:flowerforyou:

typically i eat for breakfast 3/4 of a cup of cheerios with milk

lunch a salad (mixed lettuce or fresh spinich leaves arugalla all kinds of lettuce tomatos red onion) with 3 tablespoons of light italian dressing. on the side either chicken cutlets or fish (salmon tuna lox) (i cut out cheese this much i will let it back in but i was experimenting) i eat morning star farms products (fake meat and chicken) or tuna in a low carb tortilla or low carb whole wheat wrap with lettuce and tomato.
snack
sometimes 1/2 an avocado (in gaucamoli) with these garden veggie sticks (they are like pringles and really yummy) but no more than 1 whole avocado spread out over two days in one week.

also snack i eat 20 almonds and an apple sometimes jello pudding snacks 60 calorie if i dont have then 100 calorie and i put a tspn on peanut butter and a graham cracker in it (less then 200 calories and sooooooo yummy) a lot of the time i dont even put the graham cracker.

dinner i will have fish chicken meat always veggies low fat hot dogs sometimes pastrami or salami it depends i experiment but lots of fish and chicken. and water lots of water
