ideas for 5 small meals a day

people at my office ask how I lose weight b/c they say I eat ALL the time - and I do. I love it!

I eat approx. every 3 hours. It's definitely the way to go! I've been eating like this since July and rarely get bored with it. Good luck!

Breakfast - 2 egg whites, 2 slices WW toast and slice cheddar cheese
or 2-3 egg whites, oatmeal with brown sugar and cinnamon

I snack a lot on apples - but try to eat whole, natural almonds with it - so I have a better balance of protein with my carb.
I keep protein bars on hard - my fav is zone performance -chocoloate peanut butter
South Beach makes a mini protein snack bar - peanut butter that is really good

I eat alot of chicken breast (of course) - but also make a lot of tilapia! which I love! I try to be creative - for example - the first cold spell I made chicken chili for my family! it was so good and healthy too!

Fish tacos are awesome.

I keep a food journal - and just work to keep it from getting boring.

- pita with hummus
- sandwitches with a variety of things: pb&j, hummus, cheese, salami, turkey, ham, mustard, chicken, tuna fish w/ relish and yogurt (instead of mayo).... or a combo of these things.
- apples, bananas, GRAPES, yes, delicious! strawberries are LOVELY as well, sweet, juicy, mmmm.
- soup (never made it myself, at that point it was mooched or bought)
- chicken with a side of veggies and some sweet yams
- eggs with ham and cheese

er, some meals i eat.
