You want a meal plan for an entire week or a day?.... those are really close to my calories actually so I guess I could just show you what I would eat in an average week but I cant do it tonight as Im totally exhausted!

lots of peanut butter, cheese, nuts, avocados, cream cheese, brown rice, fruits (bananas high in calories), yogurt

hope some of that helped

Grilled chicken, fish, steamed vegies, fruit, fiber bread, etc. There are so so so many things you can eat. Try to stay away from processed foods or foods with lots of sodium. Fiber and protein always fill me up.

Elle this is mine for about that so you can see.

5:30- breakfast- 2 slices 100% whole wheat or sprouted grain bread
1 large egg
1 slice turkey bacon( I use the thick nitrate free from Trader Joe's)
1/2 caff coffee with xylitol & half and half

9:15 snack/meal 2- 1 small apple chopped w/peel, 1/2 cup fruit yogurt(no sugar added, fruit sweetened), 1/8 cup walnuts, 1/8 cup rolled oats- make a parfait.

12:15 lunch- Either a can of healthy request Campbell's with whole wheat crackers and sliced raw veggies with fat free dressing, or a Lean Cuisine type meal with the raw veggies and sometimes a small orange or pear. I also cook a pot of beans and have a cup of bean witht he veggies and fruit some days.

3:30 snack/meal 4- whole grain pretzels 1oz, 1 tbsp all natural peanut butter, and 10 baby carrots, (or similar snacks).

6:30- dinner- 4-6 oz of lean chicken, pork, fish or 3 oz lean beef, about 3 servings veggies, and 1 serving starch like potato, brown rice, whole wheat or high fiber pasta, or sweet potato.

8-8:30- Snack/ Meal 6- Some type of whole grain cereal 1 serving- always high fiber, raisins, almond milk, and if I have the calories a banana or some peanut butter depending on what I need either carb or fat and protein.

If you need any more meal ideas ask away I am at 2080 calories with about 300 exercise calories most days.:flowerforyou:

Diet49 I totally disagree. I eat those calories daily and feel very full most of the day. I start getting hungry close to my meal times but I am never uncomfortable. I think it's all about picking the right foods to feel full and nourish our bodies, whole grains with lots of fiber, fresh veggies, and good lean proteins. Cut the refined carbs they make you crave more and you feel less full because you get so little a serving for the calories. Also a good amount of good fats like nuts and olive oil. :drinker:

Diet guy keeps suggesting a 2-3 week lettuce diet...that is a very extreme measure and I would only do that with a licensed medical doctor's input.....

follow the advice and guidelines from this site....

Today: a first. I saw a negative post on MFP. It made me sad. Who is this diet49 and why are they so mad?

Hey diet: this is a place for respect, support, positive comments. Negative speech is unwelcome.

I promise it's not a first....:grumble:

On days I work out super hard I sometimes get up to about 2000-2200 calories. Some of my favorite foods are:

Cooked oatmeal with cottage cheese, peanut butter, bananas, and splenda/honey/whatever sweetener. High in calories and SOOO tasty! Depending on the fat content of the cottage cheese and how much PB you add, the calories can really add up (healthy fats though). This meal is really filling though, so if you're not feeling satisfied on 2200 I still think this is a great one. Sometimes I can't even finish this with just a cup of cooked oats.

I also like to make sandwiches with peanut butter, banana slices, and apple slices. Or apples with cheese...it sounds weird but they taste great together.

Don't be shy about eating a steak either. We do need saturated fats in our diet.

Whole grain pasta with marinara sauce and turkey sausage, either italian sausage or crumbles. 1 cup of pasta plus a whole sausage is probably somewhere around 300 calories.

I haven't tried the cottage cheese in oatmeal I'll have to thanks songbyrd!

Any 2,200 calorie meal plan with a protein/carb/fat breakdown of 50/30/20 will be very filling and a challenge to consume on a daily basis. On the upside, you'll be shocked at how easily you shed weight. I sure as heck was.
