what are your favourite meals to eat when trying to lose weight?

Anything that keeps me somewhat full for longer than 30 minutes. I love roasting veggies (broccoli carrots & cauliflower together). I'm eating more plant based at the moment so not as much meat although sometimes I like grilled salmon. I think I got really sick of chicken trying to eat "healthy" so I began eating what sounded good more often. I found some really good quinoa/oat blends of hot cereal that are good..usually I will add a scoop of Vega chocolate protein in that. I love poached eggs on whole wheat bread.

Curry or pizza. I love both.

The type of food doesn't matter as long as you eat less calories than you burn.

I have eaten pizza every week since I started in September. Other than that I eat a large variety of foods and attempt to eat more fruits and veg.

Yesterday, I went to Longhorn Steakhouse....I had a 6 oz sirloin and sliced tomatoes with a little side of Italian dressing for the tomatoes. I would have had some of their wheat bread if they'd had any. LOVE IT.

Grilled chicken quesadilla's, garlic chicken or sesame chicken, roast beef with mashed potatoes and green beans.

As for snacks - I have a dorm fridge in my laundry room that has Greek yogurt, light string cheese, water, apples in it. Next to it is my snack box that has snack bags of pretzels, little "Jif to go" packets, peanut butter cracker pkgs, protein bars - things that are about 100 calories each. That way - I have a safe zone to go get something to munch on - and it's not in the kitchen where the other junk is. The funny thing is - the rest of the family has started raiding it. Then the other day, my youngest came in here with something and said, "Is this healthy?" It was a small bottle of Sunny D. I told her for her, it was probably reasonably healthy since she doesn't have it all the time. SHe said, "Then I don't want it." And set it down and walked away. LOL

My meals are not the same as when I was fat but they are ones I enjoy. Some of my more common meals include chicken breast, turkey breast, salmon, tuna, steak, pork chops, shrimp, calamari, chicken sausage, swai fillets, eggs, mushrooms, roasted asparagus, roasted green beans, roasted okra, black beans, sweet potatoes, rice, salsa, blackberries, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt (usually mixed with chocolate whey), halo top icecream...

I make egg drop soup with lots of celery, onion, and mushrooms in addition to the egg. Start off with 2 cups of water. Sometimes I add an ounce or 2 of chicken. Another is pasta shrimp veggies with garlic sauce. The biggest and most important is that I weigh all the ingredients so I can log it. Keeps me on track. My kitchen scale is worth its weight in gold as far as keeping my portion control accurate.

I eat the same foods I always did just in appropriate portion sizes for my goal.
Things I typically eat:
Breakfast- Greek yogurt, granola bars, cereal with milk, sandwich, dinner leftovers, fruit, cottage cheese
Lunch- sandwich, salad, or dinner leftovers
Dinner- something different every night of the month. I have soup once a week usually.
Snacks- things like fruit, chips, popcorn, pretzels, chocolate, cookies, granola bar, carrots, celery, broccoli, trail mix, deviled eggs, pickles, cottage cheese

Chicken with a 1/2 cup rice and steamed broccoli.
Breakfast - 1 egg poached on a slice of Sara Lee 45 & delightful wheat bread with a little avocado, mustard, tomato and spinach leaves.
I will sometimes put several chicken breasts in a slow cooker on Sunday and use it through out the week - add 2 ounces to a frozen meal (prefer Healthy Choice), top a salad with it, make a chicken salad sandwich (low calorie mayo), etc.
Snacks - string cheese or babybel, 6-7 almonds, fruit, popcorn, a few ounces of cooked shrimp, raw carrots, 1 pc. of Dove dark chocolate (just enough to take care of the craving).
