Post your menus!

Bohohippy

I am interested in seeing peoples menus who are losing consistant weight. I'm very used to Slimming world and have been on and off with Calorie Counting but I'm still really unsure on how it all works. I understand logging any calories for anything you eat, and things need to be healthy... but is SW healthy the same as calorie counting healthy? I know meat can be high so thats different.

I have around 1500 cals a day for 2lb loss a week.

Today I missed breakfast as I work evenings/nights and didn't wake until 1ish, so I had a brunch type meal of 2 sasuages on a small bake at home baghette with ketchup, 1 pint of water, 1 pear, 1 drinkable yogurt (low fat). I'm working again tonight so I am going to create a tuna pasta salad and I usually consume at least 1ltre of water during the 7 hours.

Breakfasts I usually have toast or some low cal cereal with skimmed milk...

Could people possibly post their menus, weeks or days...

2 hard boiled eggs

Lunch:

I also try to stay lowish on carbs, sodium & sugar (PCOS / insulin resistant) and get as much protein as possible to help with muscle recovery

B: Roll with butter and coffee (milk and sugar)

L: New England Clam Chowder, breadstick, half a mini cupcake

I'l probably eat some cauliflower and brocolli roast with grilled chicken for dinner before working out all these extra calories. I will never learn.

I wouldn't really say that I eat that healthy. I don't eat a lot of meat, so I generally end up spending those calories nonsense. I've lost 22lbs in about 6 weeks.

This was yesterday:

Breakfast:
1 c. mixed fruit
1 wheat bagel
1 oz Philly cream cheese

Lunch:
Chicken Parm Lean Pocket

2nd Lunch:
Spicy Chicken Sandwich from Chik Fil A

Dinner (Taco Bell - late after practice and desperate):
Bean & Cheese Burrito
Pintos and Cheese

Snack:
Almond Joy

I lost .8lbs from yesterday to today. When I lose the bulk of my weight, I will probably pay more attention to my macros. We don't have to have the most boring diets on earth to lose weight
