    Breakfast: cereal or eggs

    Lunch: Smart Ones meal (usually)

    Dinner: chicken with veggies

    Snack: fruit or fiber one bar

    That's usually what I eat. Sometimes I am not home for dinner so I make decisions on how many calories I have left.

    I'm bad :embarassed:

    Breakfast - usually eggs or pancakes (I make pancakes if I'm not that hungry because their higher calories)

    Lunch - usually left overs from dinner before or a sandwich

    Dinner - ANYTHING! Last night chicken tenders and mac and cheese! But I usually up the veggies, have my steak on a huge salad, and drink lots of water so I don't eat as much.

    Snack (I have to eat again because I usually work out after dinner) - usually a little of what's left over from dinner, or fruit if we have it.

    For me its all about portions. I haven't stopped eating anything since I've started losing weight, I just watch the portions. If I'm low on calories left, I eat a can of green beans (no butter, just salt and pepper) since the whole can is only like 80 calories and it's a good bowl full)

    Breakfast - Protein smoothie or oatmeal
    Lunch - Kashi entree or soup
    Snack - light yogart, or string cheese, or 1/2 cup cottage cheese, or hummus, or applesauce
    Dinner - Beef (I raise my own so all organic/low fat), chicken, fish, or pork, and non-starch veggies
    Snack - Sugar Free Fruit Bar (yum)


    I have a lapband so protein is the 1st thing I eat before anything else.

    I don't eat ANY VEGGIES AT ALL... :noway: I know I'm weird..

    EVERY MORNING mon-fri I have a Lean Pocket sausage, egg, cheese (140 calories) :happy:

    Lunch I either have Lean Cuisine Baked Chicken w/mashed potatoes (230 calories) or the Lean Cuisine turkey and mashed potatoes (210 calories) I am a creature of habit I know...but I also like to know how many calories I have for dinner! :tongue:

    I usually also have 6 glasses of water by the time I get home from work

    For dinner we pretty much have the same things every week...makes it easier to calculate the calories I drink my last two glasses of water for the day with dinner, sometimes 1/2 percent milk with dinner..
    Steak broiled and baked potato microwave
    Pork Chop broiled and Brown Rice (on rice I spray I can't believe it's not butter 0 calories)
    Baked Chicken and Brown Rice (again with the spray butter for flavor)
    Jeenio Burger and Canned Corn (spray butter for flavor)
    Jeenio Loaf and Brown Rice
    On the weekends sometimes I get a Footlong ham sub with a line of light mayo...thats it cause I don't like any veggies....so that's pretty easy to calculate anyways I eat half for lunch and half for dinner..

    I rarely eat "snacks" since it's about 7:00 when we eat dinner. If I do it would be a 3/4 cup of Fruit Cheerios (100 calories) or a Spartan Fudge Bar (90 calories)

    Hope this LONG post helps :happy:

    See, I have to eat a big variety of foods or else I wind up bored stiff. Any bread mentioned is whole wheat. I also always keep unsweetened frozen fruit around and sprinkle it on a lot of different foods. Typically the frozen fruit is blueberries or strawberries. Here are some sample breakfast meals:

    - 1/3 or 1/2 cup oatmeal, several spoonfuls of frozen fruit (FF), stevia, cinnamon, splash of Almond Milk Vanilla Unsweetened (AMVU)
    - 1/2 cup high fiber cereal (like Kashi GoLean), stevia, cinnamon, 1/4 cup AMVU, several spoonfuls of FF, 2 white-only hard boiled eggs (WHE)
    - 1 slice bread, 1/4 cup nonfat cottage cheese, topped with fruit like bananas or peaches
    - Amy's Toaster Pop, 2 WHE, half an apple, banana, or grapefruit
    - Kashi GoLean waffle, several spoonfuls of FF, fat free Reddie Freddie whipped cream, cinnamon, sugar free maple syrup or spoonful of peanut butter, and 2 WHE
    - Egg white omelet with spinach, mushrooms, and onions, and a fruit of some sort
