    Dinner - Usually beans or fish; brown rice or quinoa; some type of roasted or stir fried vegetable(s) and 2-3 glasses of wine
    Dessert - nothing or cocoa roasted almonds

    On the weekend:
    Breakfast - either a frozen Kashi waffle w 1 Tbs soynut butter and 1Tbs maple syrup, or 1/2 C old fashioned oats (raw), 1 Tbs peanut butter and 1 tsp maple syrup on weekends.

    Hey, we eat very similar! lol. Yes, how do you like the ezekial bread? I just disocvered it and I don't think I want to go with others because of the low calorie, carb, and high protein and fiber content of this bread.

    I love Ezekiel bread! It's very filling.

    Breakfast choices:

    Yogurt (either flavoured or plain greek, if plain then I add fresh fruit)
    Oatmeal or Kashi whole grain hot cereal
    Regular cold cereal with skim milk, usually nothing too sugary unless I'm needing fiber, and then it's frosted shreddies time!
    Fresh fruit

    Lunch :
    Some kind of leftovers, calorie portioned accordingly
    or
    ALWAYS a fresh or frozen (no added salt) container of vegetables
    Fruit if I didn't have any with breakfast
    Lean Cuisine/Smart Ones/Healthy Choice

    Dinner is a mixed bag for me.
