Sunday's food: Lunch is what I call Mexiwraps; beans, rice, taco meat, whatever you like wrapped up into a tortilla and eaten out of hand. I logged chips but didn't eat them. Huh.
Dinner will be eggs, turkey sausages, tater tots, and an English muffin with butter and jam. I could have a waffle with sugar-free syrup for the same calorie price, but I don't want it. My girlfriend's having one though.
Yesterday boiled shrimp, corn and red potatoes in Old Bay seasoning. Tasty, easy and very low cal. I was not TRYING to have a super low cal meal lol. I went ahead and cooked my portion in a small pot separate from the family's. Approximately 8 oz of shrimp, 4 oz of potatoes and 3 oz of corn and it ended up being a pile of food on my plate when it was done. But the shrimp is SO lean/low cal...
Tonight is Hunan chicken: Chicken cubes cooked with garlic and ginger and red pepper, heat to suit us, and steamed broccoli and either white rice or caulirice, depending.
Big 4oz patty of lean organic ground beef, mixed with steak sauce and chopped onions. Topped off with a diced tomato and some fat free cheddar cheese. Buns not invited.
Cold King prawns marinated in lime and chilli With cous cous seasoned with EVO and coriander , avocado, grated carrot, sweetcorn, cucumber, rocket/watercress salad and pomegranate seeds! Its sooo good in the summer! Sometimes I used feta in place of the avocado.

Tonight is jerk chicken w/ cilantro-lime rice & corn on the cobb.
Chicken is marinated in a mix that includes: pineapple juice, white onion, green onions, lemon juice, allspice, nutmeg, coarse ground pepper, soy sauce, garlic, habanero peppers, cinamon, brown sugar. I may be forgetting something. All of that is chopped up, poured over chicken breast pieces that have been salted/peppered. Then will cook the chicken tonight in a skillet on the stove top.
We had beef marsala with orecchiette pasta and pan-seared asparagus, finished with butter, cracked black pepper, and sea salt. (I didn't have asparagus because I don't like it; Boyfriend didn't have pasta because he's low-carb.)
Supper was supposed to be roasted chicken and dressing and gravy with green beans. Now, this is normally not that hard to do; I have the chicken roasted, carved into portions, and frozen in a pan with broth. I also have the dressing (I usually do it in muffin cups to portion it) ready in the freezer.
Except I forgot to get the chicken out til 3 pm for a 5 pm dinner, and I didn't have the stuffing made. So I swapped Thursday and Wednesday, put the chicken in the fridge, and made spaghetti and meatballs instead. I'll make stuffing tomorrow morning when it's cool and then I can just warm things up in the microwave later in the day.
Two hamburger patties with one slice of cheese halved on each one with peas, and bakec lays chips. I really like this meal 😝 I know beef gets a bad name, but I just squeeze it in my macros and it hasn't stalled my weight loss. The chips were a treat my hubby got for me on date night I squeeze in my macros too 🐥
Tonight was turkey meat sauce over zucchini and summer squash with salad. I started paleo a month ago and luckily like this a lot, most of my recipes I can't use anymore!
I made chicken Quesadillas for dinner last night. only 325 calories. I used a low carb tortilla, light sour cream, regular cheese (I can't make this change!!). It was delicious and filling.
Tonight is probably take out unless I can convince hubby to make something. I have a medical procedure today and I don't expect to be able to do much standing afterwards.
