I'm starting to get tired of all my staples, and thought I would ask what others are doing for some new ideas!

    I tend to do a premixed protein shake at work during the day with my real eating in the mornings and evenings with some apples as snacks.

    I'm a vegetarian and have been making some meals from some cookbooks I have lately. I kinda just record the approx amount of ingredients in my serving to estimate my calories...since the dishes I make don't say how many calories and also the recipe makes a bunch of servings that I can take to work each week. One week I made eggplant crepes that had ricotta and spinach wrapped in baked eggplant slices, this week I made cauliflower gratin with pine nuts, raisins, onion, and parmesan cheese and I'm still eating that this week. I've been trying new things to spice up my meals of just rice/beans blabla....

    I haven't been creative lately due to lack of time/energy lately, but I like using spice to change things up. My recent favorite is poblano peppers. Easy recipe too. Blister the skin on the poblano and peel it, slice down the center, add some Mexican melting cheese (or whatever you want...chicken, black beans, etc.) and bake. Top with some salsa and there you go :) The poblano has a kick so you really don't need much more than that and all your calories are coming from the filling. The poblano is only about 13-17 calories.

    Also, I bake chicken, salmon, and tilapia with different seasonings to keep it exciting. Mission tortillas makes a low carb version. You can get that, some romaine lettuce, fat free shredded cheese, taco sauce, and tilapia for fish tacos - very yummy and quick to make! Just pat your tilapia dry with a paper towel, season it with your taco seasoning, bake or pan fry it with the Pam spray vs. oil, and when it's done you break up your fish! Shrimp tacos with a slice of avocado is also very tasty :)

    Sorry, seafood fanatic here :) low in calories, very low in fat, high in protein and Omega 3.

    Today i had a 2 oz piece of skinless chicken breast and half a slice of Trader Joe's european style multigrain bread. It was awesome! 159 cal only, and i had it in my car driving from the gym back to work. I did not feeel hungry!!! The endorphins from my workout kicked in, i felt happy... That gave me more calories to take at dinner... I will do that again! It feels very filling.
