Hi everyone. I am new here and eager to find new things to eat! So, would you like to share your daily menu?
For example today I had:
Breakfast: Coffee
Lunch: Toast
Dinner: Spaghetti with homemade tofu sauce and garden peas
Snacks: Grapes
I know it's not perfect, especially the lack of protein in my diet. I am vegetarian and very picky so I am finding it hard to meet my protein goals, but I am hoping that with myfitnesspall's help it will get better!

That's not a menu
You ate one meal0 -
I had pancakes and Greek yogurt for breakfast and a protein bar for lunch. I'm thinking about having pancakes again for dinner, but I'm on cold medicine and my appetite can't be trusted. I think my diary is open if you're looking for ideas. I'll just explain that it's currently set for 2200 calories, which is my maintenance level. But I'm aiming for 1700-1800 calories to lose weight for a little while.0

Let me see,
Breakfast: Freshly squeezed orange juice and supplements
Lunch: Raw brussels sprouts and apple with a maple syrup, raw mustard and olive oil dressing
Snack: Vegan protein shake with peanut butter and chocolate almond milk
Dinner: Split Pea Soup and brown rice crackers
By the way, since you're a vegetarian, may I friend you?0 -

Your BMR is: 13340 -
I wish, but it is not.
According to websites it might be. According to real measurements - it is 883
Thanks everyone for posting0 -

You have the BMR of a 2 foot 7 inch 21 year old female weighing 132 pounds.
I bet0 -
I'm really curious; how did you get it measured? Being small can be a nightmare that way... people don't quite realise how much of an effect 'normal' portion sizes seem.
I agree that your nutrition could be better though... I see two, possibly three fruit/veg servings and very little protein.
I like to start the day with yoghurt and fruit... two portions of frozen fruit (160g total) and I take soya yoghurt so if you're leaning towards the vegan side you could go with 100g of that, or go with fat-free Greek yoghurt if you want more protein and don't mind cow. (Fat-free because it's better protein content, not for fear of fat. Never be afraid of fat on your food ^_^) It comes in around 150cal depending on what fruit you go with.
Lately I've been halving the portion size of the carb part of the meal and increasing the veg... so, with your spaghetti meal I would halve the spaghetti but pad out the sauce with other veg, such as grated carrot (always good in a tomato sauce) or cubed aubergine. Or both! It's a good way of getting better nutrition while reducing the carb content and calories to a portion size more appropriate for your frame. I mean, that's just what I've found lately, YMMV always. but it's just a thought.0 -
Breakfast: Bagel sandwich with egg, cheese and bacon.
Lunch: A cup of kale and itialian sausage soup (went out). Side of watermelon.
Snack: 5 ounces Tillamook vanilla greek yogurt
Dinner: Haven't had yet, but plan to have a cup of homemade pinto beans with a side of veggie sticks (asparagus, red bell pepper, carrots, celery), and then maybe some cantaloupe for dessert.

So far I've had a toasted sandwich thin with Nutkao and a sliced banana on top...four cups of coffee (I usually just have 1)...sautéed mushrooms, onions & peppers with melted Swiss and Sriracha. I am taking my mom out to dinner at a restaurant of her choice, so I have no idea what's for dinner but I should have plenty of calories left.0
