    tried 3 ingredient banana and oatmeal cookies too today, not worth the calories, and had to add chopped up marshmellow to make it sweet enough. My daughter is taking the left overs to school for her teacher, their topic is healthy eating so a good example .

    Go Red Team! :smile:

    Quick lunch at work:
    Slice a banana and an apple and mix it with fat-free greek joghurt. You can also add some flax seeds, or cereal, or combine with a granola bar.

    April - looks yummy!

    Breakfast for me this week was warm, since it's soo cold outside!
    1 hard boiled egg on
    1/2 a pita with
    3 slices of ham and
    a little brown mustard - about 300 calories and filled me up until lunch

    I also like 1/2 c Red Barn Meuseli with warm almond milk.
    The mueseli already has flax, sunflower seeds, slivered almonds, and a mix of dried fruit, and it packs a punch!

    I had time to cook over the holiday this week so I made a super-delicious lunch
    I sliced a whole onion and caramelized it over low heat with 1/2tbsp of olive oil
    then i sauteed 1.5c sliced mushrooms (which have a ton of protein - surprise) and 1 lg bell pepper with 1/2tbsp of olive oil. i had to add a little water at the end b/c it was getting dry in the pan, but water also kicked up all of those flavor pieces stuck to the bottom of the fry pan. I put a 3/4-1 cup of the veggies over 1c of brown rice. The total was under 350 calories but filled me up all afternoon, so i'm happy with that

    no dodgy picture tonight, ive had an day for watching my portion size rather than eating particularly healthy.
    started off well with a banana for breakfast.....
    then
    Followed by bacon, eggs, mushroom beans for lunch
    pizza and chips for tea
    then a trip to the cinema with popcorn and chocolates.

    I must add that everything has been weighed and measured, in some cases adapted,
    oven chips, egg whites only low fat salted popcorn small pieces of chocolate.
    7 calaories reamining from my allowance not been so close to the wire for ages.

    Couldn't be bothered to cook tonight. Out for lunch and omelette and chips for tea. Low fat of course and made good choices at lunch, passed on desert.
    getting weighed tomorrow. Only been 5days since last weigh in so a bit Worried about letting my team down. Been very close to my calorie limit over passed few days. Only done 90mins of exercise this week and haven't drunk enuf water so don't expect the scales to be very favorable.

    I'he been a little mia from this board sorry!! I've been logging though! The babe is teething pretty bad, so our sleep is off and we need more attention. Babies are hard work! I'm starting to get a little under the weather so I took two rest days this weekend, tomorrow I'm back in action!

    Some yummy things we've been eating for dinner are ground turkey tacos with lettuce wraps and I started using plain Greek yogurt in place of sour cream. It was a lot better than expected!

    We made chicken stir fry with lots of peppers (something I didn't eat before last week) and green beans with a side of red potatoes.

    We replaced regulars sausage with breaksfast sausage and have been upping our veggie intake hardcore!

    I made Strawberry Oat bars yesterday for my Birthday treat, I'ts a new recipie and a bit high in fat. I replaced the flour with glutenfree baking mix and they turned out wonderful. Next time I will try cutting back on butter and sugar. I always try a new recipe as is and then I will change it to make it healthier. That way I know what it tastes like and will know if it is worth making again.

    Today I made pizza burgers w/ turkey burger topped with pizza sauce, fresh mushrooms,onion, pepper, black olives, cheese and turkey pepperoni. I served it with steamed broccoli and cauliflower and pineapple.[503 calories] yum!

    I've been sick since Friday so I haven't been getting nearly as much exercise in as I wanted. Sorry Red team! I've stuck with my diet though!
