I burned close to 500 calories yesterday and was only over on fiber so this is way more than 1200 cals (as usual).0 -
Breakfast- coffee, Either Kashi cereal and fruit or 2/3 egg whites w/ fresh spinach and mushrooms or English muffin and Yogurt. Or oatmeal w/ fruit
Snack-carbmaster yogurt maybe w/ almonds counted out or 1 oz 2% milk cheese w low fat wheat thins and apple
Lunch- can of tuna in water mixed with sugar free pickle relish w/ onion with wheat thins
Snack- Celery stuffed with laughing cow cheese
Dinner-Big tossed salad with lots of mixed veg's and add some kind of protein with it.
I work out in the evenings so it's hard to eat a lot at 8 pm at night. So I make it a point to add protein every night. If I don't have anything to top my salad I will do a shake.
I mix around food all the time. Getting ideas from this post is awesome. I make sure I have my 1200 because I burn a lot of calories working out.0 -

THIS QUESTION IS FOR ALLYKAT
As a self admitted "nut butter" addict, I am dying ot know where you get these delicious flavors of PB?!?

This topic in particular will help keep me accountable though.
OK- so where on earth do I get vanilla cranberry PB and or the other yummy one you listed?0 -

I have neglected this thread for the weekend, it is too hard for me to stick to the 1200 cals on the weekend, but I didn't gain any weight over the weekend so alls well that ends well. I have been making crepes and they seem to be a pretty good choice for me. I had a crepe (55 cals) with a tablespoon of nutella (50 cals) and 10 almonds (55 cals) and oatmeal (160) before noon.
For lunch, lean cuisine fettucine alfredo (330 cals)
Snack: snickers mini and tangerine (93)
Dinner: crepe (55 cals) 2 slices ham (53) 1 slice reduced fat swiss (70 cals) and green salad with lite rasberry vinegrette and salad topping (90 cals)
Dessert: split another nutella crepe with DH (52 cals)
daily total 1059 and I didn't feel deprived all day, and there were donuts at work.
I still need to get more fruits and veggies, I could add some berries to the nutella crepes and a salad at lunch...0 -
This is what I've had today. If I had not had the very calorie filled dessert, I could have had another meal during the day and still been under my calorie count. I'm not always so good at sticking to low calorie foods throughout the days.
I find it useful to go through friends' diaries. You can get some good ideas for combos.

I've been having a huge snack in the middle of the day, skipping dinner, but staying under my calorie goal for the past two days. ...Is this bad?0 -
mythicals-as far as skipping meals some people don't recommend it because letting your blood sugar levels get too low could trigger your body to hold onto fat and calories but I am of the opinion that you should eat when you are hungry and if you are not hungry, don't eat. your body would know if you were starving, right?
Anyway, today I went a little over but exercise made up for it!
Breakfast: dried apricots and almonds
Lunch: a smart ones mini cheese burger, salad with lite rasberry vinnegret and half pita with hummus
Snack: mini twix
Dinner: Red Lobsta, pick two meal with garlic shrimp and snow crab legs, half of a baked potato and green salad without the croutons or dressing and one cheesey biscuit AND two miller lites
