    Breakfast - 1 cup multi-grain cheerios, 1/2 cup milk
    Lunch - shrimp penne pasta
    Dinner - 1 cup multi-grain cheerios, 1/2 cup milk

    I know it sounds boring, but I've really seen results since we switched our main meal from Dinner to Lunch. We eat a really light dinner (cereal or oatmeal) and we're losing weight, plus there's not that "heavy" feeling after dinner, creating the slump before bed.

    I swear by it, I still eat my largest meal for lunch, second largest is breakfast, dinner is quite meager

    Definitely better to eat lighter late in the day.

    Just curious, why no veggies or fruit?

    I agree with you completely! I eat what is convienent to eat, so I have to make healthy foods more convienent ! Its funny you do a pre breakfast, because most days so do I! The pre is simply just to start my metabolism before I'm even very hungry, and then I usually have more later on when I'm actually hungry.

    Breakfast: Smoothie (1 Mango, 1 Peach & 1/2 cup apple juice) with 6 cups of green tea throughout the morning

    Snack: 1.5 servings of plain greek yogurt.

    Lunch - (Breakfast for lunch) 1 egg fried in a drizzle of olive oil with spinach and feta, 1 piece ancient grain toast, with two slices of Canadian Back Bacon, and an 8 oz glass of milk.

    Snack - 1/4 cup Macadamia Nuts

    Dinner - Homemade Greek Salad with BBQ steak and mashed potatoes and probably a glass of red wine.

    1 tbsp low-fat chive and onion cream cheese
    2 cups milk (one before the gym)
    1/2 delicious cupcake (this is not normal)

    Snack:
    reduced fat string cheese
    Designer Whey protein shake

    A pretty intense amount of dairy today! I need to think of some other protein sources. I usually have ham with breakfast, but eating meat all day long is not very appealing to me :/

    Same here! I've lost doing the exact same thing. Doesn't work for everyone, but it keeps your metabolism up. As long as you're not eating junky snacks, it works. Plus for me, my current job is SO boring that I use snacks to help me break up the day!

    Besides it's so much fun to say, "Well - if I'm going to keep losing weight, I guess I'd better go get another snack" - I LOVE seeing people's faces when I say that! LOL!

    Today's plan is:

    Breakfast - Coffee, Sandwich thin with peanut butter and banana
    Snack - Grapes
    Lunch - Turkey Sandwich with 2% cheese and a serving of tortilla chips
    Snack - Strawberries
    Dinner - It's my dad's birthday and we're going to Fuddruckers so i'm going to have a Hamburger without cheese, ketchup, tomatoes, lettuce and onions only!

    Workout - Burned 550 calories

    With all that, I still have to figure out how to fit in about 500 more calories into my menu. Poor me. :cry: :bigsmile:

    @lina1131 - just watch your buns at Fuddrucker's - they tend to butter and toast them up - which adds oodles of calories.

    Breakfast: 1 sandwhich thin, split between 1 egg and 1T of natural peanut butter, 1 pint of bluberries
    Snack 1: 1oz raw almonds, 1 apple
    Lunch: 1c of homemade veggie pasta sauce (oops, I thought it was soup) and my roasted veggies - turnips, carrots and cauliflower (half of which turned out to be slimey)
    Snack 2: 1 green pepper, 1 minneola orange
    Dinner: 1 bunch of kale (made into kale chips), 1 serving of Quorn southwest style nuggets, and one large salad with Texas caviar, guacamole, yogurt ranch and santa sweet tomatoes

    Ohhh thanks for the tip. I wonder if I can just request that they don't butter it up and only toast it. I'll ask, it doesn't hurt!
