    You and me both brother. I've started adding in a tbsp of coconut oil or a serving of peanut butter at the end of the eating window if I'm low. 2 or 3 days in a row MFP was yelling at me because I only ate like 1100 calories.

    I wouldn't worry TOO much provided to get enough protein.

    Oh MFP was yelling at me so bad, I was like I'M SORRY!! and I rushed to the kitchen and ate a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter as well and whatever else I could find. I was just wasn't hungry, geeeez.

    @Baphometta How did you keep from just plowing through that? Good restraint!

    @autumnleaf259 Such a tidy lunch! I hope it tasted as good as it photographed.

    Well it was leftover salmon, which never tastes as good as fresh does, but it was good with the soup.

    I drank breakfast this morning.

    Okay, it was coffee, but it sounds tougher when I put it that way.

    I made my very favorite breakfast for lunch, though! I love a spicey, savory breakfast:

    Blue corn chips, guac, and salsa. Learning to measure my portions has been really helpful

    Dinner is mashed cauliflower (frozen/steamed) and my homemade onion and Portobello gravy, some steamed cheesy broccoli and frozen steamed broccoli macaroni assembled to look like I cooked. There's some chikn buffalo strips and some baked red potatoes with soy sauce in there as well. Very filling, I definately didn't finish.

    Meal prepped for the week :) mister gets the chicken thighs and I get the chicken breasts. About 1.25 cups of broccoli roasted with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese, and baby carrots steamed with some margarine and brown sugar glaze.

    My goals have me drinking two smoothies/protein shakes a day for meal replacements. I usually just will buy a couple bags of frozen fruit and make smoothie packs that are pre-portioned, add almond milk and protein powder. Voila. For dinner I will make something big that will last me 3-5 and portion it out. Last week it was pasta with ground turkey, sauce, mushrooms, and onions. This week its deconstructed cabbage rolls which uses ground turkey, shredded cabbage, sauce, onions, and some other stuff. For snacks I make my own protein packs or eat a Greek yogurt. So lots of repetition.


    I'm still playing around with my protein powders and just trying to see what works best for me. I've tried simply inspired vegan powder and this week I'm trying Quest.

    Man you've really got this stuff figured out. I admire your preparedness :o

    I find I always have a lot of repetition when I'm dieting. That's just kinda part of the routine you gotta get in.

    Today, no breakfast as I was in no way hungry. Cup of coffee and my first 16oz of water.
    Lunch packed. 4 hard boiled eggs, an avocado, and 3oz of cheese. Pickles and celery for snacks :)

    Zelda has thrown a monkey wrench in plans over here too :tongue:

    Here's lunch today. Pan seared pork ribs with rice and veggies. It's higher in calories (725) but I eat two times a day and kickbox in the evening so it works out.

    Yay you got Zelda! *switch envy* we got it on the Wii U. Half our mates bring it into work and play it during lunch. >_<

    Today I had my vegan Herbalife shake for breakfast. For lunch i had brown rice and okra in savory sauce (Yes im one of those weird people who likes to eat okra once a while).
    For dinner I had mushrooms in savory sauce with garbanzo bean soup and a little bit of brown rice.
    For bedtime snack I am having another Herbalife shake.

    I had to up my daily calories a little as I was not feeling satisfied because i am breastfeeding my little one. So now i am having two shakes and two meals instead of two shakes and one meal while staying within calories.

    So far so good. I havent had any cravings for sweets or cake or cookies and no white rice for two days! Woot

    I noticed that too with the MFP app. If you turn the phone screen off or scroll too far up everything disappears -_-
