP
It's cold and wet out, so I got some turnips, butternut squash, 1 small potato, celery and onion, saved turkey stock, jalapeno, red pepper flakes, cumin, curry powder. I want to make a hot and spicy thick soup! I'm going to try to input it into "recipe builder" by adding in all the ingredients weighed out separately, then divide by 8 ounce cups. I have yet to do this right. grrrrr. But I will do this manually on paper, cuzzzz YUMMMERS. I've made it before, soooo good. Will probably have it with grilled chicken breast and garlic green beans. I can't have squat till i get my first workout in, so I got to get my *kitten* of this MFP and get that down..... "me procrastinating" I love talkin' food stuffs

higgins8283801

Crockpot chicken and rice (with corn and cheese) with a salad as a side

Breakfast I made scrambled eggs with onions, bacon and green pepper and put it in a pita pocket

For lunch I had a orange, raisin bread with some butter and a bowl of veggies with hummus dip.

I'll have some cottage cheese with pineapple at some point and of course a after dinner snack Of apple crisp and vanilla ice cream

Today is a really busy day with little time to cook. Lunch was yogurt and Bran Buds. Not really sure about dinner. I have some leftover roasted chicken, so maybe a chicken and bean burrito.

jky2000

You are all inspiring me.

I ate too many sweets this weekend and am determined to have a healthy day today.

Breakfast was oatmeal made with unsweetened almond milk and a handful of blueberries.
Lunch was a giant bed of spinach with 1 hard boiled egg, some herbed goat cheese, a roasted beet and a dressing of olive oil and balsamic.
Dinner will be homemade chicken curry with basmati rice and a side of bok choy.

After dinner is my worst time so I bought some peppermint tea today and will have that after dinner to see if that satisfies the cravings for sugar that I get at night.

kpk54

Steel cut oats and decaf with half and half for breakfast.
Salad of: spring mix, canned tuna, cauliflower and cabbage with chipotle honey dressing for lunch
Chicken piccata and mushrooms over pasta for dinner.
