For breakfast I had a poptart and a tall Chai Tea latte with reduced fat milk... I know not the healthiest but I was in a hurry and late for work!
For my mid morning snack I had a light string cheese stick and applesauce with no sugar added.
I am not sure what I am having for lunch. I am thinking about getting a Scholozkys turkey sandwich on whole wheat. I usually bring my lunch to work but forgot today!
My snack will be a handful of baby carrots for mid afternoon
Dinner will be breakfast again, eggs, toast, grits and turkey bacon... I usually dont eat but a spoonful of grits.

    Breakfast for me is always the same: Whole wheat bagel w/ 1 egg & 1 slice of provolone or cheddar

    Lunch today is baked chicken breast, roast potato and cauliflower/broccoli mix

    Dinner is a toss up. I will either have the same thing that I had for lunch, or I'll just make a sandwich and have some homemade veggie soup.

    Snacks today were: apple & 2 clementines

    The thing that works best for me regarding breakfast (healthy breakfast) is to commit to eating healthier first and foremost and do what it takes to make sure you control that intake.... Example, I prepare oatmeal with fresh fruit with some egg whites and a bagel.... I'm super full and give my body what it needed without compromising my objective.

    Prepare all your stuff the night before, I boil my two eggs and make the oatmeal at night, use freezer safe tuperware to ensure freshness of oatmeal.

    in the am, you simply just need to microwave your meal, eat, and go.

    Breakfast is almost always fruit. Today I also had a snack well devil's food cake cookie since they're only 50 calories and it sounded good with my coffee.. but then i had strawberries. Usually it's about a cup of strawberries or some other fruit like a peach or a pear.

    Mid morning snack is usually more fruit or on occassion low fat/non fat yogurt.

    Lunch is whatever dinner was the night before (eggplant lasagne, bean soup, multi-grain pasta, etc)

    Mid day snack is a veggie of some sorts.. usually carrots or avacado

    Dinner is something more hearty but still low cal, like chick-pea stew, eggplant lasagne, bean soup, multi-grain pasta or multiple things like sweet potatoes, vegetarian hot dogs, veggies etc.

    I try to stay away from processed foods and cook as natural as possible. Takes more time but it's worth it.

    Breakfast is usually a venti green tea latte, nonfat, with 2 pumps of sugar free vanilla syrup.
    I guess I don't have a typical lunch, but today it's a salad and some sardines
    Supper tonight is baked squash (with some brown sugar) since it's really good this time of year and one of the few veggies in my garden that my girls will eat :)
    I also have a big juicy Harry & David pear that will be gone shortly :happy:

    Lunch: 1 egg, 2 ew omelette with goat cheese + apple
    Snack: rolled up turkey + tablespoon of natty pb on celery
    Dinner: homemade chicken fajitas sans wraps w/ chicken, peppers, onions, mushrooms and cheese!!
    After dinner: cottage cheese w/ pb + coffee with half n half

    For breakfast I had a mini Butterfinger and Snickers from my daughter's Halloween bag, for lunch I'm going to have some goldfish crackers and either some baked chicken strips or a peanut butter and banana sandwich. For dinner I'm having baked chicken with rice and gravy, corn and sweet peas. I have apples for snacks, but I haven't had any yet.

    My new favorite dinner is 1 cup of whole wheat rotini pasta, 1/2 cup green pepper and mushroom spaghetti sauce, 2/3 cup Morning Star Farms Italian Sausage Veggie Crumbles. The veggie crumbles are soooo good! It comes to 370 Cal, 7g fat and 20g protein
