    It is a haven't-bought-groceries-yet day so I'm working with what we had on hand. I am making something similar to this recipe in my slow cooker-> allrecipes.com/Recipe/Sour-Cream-Mushroom-Chicken/Detail.aspx?event8=1&prop24=SR_Title&e11=chicken%20stroganoff&e8=Quick%20Search&event10=1&e7=Recipe&soid=sr_results_p1i7
    We will have rice with it.

    Breakfast: I had 3 homemade oatmeal/protein muffins (with a few chocolate chips baked in!). Snack 1: chicken muffin and 4 oz. sweet potatoes. Lunch: 4 oz. chicken thighs seasoned with southwest chipotle seasoning, 4 oz. sweet potatoes, and yummy green beans cooked in a little chicken stock. Snack 2: chicken muffin and 1 cup of those green beans. Dinner: Tilapia foil baked in onions, lemon and tomatoes, brown rice and roast garlic/parm zucchini. Dessert: a protein mug cake recipe I found on Pinterest...so good!

    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.

    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.
