    A sampling of what I eat;

    I eat oatmeal or a protein shake with a banana for breakfast. sometimes peanut butter on Ezekiel bread, toasted.

    salad with chicken or turkey or quinoa with "greek salad " mixed in and a V8 for lunch

    For snacks: almonds, protein bars, fruit, veggies and hummous, hard boiled eggs, cheese strings, greek yogurt

    Dinner is usually whatever I make for my family( stir fry, chicken with rice and veg., sushi, pasta...)
    I limit process foods and try to cook from scratch, especially to keep the sodium down.


    I have no problem eating 2000 calories a day. I watch my portions for dinner, and always allow for a glass of wine or two a few times a week and a Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich for dessert nearly every night.

    breakfast - weetbix (cereal) + chia seeds + honey and milk
    Lunch - turkey, avocado, swiss cheese and salad sandwiches or bread roll
    Dinner - about 180 gram of chicken or steak + vegies + 30 grams feta cheese and occassionally some coucous

    Snacks are a banana with a tablespoon tahini or peanut butter, protein shakes with milk, protein bars, occassionally ill treat myself with a piece of fruit cake or some stewed apples with dates or sultanas with some custard...most days I have a piece of chocolate as well.

    Breakfast is Organic Peanut Butter on a piece of Whole Wheat Bread and 1 cup Fat Free Choc Milk and an Apple

    Lunch is usually a Salad with chicken.

    Dinner is lean chicken or pork (allergic to Beef), potato or rice, and broccoli, green beans or other "green veggie"

    Snacks are what I had to add when I went to EM2WL and that's: soybeans, kashi bars, protein drinks, almonds, Fiber One Brownies.

    I try to be mindful of Sodium and have found a couple of good ones in Starkist Low Sodium Tuna Packets and Maple Grove Farms Sugar Free Balsamic Dressing. (note that "Sugar Free" USUALLY means "loaded with Fat and Salt" but not in this case)

    In response to the above post....


    I have lost 3 pounds, which sounds totally lame, but I only have 8 max to lose. I have been trying to figure out calories since joining MFP in March and it was not until up upped my calories to 2000 that I lost anything! I also cut down my workouts to 3 strength training and 2 max cardio days which consist of long walks or maybe a 25 minute jog.

    I had tried 1200 plus exercise cals= nothing

    1500 plus exercise cals= nothing

    1750 eating only to BMR= nothing ( and I waited it out for 5+ weeks..)

    finally said, " screw it! I have nothing to lose, cuz nothing is happening!!" and I decided to up to close to my TDEE and just use my exercise as a small deficit.

    In less than 10 days: 2 pounds and an inch off my waist, an inch off my hips. I have not measured anything else, but will from now on!

    I think my body needed to "know" that I was going to feed it well, give it lots of rest, and train consistently but not crazily.

    Seems to be working now. FINALLY!

    I have lost 3 lbs in 2.5 weeks, one pants size and dropped my body fat by .5% and this is what I eat:

    B-egg beaters with salsa and ham mixed in, 2 slices dempster's bodywise bread OR oatmeal with berries and brown sugar OR protein pancakes OR a high fibre cereal like great grains or Kashi.

    L-tuna sandwich OR chicken wrap OR leftovers and I always have a couple servings of fruit or veggies with it.

    D-whatever I make for the fam and it is always different but these are things we eat on a regular basis: spaghetti made with a high fibre pasta, stir fry, wraps, BBQ meat with grilled veggies and fresh bread, shake n bake coated chicken with salad and bred or basmati rice, basically any meat with potatoes or rice and veggies, butter chicken with naan, pad thai etc.

    Snacks- greek yogurt with all bran buds, banana with peanut butter or apple with PB, light hot chocolate with marshmallows, almonds and grapes, protein bar

    And on days that I workout I throw in a glass of chocolate milk after my workout (I don't drink protein shakes so this is as close as I'm going to get lol).
