I'm kinda getting tired of my egg white, reduced fat shredded cheese and broccoli scramble every AM. Also my tilapia and green beans. I need some new tasty things to cook. Any suggestions?

    Oatmeal, hardboiled eggs, Kashi cereal and skim milk, Natural PB and naturally sweetened preserves on whole wheat toast, Van's lite waffles, etc. My breakfast runs about 275-300 calories.

    Turkey or Ham with cheese on a La Tortilla low carb tortilla with lots of raw veggies stuffed in it (alfalfa sprouts, lettuce, tomato, red onion), side of fresh fruit - 275 calories plus the fruit and condiments.

    Chicken rolled in wheat germ and browned, splash of lemon over it at the last minute. Have with one or two your favorite veggies - steamed broccoli, roasted brussel sprouts, steamed yellow squash or zucchini, garlic sauteed portabella mushroom cap, fresh green beans with dill and lemon, OR a side salad with light dressing-between 400-500 calories (depending on what you saute in and the serving sizes)

    My remaining calories are for snacks and an Edy's juice bar for dessert.

    Breakfast:

    Jimmy Dean D'Lights Sausage Breakfast Bowl with tbsp of ketchup- 250 cals, 7 grams of fat (for those days I'm really hungry in the morning :) )

    Low Fat Brown Cinnamon Sugar Poptart- 190 cals, 3 grams of fat (Taste exactly the same as a regular poptart for when I'm in a hurry)

    Egg and cheese sandwich-Don't know the exact calories for it, but it's just a scrambled egg and a slice 2% milk cheese between toast.

    Lunch:

    Two sandwiches (turkey, ham, tuna, etc.) and a serving of baked chips. (I pretty much have this every single day! Hah.)

    Dinner:

    Tacos with extra lean ground turkey, tostidos queso dip, fat free sour cream, el paso taco shells over a bed of shredded lettuce.

    Grilled chicken breast (I used precooked frozen ones) and red potatoes tossed in parsley, butter spray, and garlic powder.

    Vegetable fried rice with minute rice, scrambled egg, frozen peas and carrots, soy sauce.

    Turkey and avocado sandwiches. :) My favorite.

    Grilled cheese and chicken noodle soup/tomato soup.

    And sometimes I just eat sauteed zucchini and yellow squash. Also my favorite.


    Just a few suggestions. I don't particularly eat "healthy" or anything, so sorry if this doesn't help. :) Good luck.

    bumblebee tuna salad w/crackers to go
    Subway Turkey & cheese on 9 oat wheat kids meal
