Do you have your meals planned out?

For me:

Breakfast - Sandwich thin, 2 teaspoons peanut butter, and a banana (258 calories)

Snack - Orange (70 Calories)

Lunch - Chicken wrap and a cup of veggie lentil soup - homemade (427 calories)

Snack - Cup of grapes (104 calories)

Dinner - 4 oz Filet Mignon, steamed broccoli, greek salad (342 Calories)

That is only a total of 1201 calories, so I will be adding in a couple of more snacks since I will be working out and burning around 400 to 500 calories!

Tell me what your food plan for today is!

    You will have to look at my meal diary. It is complete up to dinner for today. Do not know what my love of my life has planned for dinner yet. :happy:

    Yep! Breakfast was 1 scrambled egg with basil on top of a corn tortilla with a little bit of popcorn cheese (haha)

    Lunch will be 1 cup of tomato soup with a sandwich on a wheat bun of chunk light tuna and 1 tbsp sweet relish

    Snack will be 3 oz. carrots (8-10 so I usually eat 9) with homemade hummus

    Post-workout shake will be 1 scoop 100% whey chocolate protein powder in 8 oz. skim milk with 2 tbsp fresh ground honey roasted peanut butter

    Dinner will be a 4 oz. cod filet, with some sauteed mushrooms & onions and 1 cup cooked elbow macaroni

    Total is 1830. My base is 1400 and I've already worked off 154 and plan to work off another 250 (or so) tonight. I plan on leaving some exercise calories all this week to create a bigger deficit so I can see some weight loss before my trip, plus I'm running out of food and don't want to go grocery shopping before we leave. :)

    Breakfast : Yoplait Light Boston Cream Pie F/F yogurt

    Lunch: Bumble bee Chicken salad (the kind that comes premade with crackers...only i don't eat the crackers) on Sara lee 45calorie wheat bread and a chicken w mini noodles soup at hand.

    Dinner: Cajun Shrimp Casserole (recipe from Southern Living) and a piece of garlic toast

    I don't really snack too much between meals, but i have some extra calories left for the day (don't think i'll get a chance to work out) so i will probably end the evening with some 100Cal Cupcakes and a glass of skim milk!

    i always say my days are planned but lunch is always subject to change
    but breakfast was a turkey italian sausage and a tomato
    lunch is supposed to be cucumber and tomato and flank steak
    dinner will be tilapia (1-2 fillets depending how hungry i am), cucumber, tomato and probably brocolli

    i might go to the movies since i am child-less for the evening and if i do i'll have a small/jr (whatever is the smallest) popcorn as a treat... but considering i will have burned 800 calories in my 2 workouts i won't be mad at myself!

    I try to plan my meals one day in advance so I can psyche myself up and not get tempted by other foods. It does work wonders! :) even if something unexpected comes up I can sort of plan around it

    Yep :) Until dinner that is.
    I work out after work/before dinner, but I'm not always so hungry after working out, so I don't plan dinner that way I will only eat what I'm hungry for.
    It seems to be working well.
    Breakfast: special k protein plus with nonfat milk
    Lunch: 2 grilled chicken tenderloins, green beans, and maybe red potatoes if I'm still hungry
    Snack: sugar free jell-o black cherry
