need food help

skwhatley

I know I'm not the first to ask this but for all of you that have been doing this a while...I'm wondering what a typical day is as far as meals go, including any snacks or desserts. I desperately need ideas cause I'm all out and I'm pretty sure frozen and canned meals are really bad because of the sodium content.

Thanks in advance for the ideas!

when i am prepared a typical day could be

cornflakes with semi-skimmed milk
cup of tea/orange juice

apple and/or yoghurt

turkey sandwich

weight watchers cookies x2
cup of tea

potatoes, carrots, butternut squash/peas with grilled chicken or salmon

crackers with butter
cup of tea

i try to have brekkie, lunch, dinner and 2/3 snacks depending on how many calories i have to spend

this is by no means advice on what to eat or anything, just a typical day for me :flowerforyou:

thats exactly what i'm looking for. just anyone's typical day and what they consume. i'm low on ideas and not huge on fancy cooking so just trying to see what everyone else is eating

breakfast
2 hardboiled eggs and apple
or 1 cup yogurt (full fat) 1 cup berries
or bowl of oatmeal with some chopped apples or berries
or bacon and apple
or scrambled eggs
or homemade pancakes (whole grain flour, flax meal, wheat germ)
Sometimes I skip breakfast. I know the experts say to never skip breakfast, but there are days that I cannot even think about food until about noon.

lunch
apple slices with peanut butter
or sandwich (whole grain bread, lots of veggies, cream cheese)
or soup (homemade with tons of vegetables, beans, barley)
or vegetable sticks with bean dip
or homemade fried rice (brown rice, any leftover vegetables, any leftover meat cut into small pieces) with a little bit of soy sauce

dinner
depends on how many calories I have consumed during the day, may be a
spinach salad,
beet, walnut and blue cheese salad,
or some kind of meat, corn , rice, starchy vegetables and fibrous vegetables
homemade pizza
pasta on a rare occasion with some frech chopped tomatoes and any other kind of vegetables I have on hand with a little bit of olive oil and a splash of balsamic vinegar.
or apples with cheddar cheese
Sometimes I make my self a hamburger, about 4oz of ground beef with slices of tomatoes and cucumbers on a bun with slices of peppers or jicama strips on the side.
I love a shredded cabbage salad with some feta cheese, kalamata olives and some olive oil and vinegar.
I love broccoli and green beans and have them most nights. Steamed with a bit of butter and a pinch of salt.
Sugar snap peas are so tasty they just need a light steaming and nothing else.

I love apples and I eat a lot of apples every day.
