I am trying to get my meals together for tomorrow and trying to figure out what other types of foods I should incorporate into the first half of my day. Here is what I have planned out so far:


BREAKFAST: Thinking of the steel cut oats and berry recipe I found on this site. I have some left over from Friday, but not sure how good they will be come tomorrow morning, or if I will be in the mood for them. Any suggestions if they don't go over well?


FIRST SNACK:

2.5oz baby carrots, stop & shop brand
2.3oz celery


LUNCH:

47 gram josephs flax oat bran & whole wheat pita bread (Serving 37 grams)
12grams spinach
15grams Cains crispy pickle spears
19grams Sargento Baby Swiss, Natural
6g French Mustard
26 gram tomatao
Hilshire Farms Lower Sodium, Oven Roasted Turkey Breast, Ultra thin
Blood orange, small


SECOND SNACK

1.5oz blueberry
1.4oz blackberry
1.8oz banana


DINNER: Will plan later in day tomorrow. Husband and kid are eating left over roast and potatoes from tonight. I am thinking maybe vegetarian chili over salad, maybe

Does this meal plan look good so far? I was thinking of adding a Chobani yogurt or Hood Cottage Cheese with my first snack, but don't want to eat too much dairy for the day

Thanks for taking a look and for any suggestions that may be offered.

    Are you having a hard time getting certain nutrients in? Maybe add some hummus or peanut butter with veggies and fruit?

    Not sure what your calorie goal is but your plan looks pretty good to me. Lots of fruits and veggie is awesome. I love chobani greek yogurt for breakfast. I add a banana or granola bar (fiber now) if I'm still hungry.

    I also love chili over salad or taco salads. Just make sure you weight the cheese if you add it. I lvoe cottage cheese with fruit too. I'll have to get some at the store next week I haven't had any in awhile.

    Love your choices. I choose not to eat processed lunch meats. I think we are fooling ourselves with the "low sodium". I have eaten steel cut oats, with sugar and ff milk for the past month and still not tired of them. Yours cooked on Friday should be fine. Good choices but I suggest you add up your calories to make sure your eating 1200 minimum.

    Sherbog- I normally stay away from processed meats, but we just moved to this state in Aug and had a hard time finding a local butcher who offers clean meat. We finally found one through eatwild.org, but won't have our order in for another week

    My dinner will probably be about 350 calories- I have put anything into the tracker yet to see what everything totals up to. I don't think I am working out tomorrow so I want to keep it at around 1000-1200MAX (hypo issues, need to eat a little under 1200 on days I am not exercising, has been only way I have been able to shed this extra weight, given ok by doctor within reasons- if I decide to exercise tomorrow, I will bump up the calories)

    Thanks for the feedback everyone

    Not really, just want to be careful with eating too many carbs (my weakness) and not go over in fats

    looks great, you might want to add a little more lean protein to your snacks....piece of rolled up turkey, maybe add a little protein powder to your oatmeal in the morning.....A great start to your week!
