Hi Ali,

Breakfast:
Instant oatmeal pack (low sugar) 100/120 cal
Bananas (sm 45 cal) or Strawberries (1/4 cup 24 cal/cut up & sprinkled with Splenda, keeps at least 5 days in frig)

Egg beaters (1/2 cup cheese & chives or southwestern) with fresh peppers green,red, onions & mushrooms sautee with Pam & I can't believe it's butter spray, then pour in egg beaters. Under 100 cal

Dessert:
Double churn, sugar free van. ice cream, strawberries, lite Hershey's syrup & whip cream. I have an ice cream scoop that' 1/4 cup and with everything else that seems to be enough and it's only 91 cal.

dinner
I try to make a normal dinner that the entire family will enjoy, but I use, fat free, light, reduced, less olive oil and things like that to make it healthier.
i.e. tonight,
chicken pot pie,
cut up chicken, sauteed in a little olive oil, mixed in healthy campbells cream of chicken soup, 2/3 bag of frozen veggies, chicken stock, put in dish, mixed reduced fat bisquick, fat free milk and 1 egg, put it on top and baked. Came out quite yummy. And noone was the wiser!

The other night I made pasta (ronzoni smart) with sauteed shrimp in chicken stock, garlic, olive oil, parsley and lemon juice. Really good. (I had that for lunch today too!)

Dessert
pretzel sticks, grapes, orange, edys slow churned strawberry yogurt, lots of water!
oh my god, I had to edit, b/c I got hungry while I was typing this and went to get dessert. And I just made a totally yummy dessert! Strawberries, no cal, no nothing marshmallow dip by Walden something or other and drizzled honey on it! oooweee! it's yummy!
