    Hi

    I got 200g of couscous and a tilapia lemon pepper filet.

    I love fish so much, I could eat it everyday.

    In addition a large cup of green tea with rasberry flavor.

    Yeah!!!! Good job! Very well balanced!!

    For me:
    1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese
    1 stick celery with 1 tbsp PB
    3 whole wheat melba toast crackers
    Blue Bunny Light Yogurt (Black current)

    It was oatmeal and cranberry juice for breakfast. I had a banana and granola bar earlier and still have 1 cup of red grapes and 2 whole wheat rice cakes for this afternoon. Dinner is a salad and left over meatloaf (I got the recipe on here and it is sooooo good!: 1.5 pounds ground turkey, 1 jar salsa, 1 can drained diced tomatos, 1/2 cup uncooked oatmeal and your choice on seasonings(salt/pepper/garlic/etc)...mix all together, put in loaf pan and bake for an hour at 400....VERY YUMMY!)

    We should share everyday!!!!

    Thanks for the link Joanna - it's the broth that's getting me, since I made my own. Haven't found a way to calculate it yet - I suppose I won't unless I get it scientifically analyzed - Not going to happen :smile: I'll just have to take my best estimate with all the info I find.

    I had a cup and a half of salad greens with cherry tomatoes and turkey diced on top. I topped it off with two tablespoons of Newman's own Light cranberry vinaigrette dressing. Dessert was one cup of fresh pineapple pieces.

    Wow - everyone's eating so healthy...

    I just started last week but I had a 6" Subway Roast Beef (no dressing, no cheese and all the fixings). Not nearly as healthy as everyone else's lunch but it's 320% better than what I would normally have choked down.
