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.
Breakfast
Blueberry smoothy, made with
Blueberries - Frozen, unsweetened, 0.75 cup, unthawed 59
Yoplait - Lowfat Vanilla Yogurt, 7.5 oz 213
Generic - Slivered Almonds , 0.75 Tablespoon 37
White tea O
Lunch
Banquet - Beef Pot Pie, 7 oz, 1 pie 300
Fresh - Fuji Apple, Medium, 1 medium 80
Dinner
Digiorno - Pepporoni Pizza, 1/6 pizza 330
Generic - Broccoli - Frozen, 1 CUP 50
Snacks
Red Grapes - Red Seedless Grapes, 20 grape 68
V8 - Vegetable Juice, 0.49 container (container (11.5 fl. oz.)) 34
Borden - 100 Calorie Snacks - Pepper Jack Cheese Sticks, 1 Stick (1oz) 100
General Millls - Fiber One - Chewy Bar, Oats & Caramel, 1 bar 140
Total: 1,411 Calories

hey anna its pizza night for me too, although I am indulging in it a lot more than you are, hehe about 800 cals worth :noway: lol, gonna enjoy every single bite.
Ps- I wanna steal your smoothie right off this post. mmmmmmmmmm blueberry smooties are my fave.0 -
FYI on the beef pot pie...banquet still uses trans fat and alot of saturated fat in general and very high sodium0

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!!0

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.0 -

We are having the pizza cause the kids are having friends overnight. And when I have pizza I want thick crust. I'll only have one piece which will fill me up.0 -

: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:0 -

: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.0 -
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

I love getting everyone's daily meal menus! It gives me great ideas for a little change! Like for instance, today instead of my usual oatmeal w/ a sliced apple and milk, I had:
-2 slices of 100% whole wheat toast (70 ea.)
-1 cheese slice on one piece (35 cal)
- 1/2 T reduced fat Jiff on the other piece (70 cals I think)
- Medium Fuji apple (85)
-Hot blueberry tea (0)
Total: 330 cals
Yum!!! I love bread!
