My breakfast more the next months is Soymilk, bananas and Vega One protein powder. I'll change it up a bit, but I found this to be quite tasty!

My biggest meal is breakfast (around 700 calories). I don't limit what I can eat. I limit my portions. I know if I tell myself something is off-limits, it becomes irresistible.
Breakfast is usually eggs (2 or 3) cooked in grassfed butter or coconut oil, 150g fried breakfast potatoes, 2 slices bacon and 100g blueberries. I usually have coffee with 3oz half & half and 3 tsp brown sugar.
Lunch is usually light like an apple and peanut butter or a couple cheese sticks with tomato sauce and fresh basil.
Dinner is usually chicken baked with olive oil, salt garlic & black pepper, a baked potato with butter and either corn or broccoli / asparagus.
A few times a week I'll have a serving of ice cream.
My weakness is potato chips. Can't have them in my house.
My recipes are pretty repetitive, so I'm looking forward to everyone's recipe shares!0 -
I try going healthy with breakfast. Oats with a medium banana and a teaspoon of chia seeds. Lemon water and pu erh tea to keep hydrated through the day. Lunch and dinner can vary according to what the people at the office feel like having for lunch and what's being prepared for dinner at home (lucky enough to have meals prepared as I live with my uncle's family). Trying to limit my intake of meats (poultry, beef, pork etc) and practice a pescetarian diet. So far so good but I have many demons in the form of cake. Haha!0

I made this for dinner tonight. It's a variation of chicken salad, but instead of all that mayo it's made with plain greek yogurt. And I must say, it turned out really good! I boiled the chicken breast too so it would stay moist. The recipe says it makes 2-4 servings, so I am saying it makes 4. So the whole recipe divided into 4 servings means that 1 serving of it is only 173 calories!
I am keeping this one. 0 -
I'm sure we're all getting great ideas from here.0

I found a great recipe for 'crustless mini quiches' that I just tried this morning. The greatest thing is you can make a dozen of them and they'll keep in the fridge for 4 days.
It's really just a bunch of your favorite veggies, any meat you want to add, garlic with 4 eggs and 4 egg whites.
Put it all in a muffin tray and pop it in the oven!
They're actually really tasty and filling.0 -
Do you need to coat the muffin tins first? How long in the oven and what temp? I totally want to try this!!I found a great recipe for 'crustless mini quiches' that I just tried this morning. The greatest thing is you can make a dozen of them and they'll keep in the fridge for 4 days.

Hi amsdragonfly. I just used a little bit of cooking spray. Put it in the oven at 350 for 15 mins. Here's the recipe...

Celery and carrots work for me. You could try hummus with something too. Usually fruit will do the trick. Apple and peanut butter is perfect too. Just make sure not to each to much peanut butter. i usually get like half a tablespoon.0 -

Thanks!! I'm definitely going to try this- I love the idea of using muffin cups for portion control.

Whenever I think I'm craving food or hungry first I have a glass of water (usually squirt a little lemon or lime juice in it, with ice). Then I wait a bit and if I'm still hungry I'll pour a measured bowl of kettle flavored Popcorners (my friend turned me on to them after she has gastric surgery and couldn't eat much), or a cup of frozen blueberries (like I'm having a desert!), or granola with flaxseed and 1% milk (it helps make you feel full).
In the end I really believe you can lose weight as long as you are controlling portions, which was my biggest problem for snacks... my favorite snack of ALL TIME is the BIGGEST mixing bowl we have full of salted popcorn. And yes, I would sit and eat the ENTIRE. THING. FULL. Now I pour a measured serving. That's really hard for me.0 -

Ditto on the bowl of popcorn....
Thanks all for the suggestions

On weekdays : 2 cups of cereals in morning, in lunch have some corns/sprouts, 2 egg whites and a fruit bowl / wheat tortilla, for dinner usually take soup and a veg wrap / subway.
On weekends, have a heavy brunch usually tuna wrap or Grill Fish or chicken breasts with some rice (boiled)....and then dinner having tortilla wraps or chicken salad sandwich...0 -
I've recently started using my panini press and take a small tortille (the chi chi's brand that's high in fiber) and put a couple chopped up mini peppers and low fat cheese, fold it over and make a little quesidilla. Drop a tbs of sour cream on it and it's really good and the tortilla makes me feel full.0

Made this for dinner last night- totally worth it, it was delicious. I substituted pine nuts with sunflower seeds though. Only 373 calories a serving (my change affected this), and this makes 4 servings if you have 4 chicken breasts to do. It's a MyFitnessPal recipe too! 0

Okay another recipe I tried that was AWESOME is this- a creamy garlic pasta with shrimp and veggies like asparagus, peppers and peas. But I made some changes and the calories ended up being a tad lower than the original recipe. I made an alfredo sauce following this recipe using Greek plain yogurt and let me tell you it was delicious. I'm a cheesy sauce fiend, and using yogurt in place of cream cheese is actually amazing and totally worth it- if you think it sounds weird give it a try and you'll be amazed- I couldn't even tell it was yogurt at all.0

Just made this Butternut Squash and Spinach lasagna for dinner tonight. Pretty awesome. 8 total servings, with 263 calories per serving (I used part skim ricotta and 1% milk).0

Today, my wife tried something new and it was real cool and with low calorie...I love quesadilla, so today instead of using regular cheese she tried adding soy cheese and served with some tuna on sides....so, high protein, low fat/carbs and more importantly dinner under 400 cal...loved it0

Does the soy cheese melt like regular cheese? How was the flavor? I've never had soy cheese!0 -

It did melt...she applied it shredded...required some extra heating too...as for flavor...it was not same as regular cheese but added some salt and some chicken and it tastes good.
