What do your meals look like? (Let me see pics)

I have a weight loss blog and have been taking photos of my meals for a few years now.
These are some past photos and I don't have the nutritional info for them.
The first pic is an omelette made with egg whites (from when I was afraid of eating yolks ... lol), green onion, spinach & mushrooms.
The middle photo is of chicken breast, shredded cabbage, onion, red pepper & zucchini stir fried in olive oil.
The last photo is of homemade lentil stew over quinoa.
I no longer eat quinoa or lentils but this meal sure was tasty at the time!

Roast chicken breast with a bit of skin, pesto peas, and tomato, cress and spinach wholewheat couscous.
I had a massive portion and its all quite high in fat so a whopping 495 for the plate but I went for a good swim today, am under on calories and only 2 points over on fat, so I enjoyed it, especially the skin >:-)

yeah...that couscous is so going to be on my dinner table one of these days...:glasses:

My breakfast, lunch, and dinner yesterday lol:


3 egg, cracked pepper turkey, onion, bell pepper, mozarella cheese omelette - 558cal, 6g carbs, 47g fat, 37g protein.


Seasoned, grilled chicken breast (8oz), Spinach salad with 1/2tsp Grey Poupon, 1tbsp Kefir Yogurt Ranch, and 1/4 cup mozarella cheese - 295cal, 3g carbs, 11g fat, 46g protein.


Meatza!! 95/5 italian seasoned ground beef, mushrooms, bell peppers, red onions, mozarella, and pizza sauce - 297cal, 2g carbs, 16g fat, 30g protein. That's 1 serving, I ate 1.5. Next time the meat will be rolled thinner...as the flavor, texture, and pure amount of hamburger was overpowering lol.

They're a type of cartoned egg. Basically they're egg whites with some coloring aded I believe.

For myself...I just eat the whole egg =D.

I made a meatza today too! That's so funny that I never heard of it before yesterday and come here to post about it and there's one here already!
Mine was 1 lb 96/4 beef, no salt added tomato sauce, shredded mozzarella, broccoli, onions, and 4 kinds of peppers.
424 cals for half of it (that's half a pound of beef, very filling!), 11 carbs, 14g fat, 56g protein, 3g fiber and only 264g sodium!

This looks yummy. And the plate is really pretty. I think I've seen it online before.

Now I'm hungry! lol

Having just learned of "meatza" I decided to try some for dinner tonight.
I didn't have all the ingredients on hand so I winged it.

197 g lean ground beef, mushrooms, no salt added stewed tomatoes, s & p, garam masala, garlic powder with a cheese string melted on top (hey, I winged it! lol) -- 520 calories, 8 g carb, 34 g fat, 48 g protein -- not including the asparagus and butter

Thanks for the idea, crisanderson! It's delish!

eta: I just saw the thread where this is introduced. I guess I made mine more like casserole. :blushing:
I'll follow the rules next time. :happy:

What a fun thread! I like that fresh veggies and fruits look so appetizing. We should all try to eat our rainbow everyday.

Thanks guys...I didn't come up with Meatza though lol. I just tried it for the first time last night =p. I saw the pictures on Mark's Daily Apple...then was reminded by the thread here on the board, so I decided to try it.

Pretty good stuff.

I used an 11"x17" pan, but next time I think I'm going to use a slightly larger one to thin the meat out. 2lbs of hamburger made 8 servings about 4" square or so...and 1/2"-3/4" thick...LESS the toppings. I'd like to get the meat closer to 1/4"-3/8" thick, in order to keep it from overpowering the flavor of the toppings. That way also, I could maybe eat two servings rather than literally FILLING up on 1 and a half lol.

On the chicken/salad...it IS good! For seasoning I use a tiny bit of McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning, along with the original and table versions of Mrs. Dash seasoning. Grill it on the George Foreman, toss my salad with half a teaspoon of Grey Poupon, then add cheese and ranch.

SERIOUSLY good =p.

By the way, the plates come from Wal Mart lol. They have a couple different similar patterns I think.

Such a great idea! This is 3 oz of grilled chicken breast (97 calories) over:

1 bag baby spinach, 1 package baby bella mushrooms, 1 can Rienzi cherry tomatoes (or use fresh), 1 dried habanero pepper (if you like it hot!), sauteed with 1/2 tbsp olive oil and garlic.

The Spinach/Mushroom/Tomatoes is 59 calories for 1/4 of the whole thing!

So, you could have two of what's in this photo for 312 calories. And it's delicious!

-Why no more quinoa or lentils?

BUMP! I would like to read this later!

-Why no more quinoa or lentils?

Grains, seeds and legumes cause me to experience too much intestinal distress.
I also don't do well with starchy carbs ... they lead to binges for me.

I would definitely make this meal. It looks and sounds delicious. I might add some balsamic vinegar while sautéing.
