I don't think corn flakes are gluten free -- if they have "barley malt syrup" - that's a no-no for a celiac

I love mushrooms, onions, spinach & usually, but not always, some kind of cheese. Today's was eggwhites, spinach, mushrooms, onion & a little avocado to use up what was there. I made a double portion & am having the rest for tomorrow's breakfast. I occasionally use red bell peppers, tomatoes, broccoli -- sometimes just to…

2 eggs, scrambled in pam (160 cal) w/ 1 slice reg toast or 2 slices light toast (80 cal)-- make a sandwich. Puts you slightly over, but gives protein/fat/carbs & fiber. If you have egg beaters, you can have 3/4 cup for 75 cal, & add a little cheese as well

my daughter has celiac -- she does smoothies with greek yogurt & frozen fruit. Also the banana/ egg pancakes, although she adds a 1/4 cup gf flour to stabilize it. GF cereal, mixed with yogurt instead of milk -- more protein. GF toast with a little peanut butter or cream cheese (or make a sandwich with deli meat, just…

grilled chicken breasts with peaches, grilled corn, salad (tonight's dinner)

Just had my morning snack -- 1/2 cup ff cottage cheese w/ a tbsp of sugar fre jam w/ fiber- 100 cal, 14 g protein, 12 gm carb, 3 gm fiber. Don't have any with me at work, but sometimes have it on top of a cracker or flatbread.

Could be a rounding issue. For example, it might be 4.8 (rounded to 5), 0.7 (rounded to 1) 1.9, rounded to 2. Added up, it's 6.4 (rounded to 7).

Mozzarella turkey burgers (http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/mozzarella_stuffed_turkey_burgers.html) Made these last night -- skipped making the tomato sauce, & put all the cheese inside (didn't have shredded mozzarella, used 1 light mozz cheese stick cut up in each one instead- came to 222 cal/burger). Came out very…

Carolina low sodium turkey in a fiber one wrap, with avocado (if I have it) or a laughing cow light wedge, broccoli slaw or baby spinach

commercial salsa comes in a plastic jar (mine does, anyway). Should be fine for a few days.

Use a hand blender to "smooth" out the lumps -- this makes all the difference. Adding the splenda / sweetener really changes the flavor. If you don't want chocolate, skip the cocoa powder & add a little lemon juice -- then you can add fresh berries to it -- yum!!! I've also taken a mix like this, toasted a pita, flat…

If you're going to shop on your lunch hour, bring an insulated bag or cooler with ice packs in it. Problem solved!!

chocolate covered katie (desserts, not all but many are gf or can be adjusted.) About.com has a gfree recipe section. skinnytaste.com does also, I think. Don't forget, many recipes can be adjusted if the amounts of flour aren't too much (ie, for breading or thickening) by subbing in gf flour or cornstarch. I changed my…

I just got a Charge HR (early bday gift from my brother & sister -- they know I'm trying to improve my fitness!!), but am just learning about it (literally --am charging it now & have just added the app & synced it to my phone). I have no idea what to expect, but I'm a very light exerciser, hoping to improve.

I keep doing the same thing. I did really well for 4.5 months, then the last 1.5 months I've been either slacking off, or deliberately over-eating. I'm trying to get back too. However, I haven't given up, & each day start again.

skinnytaste pork chops w/ mushrooms, & roasted onion potatoes. Salad & veg

yeah, I went out for Chinese the other night and I had to pretty much guess. I looked for entries that were similar to what I got, for example I had a spring roll and a couple of steamed shrimp dumplings and they were a fairly good entries for that, as well as happy family which is the combination product but those entries…

I drank little cups of tea & water throughout the meal. Couldn't look up nutritional info, it's a standalone restaurant, but did look up what I wanted to have & picked generic entries for each, trying to be fair & not picking the lowest calorie one! I was a little hungry later, so just went to bed to avoid eating more.…

I've done it too -- it's puzzling, because I will feel awful while doing it, & scold myself, because I know better. I actually had about 2 or 3 weeks of that -- quickly put on 6 lbs, & finally listened to my inner voice & started tracking properly again. I've managed to drop those lbs again, & am now about 1/2 lb less than…

I drink it, but rarely. I usually limit my caffeine intake to the morning, with my 14oz of coffee. I try not to drink any after 3pm, because I don't want the caffeine to keep me up. Since I'm usually drinking water, I don't really have room for it. I'll occasionally drink a diet (non caffeinated) soda with my dinner, but…

I have a local bakery that sells rolls to supermarkets. The NI says 1 roll = 2.6 oz = 90 calories. I weighed the 6 rolls in the package -- 3 were 3 oz, 2 were 2 7/8 oz, 1 was 2 3/4 oz. I took the smallest, but entered it as 1.1 servings (2.75/2.6 = 1.05). I love these rolls, but hate that they're always over!! I also spot…

Today I had a breakfast wrap -- Fiber one tortilla, with a sliced hard boiled egg, some baco's (7g), some baby spinach & avocado. Put it together last night, wrapped in plastic & just ate it. Based on the actual weights of everything, it came to 260 calories. A little high in fat, but that will be balanced out later in the…

Oatmeal for breakfast, maybe overnight oats with yogurt & fruit. Certain breads & wraps are higher sodium than others, so be careful with those. Ditto shellfish (shrimp, etc). How do you fix your taco salad? Commercial seasonings & cheese are high in sodium. Homemade soups. Mrs. Dash makes some really nice sodium free…

I'd love to see the recipe!

Looks yummy!! I will be trying that out soon. I could probably also use GF all purpose flour, since the amount is so small that the sub won't matter (daugher is celiac). I wonder if you could use a round or square pie or cake pan instead.

I make changes if I need to -- but I also don't map out the entire day. Breakfast, lunch & morning snack are logged, because I have to bring them with me to work. But, if something in the cafeteria looks good, and fits my calories, I might change things. I don't always know what I'm having for dinner, but by the time I…

I always go with raw, if possible. For example, last night, I made oven fries, starting with 12 oz potatoes for 3 servings (after scrubbing). When they came out of the oven, they only weighed about 6 oz, & that value included the oil & seasonings I added to cook them.. If I took 4 oz cooked as my serving, , that would have…

Easy guacamole -- 1 med avocado, 1/3 cup favorite salsa, 1 tsp lemon or lime juice, dash salt. Cover tightly if not using right away. Tuna/ Avocado salad 1/2 med avocado, 1 can drained white tuna, 2 tbsp chopped onion, dash grated pepper, 1/2 tsp lemon or lime juice. I cube it & add it to my salad, spread it on wraps with…

I leave for work by 630 am every day, so can't eat until at least 830/9am every day. I try to wait til then anyway, because I take lunch late (1pm, or later if I use my lunch break to go to the fitness center). I have my coffee in the car on the drive in, which gives me something in my stomach if I'm hungry then. Breakfast…
