My diary is public if you want to look. I eat pretty normally, I aim for eating my base calories and half my exercise calories, and I'm not vegetarian or have any weird food things (aside from a dairy intolerance).

I'm eating pretty simply right now...

2-3 pieces of fruit (2-3 cups) for breakfast
BIG salad with tons of veggies & 1/2-3/4 cup beans for lunch
1 cup of starchy veg (potatoes, corn, squash, etc), lots of steamed non-starchy veg and a bean soup or tofu or other protein for dinner.

That is, when I have myself together....

Here was my day today. My goal is to eat as clean/natural as possible, and cut out dairy.

Breakfast: Steel cut oats cooked in almond milk, walnuts, blueberries, black coffee and a plum.

Lunch: Stir fried carrots, snow peas and celery with chicken that was baked with lemon and garlic.

Dinner: Cranberry roasted chicken breast, steamed cauliflower, baked sweet potato chips.

Snacks: Blue corn chips, salsa, pumpkin seeds, tea

RMinVA

mine is public too...

Usually it looks something like this:

BF: omelette or fritatta and fruit, OR oatmeal and fruit, OR protein smoothie
L: salad of some sort OR leftovers OR soup/chili
protein and veggie and maybe a complex carb OR ?? (just depends)

Snacks are usually fruit, nuts, Fiber 1 bar or rice cake, yogurt, cheese, skim latte etc.

There are SO many great recipe websites out there. Just google the ingredients you have on hand and the word recipe. You might be surprised at what jumps out at you. A couple of my favorites are allrecipes.com and foodnetwork.com.

I try to eat lean protein, when I eat bread I eat pepperidge farm oatmeal , wheat . Veggies and some fruit every day. I love the wheat thin fiber crackers and fiber one bars. Every few days I try to eat almonds and have switched to silk almond milk. Have also got turkey italian sausage to make spaghetti also whole wheat pasta. Turkey breakfast sausage. Cheese I buy the low fat, sargento's.
This site has some really good recipes

Lately here is what I have been eating in a day...

Breakfast~ oatmeal, egg white on english muffin, bowl of cereal/2%milk/fruit, or a fiber cereal bar (this is a list of things I might choose, not all eaten together) )

Lunch~ (if I don't have an egg white breakfast...) Egg white w/ laughing cow cheese on rye bread or english muffin & Romaine salad w/ peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots and a vinaigrette. Sometimes I will have some baked tofu in the salad depending on what else I have for lunch. I might also have some rice/beans on a tortilla, or some sort of vegetarian meat and veggies.

Dinner~ some sort of vegetarian meat & veggies, a veggie sandwich, pasta/sauce, cheese/veg pizza, tofu & rice/quinoa, etc.

I eat a completely vegetarian diet and often also have green smoothies in the mornings (kale or spinach w/ fruits blended up)

Baileymqt

Thanks, I just did that. Now.... if anyone wants to see how BADLY I did yesterday, go for it! It was one of those days when I looked in the cupboard multiple times, the fridge multiple times, and the pantry multiple times (not to mention where I hide my chocolates!). :laugh: But I'm back on track today!

Newmammaluv

I've been losing pretty fast and pretty regularly and all I do is watch my calories and carbs. Any carbs I do eat I like to be as whole as possible even better with fiber.

Breakfast- 2 eggs in a million different ways
Lunch- a wrap or two
Snack- Usually a "treat" like a skinny latte or super dark chocolate
Dinner- 2 sides of veggies and meat
Snack- popcorn, peanut butter, cheese stick... usually I have to play catch-up and need more calories by this point in the day

I now just focus on eating 4-5 times a day, isolating carbs in the afternoon as much as possible and always always having tooonnnnsssss of water to drink. I'm never hungry, it never feels like I am dieting and I never go over 1500 calories a day.

MyNameIsNotBob

I was aiming for about 1400 calories today. (I didn't go to the gym). I had:

Breakfast: Coffee w/ skim milk & 1 tsp. sugar, and a peanut butter, banana, & apple butter sandwich on skinny wheat bread (450 cal.... a pretty big breakfast for me. I'm usually closer to 250).

2 c. water

Morning snack: Cup of low sodium spicy v8, string cheese (150 cal).

2 c. water

Lunch: 1/2 c. yogurt, 1/2 c. granola, 1/2 c. blueberries (260 cal.)

2 c. water

Afternoon snack: Espresso double shot w/ cream (140 cal.)

2 c. water

Dinner: 4 oz. salmon filet, steamed, 1/2 c. wheat orzo, 1/2 c. spinach, 1/2 c. blackberries (250 cal.)

2 c. water

Midnight snack: I always save myself a couple hundred calories, so I'll eat a handful of nuts or a granola bar & a cup of milk, or 1/2 c. of ice cream

2 c. water


I try to make healthy choices, but I'm not giving up everything I love... which is why you'll see things like coffee w/ cream & sugar, apple butter, and ice cream in my foods. I just make sure to budget in a little room for treats. I want this lifestyle to be sustainable, and it won't be if I cut out everything fun.

my diary is public, you can look. i'd suggest looking back at my last week though, i have had difficulty eating the past few days!

callipygianchronicle

My diary is public also. I don’t have typical days. But I do tend to make several portions of protein (salmon, chicken) or a large soup/stew and eat rom that throughout the week.

taso42_DELETED

My diary is open and I tend to eat similar stuff week after week. Rule of thumb - make each meal include a portion of protein, a portion of carb, and ideally, a portion of veggie.
