I am eating dinner with a bunco group tonight, so I left myself about 800 calories to spare. Just in case! I power walked for an hour today, that gave me an extra 250 calories for the day!
It helps me sometimes to plug in my food before I eat, then I know how much to really have!

Dinner was my favorite.....boneless skinless chicken breast fillets cut up and cooked with olive oil, onions, bellpeppers, home roasted garlic (garlic baked with a drop of olive oil), tomatoes, and fresh mushrooms. Throw in whatever seasonings you like and toss with angel hair pasta...Yummy! Fat content because of the olive oil is a little high but as we all know.....at least its good fat!

Special K with Almonds
Soy milk
Nectarine

PB & J on Whole Wheat
Banana
Strawberry Yogurt

Lemon Garlic Turkey Tenderloin
Brown Rice
Patty Pan Squash
Zucchini
Carrots
(All sauteed together!)

I'm giving you a few options that I are my go to usuals.

---- Breakfast ----

Option 1:
Home made Omelet (1/2 cup of Egg Beaters, one slice of Fat Free American Cheese, 1 1/2 ou. of boars head honey ham..spray the pan with a little Pam) - slice of Nature's Own Honey Wheat Light Bread with a couple squirts of I Can't Believe it's Not Butter Spray and 1/2 tbsp. of Sugar Free Orange Marmalade - 1/4 fat free Breakstone's cottage cheese sprinkled with splenda

Option 2:
Quakers 100 calorie Oatmeal Original - There's endless things to mix with it. Try things like Yoplait's Thick and Creamy French Vanilla yogurt with some granola sprinkles, splash of vanilla extract with cinnamon and splenda mixed with half a banana, a variety of fruits or even some apple butter !! Yum-O!

Depending on what you mix with the oatmeal..I still try and have some cottage cheese or a bowl of cereal.

Option 3:
Protein Shake (endless possibilites!) with toast or a mini bagel

---

Lunch

---

Option 1: (If I didn't have bread with breakfast)
Two Slices of Honey Wheat Bread (80 cals!), 1/2 tbsp. of fat free mayo, couple pieces of lettuce, and my choice of Boars Head meat (turkey, ham, roast beef, chicken)
Laughing Cow cheese wedge with 1.5 oz. of baby carrot sticks

Option 2:
Hungry Girl's Fetticinine Alfredo (sooo goood!!)

Option 3:
Homemade Waldorf Salad
(Lettuce with 4 oz. meats, 1 tbsp. of cranberries, 1/2 pear, sunflower seeds with fat free raspberry vinegarette dressing)


---- Dinner ----

Option 1:
Tyson's Boneless skinless Chicken Tenderloins (3-4 oz.) sauteed with Pam, onions, garlic and salt
A cup of any green veggie (broccoli, asparagus, green beans, peas, spinach...)
Either half a sweet potato, 3 small red skin potatoes or butternut squash

Option 2:
4 oz. White Fish (grouper, snapper, sea bass)
Green Veggie
Salad with Spritzer

Option 3:
Sushi or Sashimi
Miso Soup
Salad with 2 tbsp. of Ginger Dressing

---

Snacks

---

Anything and everything..I don't deprive myself when it comes to snacks. I'll have anything from a mini chocolate bar or a homemade brownie (Hungry Girl makes a 88 cal one! Delish!) to fruits to 100 cal snack pack to yogurt to cheese slices. Just make sure you save yourself the calories for the day!

Have fun with it and like I said NEVER deprive yourself or you won't go very far. And if you blow it for a meal don't go haywire for the day..just get back on track the next meal. In the end you won't be doing that bad. It takes 3500 cals to gain a lb! But in the same token it takes the same amount to lose it!

Good luck! :drinker:

special k 90cal cereal bar

mango slices- 5 of them actually
nachos - chips beans. cheese and sour cream
and a lean cusiene pizza

Breakfast: 2 pieces marble rye toast with a touch of butter and a glass of OJ
Snack: apple
Lunch: Amy's frozen Santa Fe Bowl
Snack: Nature Valley Trail Mix Bar (yum), and then a small handful of toasted pecan halves later
Dinner: veggie omelet on a slice of marble rye (hey, I gotta eat it while it's fresh!)
Dessert: rainbow sherbet :blushing: - I have a cold and it felt nice on my throat

Usually I'll have 1/3 cup granola mixed with 1/3 cup whole milk yogurt for breakfast (delicious and filling), or 1 cup soy milk and 1 scoop Health Smart orange smoothie powder (the serving size is 2 scoops, but since the mix has yogurt in it that is way too thick for me).

I'm already looking forward to my lunch tomorrow - I'm going to finish up the marble rye and make a Tofurky sandwich with lettuce, tomato, Cabot 50% fat-free cheddar and mustard. I LOOOVE that sandwich. :happy:
