daily food ideas please

Here's a meal plan that works for me:

Breakfast - 6 egg whites with 1/4 cup of salsa wisked in then scrambled (makes egg whites delightful); complete it with 2 slices of whole grain, low calorie bread or fiber one bar

Lunch - Dirruso's turkey 1 link; 1% cottage cheese; and something low cal but enjoyable such as sugar free jello pudding

Dinner - Grilled chicken; salad with fat free raspberry viniagrette dressing

Snacks - throughout the day you could incorporate small snacks to keep you from feeling hungry. I will eat a banana or drink a strawberry smoothie (1 cup of low fat strawberry yogurt, 1 cup of frozen unsweetened strawberries, 1 can of diet clear soda) IT IS YUMMY AND VERY LOW CALORIES!

On my best days, I usually do:

- breakfast = chocolate protein smoothie - so delicious and usually around 30-40 grams of protein
- snacks = fruit, hummus, veggies, GF crackers, pickles, olives, skim cheese etc.
- lunch = depends but try to do a salad with protein (nuts, ham, cheese, beans etc.)
- dinner = varies as well, if in a hurry i do something like a lower carb veggie burger, if i have time i'll sautee legumes and veggies in a curry or spicy sauce.
- dessert = if i have enough calories i add in some coconut bliss or homemade vegan raw cookies (70 calories each and SO yummy).

The one downside of my diet right now is at least 1-3 times a week there are free lunches at my work, and while i try to choose the healthiest options, it's a guessing game in terms of calories and it leads to craving more food because of the added salt and sugar.
