I'm just curious what everyone eats on a daily basis, I am trying to make changes in my diet, but sometimes I'm just not sure where to begin. Can you share some ideas/advice? I have @ 60 lbs to lose....well, 59 after last week, lol.

I follow the WW points plus program because I like that I can have what I want...I just have to count the points. Nothing is off limits. I usually eat an egg beaters burrito with salsa and a low-carb tortilla for 2 points, as many 0-point foods as I can, and a good dose of chocolate...cannot live without chocolate!0

I just watched Forks over Knives on Netflix last week. Great documentary! I haven't eaten any meat in the last week because of what I saw on the movie. For tonight, I'm making a lentil mushroom loaf with mashed potato stuffing & a salad. It was so good when I made it last week, we're having it again. I find it amazing when you go out to dinner; everything has some kind of meat in it. Even the salads have meat. I also started Zumba a few days ago. I have about 40 lbs to lose. I plan on eating vegetarian & working out 6-7 days a week.0

our family eats almost anything, but as of recently we have been going through are Biggest loser and Heart healthy cookbooks and planning our weekly menu and grocery list. Saves us the money to. We have at least 8 weeks out. It has been such a success in our home we are now looking at planning breakfast and lunch to. It is awesome because it helps me with not having to think about whats for dinner and the kids and hubby isn't bugging me about what were having. They look up on our board in the kitchen and that that! It also gives us the calories in the meals to so that helps0

I eat everything I like what works for me is that I weigh and measure everything with the exception of green leafy veggies. I organize my meals for my workday the night before I and keep to that and don't deviate. I have a good digital scale and use a calculator to figure out the total serving size before logging it on this site. you can look at my diary if you want.0

My diary is also open. You can add me if you'd like to see what I eat0

I've always kept veggies at bay... I'm slowly learning to eat some :blushing:
Carrots are my favorite, zucchini, peas, fennel, tomato, corn on the cob!
I cannot for the life of me get over the texture of leafy...I'm sure they're tasty, and they look beautiful, but I can't eat them.
For carbs, I've mostly switched to whole-wheat.
Whole wheat spaghetti and penne, rice, bread, flour.
I also enjoy spelt in soups and salads.
And tortillas. (I can't find whole wheat, so I switched to corn)
I love lean meat, chicken is my absolute favorite! I'd eat it all every day if I could.
Also, smoked turkey, bresaola, and sometimes prosciutto.
For fish, fresh salmon and swordfish are staples, plus canned tuna for salads and cold lunches.
I eat a lot of legumes for protein! Lentils, Borlotti beans, Chickpeas.
(A favorite of mine is beans and spelt soup, or rosemary chickpea soup. Delish!)
I love cheese, cutting back on the Asiago has been a challenge!
I've been loving cottage cheese, it's low calorie and a great breakfast choice.
Also: yogurt! I love, love, love plain whole yogurt, easily customizable for a tasty breakfast.
(you can add fruit, cereal, chocolate, just about anything)
My uncle has been making his own for years now and I'm going to try this week!!
Oh, and don't forget tons of FRUIT! Natural sugar, boost of energy, and it's cheap if it's in season! :flowerforyou:0 -
Eggs, all kinds of meat, leafy greens, fish, occasional fruit (berries), heavy cream, fat, naturally saturated fat, more fat.
Clean Eating Holier Than Thou Disclaimer: Yesterday I had some chocolate cake but it was a birthday party and it's rude not to
(edit) And a spoonful (or two) of quality ice cream daily ...0 -
See for yourself. I have an open diary.0

My diet isn't as good as I'd like it to be since we have hardly any fresh fruits and veggies in the house. As it is, I eat as much fruit and vegetables as I can, and eat whole grains to help me stay full. Since I'm a vegetarian, I get my protein mainly from soy and nuts. I try not to eat junk but I do anyway..although I try to keep it within my calorie goal. :P0

I eat a lot of different things. Eggs are pretty high on the list. Can't live without my coffee (even if I only manage a half a cup). Chicken breast is high up there. Pork and fish too. I'm not sure I'd survive without bacon... Veggies are a lot of salads, lots of carrots and cucumbers. Fruit is usually pluots or nectarines or peaches, sometimes a citrus... My diary is always open, and I've only not logged my food a couple of days.0

Wow, thanks so much to each and every one of you! I have to go back over all of this again.0

You are so very welcome and please, do not forget this is not a race so there is no rush. Baby steps are best. Do not try to change everything at once or you may fail.
Start replacing a thing at a time with something healthier, then before you know it you will be a natural.
I have been on this journey for 5 years and just got to my goal weight this past March. I stumbled and fell several times, the most important thing I did was keep going. I never gave up. Its a great life.0 -
My diary is also open, feel free to add me as a friend. Keep in mind, I think everything is okay in moderation and I have at least 1 treat daily. I try to add vegies to almost every lunch and dinner and snack on 1-2 fruit during the day.0
-
Breakfast: strawberry/blueberry smoothie w/almond milk, 1/2 banana, protein powder, chia seeds or
green smoothie - spinach, almond milk, 1/2 banana, natural peanut butter, chia seeds, protein powder or
boiled eggs w/avocado or toase
Lunch: chicken, collard greens/kale or any other greens and/or quinoa
salmon , collard greens or any other greens, quinoa
Dinner: fruits, ginger tea or herbal tea with raw honey or greens sprinkled with almonds (no dairy for me)0 -
