What are you eating for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

So far I have had key lime light and fit yogurt and red grapes

I am about to go get lunch which will probably be some sort of salad!

    Breakfast I had cereal and a cup of milk. Mid morning snack I had grapes and string cheese. Lunch I just ate a lean gourmet meal and a plum.

    Later this afternoon I plan to have some granola and for dinner I am thinking a turkey burger and a salad or chicken breast with a salad and lite french dressing.

    I usually total about 1400 calories a day.

    Remember to eat snacks people :smile: and drink plenty of water :drinker:

    I know they are hard to find and sometimes they are already rotten on the inside with mold, it is so sad when that happens, what a loss :cry:

    It seems weird I know we are suppose to eat snacks, but they make me hungrier then if I dont eat them, it is like I get the taste of food and then I want more and more and more........
    Anyone else like that. Snacks are my downfall

    Depends on what kind of snacks you're eating and how much time you are waiting in between.

    I generally eat breakfast at 8:30. Snack at 10:30. Lunch at 12:30. Snack at 3 and then dinner when I get around to it. Sometimes if I have dinner earlier than I'll have a small snack around 6 or 7pm.

    Also, if you are hungry in between that means your matobolism is kicking up. That's a good thing. Burn more without extra effort.

    Breakfast was:

    30 min. cardio (LOL not food I know, but now it's how i wake up)
    1 cup grits, cooked
    1 package light hot cocoa (mixed in the grits, yum!)
    2 whole eggs
    1 cup coffee with 1/3 cup light soy milk and a tbsp splenda

    Lunch was:

    3/4 cup cooked whole wheat spaghetti
    4 oz. 90/10 ground beef
    1/2 cup natural chunky tomato sauce

    Pre/post workout will be:

    1 Dannon Light n' Fit yogurt
    1 med. apple
    1/2 cup Cheerios
    1/2 cup mixed veggies

    Then I have about 700 calories left for 6-11 pm...probably will have rice with beef and veggies. My after-work snack is usually a granola bar or apple with string cheese.

    My snacks are healthy, they are something like a lowfat cheese stick and a piece of fruit or I'll have some carrot sticks.
    Just makes me want to eat more......Sad I know

    Breakfast was my usual cup of tea accompanied by strawberries (1 cup)

    Lunch was a chicken, lettuce and mustard sandwich with chips, string cheese and apple sauce.

    Snack will be the holy Peppermint Patty I've been hoarding forever :laugh: and another cup of tea

    Dinner is light chicken and dumpling soup (80cals! but a buttload of sodium) with a yeast roll (SO had surgery on his gums today so it's a dinner for him, I feel guilty eating too much in front of him so I ate a heavier lunch than usual)

    Night time snack - I have no idea yet but you can bet there will be one!

    Where are you getting all these yolkless eggs?!?! :laugh: :wink:
    You're missing out on about half the protein of the egg without the yolk.

    I allow myself one yolk a day. I just haven't today. I don't really like the yolk anyways. When I scramble eggs I usually have 1 yolk for every 4 eggs. That's the recommended amount. Too much cholesterol and fat. Also, the egg white has 4 grams of protein while the yolk only has 1 or 2 grams.

    It's actually about a 50/50 split, and only 4.5 g of fat in one yolk. Also, there is little evidence that supports that the cholesterol in eggs increases your LDL cholesterol, which is what you need to keep low. HDL cholesterol is protective. Egg yolk gets a bad rep, and it's good stuff. A whole egg is a complete protein and has the widest array of amino acids of any food.
