    Cottage Cheese lovers try adding some fresh dill and shred a piece of cucumber. Much cheaper than Rachael Rays' Cottage Cheese. Very good and refreshing and gives that High Protein Low Fat Cottage Cheese some zing!

    I know that some of us plan our meals out in advance, so whats on your menu for today?
    Yesterday i had meat for the first time in about two weeks. Well I am some one who retains water very bad from the meat even if i don't put any salt in it. So today i am back on track with no meat to continue my weight loss and have no water retention. Here's my menu for the day....

    Breakfast: 2 cups of black coffee with Stevia and 1 cup of watermelon- lots of water
    Snack: 1 whole mango and 1 cup of honeydew melon- lots of water
    Lunch: Large fresh salad all picked from my garden- Lettuce, cucumber, radishes, tomato w/ homemade Asian garlic lime dressing- Lots of water.
    Snack: 1 cup carrot sticks w/ lots of water
    Dinner:Home made ice tea w/ stevia and home made mango salsa stuffed in iceberg lettuce leafs.

    I cant wait for dinner. LOL

    Whats on you menu for today???

    You eat like I do...NICE!

    I know everyone is saying i need more protein. Here's the thing though, This is just my meals for today. I eat a lot of protein usually. I still eat eggs and beans and brown rice. I also eat cheese, cottage cheese and yogurt. I like some deli meat too.I just don't eat a lot of red meat ,pork, fish and chicken. Meat now a days have so many growth hormones and other crap in them to preserve the meat. I am happy with eating little to no meat. Everyone's bodies are different. Mine just functions better without out a lot of animal meat. Some people i have seen eat more protein than veggies and fruit. what ever works for them, I don't feel offended in anyway. This is all just constructive feed back:)

    So far I've had a cup of chocolate soy milk, 2 oz of hummus, 10 whole grain crackers and a nectarine. I've got a V8 in my bag that I'll probably drink an 1/2 hour or soy, maybe have a handful of almonds with it.

    Not sure yet about dinner but if I can get the hubby to cook it's going to be blackened catfish with a side of collard greens. If I'm cooking probably some type of beans with rice and a side of collards. (my collard greens are growing like crazy this year!)

    No protein? Are you vegetarian?

    ?? This is the second post I've seen asking this. Vegetarians do eat protein.

    Breakfast- Cream of wheat with vanilla whey protein powder
    Lunch- Banana pancakes with a side of 3 egg whites and a slice of swiss cheese
    Snack- 24 Butter toffee natural almonds
    Snack- 1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese
    Dinner- Sweet potato and asparagus, carrots, zuccini steamed with olive oil

    I know you arent asking for our input- But since you posted your food, be prepared that your gonna get alot of people saying the same thing about your diet.
    I agree- You need protein in your diet. This might work at first for you, but your gonna end up loosing all lean muscle mass. Its just not healthy to eat JUST fruits and vegtables. You need to add eggs, almonds, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, or just plain ole' protein powder. You have basically NO protein or calcium and your body needs it.

    I LOVE your menu!

    I'm also surprised at no meat or dairy for you; Not even a hint of tofu! If it works and you're not hungry, you know your body. I too have to plan out to eat right. Breakfast week day mornings for me is a PB Zone bar and tea, lunch was low-fat cheese on lite wheat bread with lettuce & tomato salad and a side of watermelon. Snack was a small cinnamon sugar donut.. an extra treat. And dinner was beef tacos with fat-free sour cream, low-fat cheese, tomatoes and letuce. I'm making meat balls now for tomorow's dinner to have with whole wheat spaghetti.

    Today breakfast was just a glass of chocolate soy milk. I probably should have had a snack because I'm SO hungry right now, but I didn't feel hungry until after 11:00 and since lunch is at noon it seemed silly to have a snack then (I could hear my mother telling my not to ruin my dinner LOL).

    Lunch is leftover bulgar with white and red kidney beans.

    Probably have some almonds and/or a Kaski granola bar around 4:00 to give a little energy for after work Zumba.

    Not sure about dinner yet. I'm thinking maybe diced sweet potatoes sauted with onion and orange roughy.
