I suddenly felt an overwhelming need for eggs. They were so much a part of my life while LCing, and I hadn't had any for couple of weeks.
So after 2 lovely poached eggs with salt, pepper and mixed herbs I feel so happy.
I think I need a protein day. Tonight I will have a pork chop.0 -

Chicken tenders. I've been cooking up a package of raw tenders - poach them in a big skillet with chicken broth and seasonings. Cook 20-25 mins, cool a bit, slice as thinly as I can, and I can have a high protein satisfying snack or make it a meal. Am also loving baby dill pickles and Kimchee lately.0

Today is my first down day and I am going to try 3 cups homemade raw carrot juice (300 cal) spread thru out the day and maybe a green smoothie (spinach and frozen fruit about 150 cal) and a few cups of coffee at 20 cals each :>
In the past the only time I have reached my goal weight was when because of health issues I had to eat a very high raw diet, lots of fruit and veggies. i lost weight because I was so satisfied on very few calories. I'm going to try to juice on my down days and see if it works this time :>0 -
Tilapia - 4 oz. = 100 cal.
Fast and easy:
Spray tilapia with spritz of cooking spray, season with salt and pepper (to taste).
Bake @ 450 degree oven / toaster oven for 5 - 8 minutes.
Yum!0
