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

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!

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 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!

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.

tuna sandwich: whole grain bun w/ a little bit of honey dijon mustard, mixed greens and hummus. salad: mixed greens (arugula, lettuce, spinach) w/ boiled egg, cherry tomatoes and a tiny bit of balsamic vinegar. also, lightly sauteed zucchini.

the whole meal is roughly 420 calories.

Mung bean, spinach and tomato spanish omelette, with lettuce and cucumber with a dash of balsamic vinegar and a bit of grated low fat cheddar. 295 for the plate. Delicious.
