Todays menu

Posting this again for those of you wondering what you can eat and may need ideas. The snacks I spread out over the day. Usually at 10:00, 11:30, and 3:00

Here's what I'm having today. This menu has more fat than I normally eat. Typically we have home cooked meals, but I'm feeling lazy today, so I'm having frozen premade junk with fruit and veggies added to make it a little healthier. I will probably also end up having a protein shake and a banana 'cause I'm planning on doing some lifting and running after work this evening, but I don't have the exercise logged yet. I am walking over my lunch which I do already have logged.

FYI on the beef pot pie...banquet still uses trans fat and alot of saturated fat in general and very high sodium

Yep, I know. It's the only kind they sell down here at our store, and I'm really craving it. Normally I make my own. Usually at lunch we eat homemade soups that I freeze, but none of those sounded as good as salty, fatty pot pie. I was just wanting people to see that it's okay to eat crap occationally, and still stay within your calories, and still lose weight.

GUIS!!! Make home-made pizza! Take a couple tortillas (Low carb or whatever) and put BBQ sauce down then Grilled chicken, then Red, Green Peppers & Red onion. Top off with FF Cheese AND BOTTA BING YOU CAN EAT THE ENTIRE DAD GUM THING for about 500 cals and SOO much more satisfying than 1 slice of PIZZA!!

:laugh: I'm not having 1 slice silly. I'm having 3. And I already did my extra workout to earn it. I do the tortilla thing sometimes but this is special! I love pizza- any kind of pizza, so 1 slice just doesn't cut it. :laugh:

:happy: Sometimes you just need pizza. I don't do the tortilla thing cause I hate thin crust pizza. I mostly eat it for the crust.

Thanks for posting this menu, Anna. I think it's great to see that you 1) eat 1400 calories daily, and 2) can be happy with a day when you eat pre-packaged food, because lots of us do this but feel 'lesser than', and some try to hide that.

BTW, you made me remember that I V8!!

I get those little cans of V8 and drink them while I eat some cheese. Helps me get an extra serving of veggies

We have Subway 15 miles from our house, or a really crappy cafe. Really not worth the drive for take out.:bigsmile:
