    Breakfast - large mug of unsweetened tea
    lunch - bowl of vegetable soup with an egg on top
    dinner - pan seared salmon, roasted brussel sprouts and carrots, rice and wine

    No idea how many calories but probably under my TDEE

    Sounds good. Question: Do you use a boiled egg on top of the soup or break a raw one over the hot soup?

    Usually, once the soup is done I turn it down to barely a simmer and cook the egg on top. If I'm really hungry I'll fry the egg while the soup cools to put on top, but I've never tried a boiled egg.

    Aha. I wasn't sure if it was like a pho or similar where sometimes they put all of the fixin's like boiled egg on top or more like egg drop soup where the broth cooks it. LOL I'd love to see a photo if you remember next time you make that. I'm always up to try something new. ( :smiley:

    I'll try to remember. I have this pretty often. Egg on soup or egg on beans.

    My goal is 1530 and usually some exercise calories. Today I had:

    Mexican lasagna made with zucchini noodles
    Sushi
    Chocolate Halo Top ice cream

    @lulalacroix the mexican lasagna sounds good - do you have a recipe? And how do you keep it from getting mushy?

    breakfast is usually either a smoothie or overnight oats. today's was a berry smoothie with almond butter and hemp seeds.

    lunch today was veggie lettuce boats with marinated tofu and avocado + a thai peanut sauce. I'll probably have the leftovers for dinner because they were good and I'm still craving them.

    banana chocolate chip soft serve for dessert.

    I love using lettuce as boats! Have you ever tried using collard leaves? They make nice "rolls" and are a bit sturdier. I usually cut out the spine though because it's a bit tough.

    At the moment, I have eaten nothing. I have had 2 cups of coffee with cream & a bit of sugar.

    Lunch will be a low-fat/calorie steak & veggie enchilada.

    Dinner is a chicken/rice/veggie casserole that my family adores.

    All of this saves room for the saving grace of my day, a 4z vodka cocktail and 28z of Trader Joe's White Cheddar Cheese Puffs :D

    Yes! So convenient for busy mornings, just grab and go! Suggestion: invest in silicone muffin trays!

    A gigantic omelet for brunch.
    Skipped lunch due to a meeting.
    Dinner will be fish and rice, snack a yogurt and an orange and there will be at least one dirty Martini in the evening (also due to the meeting). Maybe two :-)

    Breakfast: oatmeal, pb2, banana
    snack: 16 ounce latte
    lunch: leftover crock pot pork chops
    snack: apple, tea
    dinner: (planned) grilled steak, salad
    snack: (planned) fresh pear

    Not as balanced as I'd prefer, but the fridge at work broke over the weekend and destroyed the entire week's worth of breakfasts and lunches I had planned for this week :(

    I don't usually use recipes, I just kinda successfully throw things together. You could probably google one. I replaced the lasagna noodles with thin zucchini slices. I usually let the zucchini sit in some salt for a bit, then rinse. The salt lets some of the liquid leech out. Otherwise the lasagna will be very watery. I also use a lot less cheese.
