Super hungry day, for some reason! Breakfast: fried ham, yeasted waffles with yogurt butter and raspberry preserves, coffee. Lunch: roast beef & cheddar on a ciabatta roll; raw broccoli, cauliflower, and cherry tomatoes. Dinner: homemade mac & cheese (prepped yesterday), more fried ham, steamed baby carrots and green…

Breakfast: onion bagel with herb schmear, hazelnut almond milk latte. Lunch: roast beef & cheddar on a ciabatta roll, raw broccoli, cauliflower, and cherry tomatoes. Dinner: snacks/clearing out the fridge -- shrimp cocktail, crackers & cheese, assorted raw vegetables, etc. Snacks: apples, honey-sesame cashews.

Breakfast: homemade soda bread with Kerrygold and blueberry preserves, Morningstar sausage patties, iced moka. Lunch: McDonald's, because it's my first day back at work after vacation -- double cheeseburger, fries. Dinner: St. Paddy's leftovers! Guinness-braised corned beef with potatoes, carrots, and cabbage. Snacks: it's…

Nope, I lied. I'm working through lunch, so instead of my prepped salad (which is at home) I ordered a baked potato and small grilled chicken salad. I'll have the Mediterranean quinoa salad for dinner.

I prepped a huge batch of Mediterranean quinoa salad last night, if that counts. If not, the last meal I cooked would be homemade mac and cheese with sauteed cauliflower, yellow squash, and green beans on Tuesday.

I eat a lot of different breakfasts! My only rule is I have to focus on the two Ps: protein and produce. I like egg sandwiches with spinach and tomatoes, or cottage cheese with berries and toast, or toaster waffles with sausage and a piece of fruit, or egg bites packed with greens and peppers... just whatever. As long as I…

Breakfast: 4:45AM banana; 7:15AM two toaster waffles with yogurt butter and blueberry preserves, two Morningstar sausage patties, iced moka. Lunch: just an enormous bowl of the Mediterranean quinoa salad I made last night. Dinner: I want to say I'll make something nice and balanced, but I've been dropping the ball lately,…

Breakfast: three sous vide egg bites (power green, bacon & smoked cheddar, greens & tomatoes), apple slices with peanut butter, iced moka. Lunch: ordered a grilled chicken salad and Johnny bites (little balls of potato, cheese, and green chili) from a local place. Dinner: either more ravioli with garden sauce or mac and…

I don't prep whole meals, but I do prep a few things each weekend. This weekend I made chicken bao, sous vide egg bites, and steamed four artichokes. I basically make a few things I can slot into meals as needed, depending on my time constraints on any particular day. If I find I'm not using something I made -- say, if I…

Breakfast: sous vide egg bites (one power green, one smoked cheddar and bacon, one tomatoes and kale), Morningstar sausage patty, blood orange, iced moka. Lunch: chicken baozi, artichoke with lemon butter. Dinner: cheese ravioli with garden sauce (again), steamed green beans. Snacks: crackers with cheese or peanut butter,…

Breakfast: vanilla Greek yogurt, blood orange, hazelnut almond-milk latte. Lunch: hoisin chicken baozi, spinach-and-kale salad with lemon-herb dressing. Dinner: ravioli with garden sauce, artichoke with lemon butter. Snacks: apples, crackers and cheese.

I like light roast best for drip coffee, cold brew, and French press; I use a dark roast or espresso beans for my moka pot and espresso machine. Lately I've been using Cafe du Monde (blue can, no chicory) in the moka pot, pouring it over ice, and adding juuuuust a little milk or sweet cream. If I have hot coffee I tend to…

You are, as ever, a voice for all that's right in the world. :D

Breakfast: two plain toaster waffles, plum, blood orange, iced moka. Lunch: leftover steamed chicken dumplings with hoisin, cold whole artichoke with lemon butter; today's theme is "dipping" and I am into it! Dinner: gonna go full lazy with baked corn dogs and steamed green beans, both of which come directly from the…

Breakfast: fruit salad, banana, and iced moka at home; BLT guacamole burrito on the way to work. Lunch: crudites (cherry tomatoes, baby peppers, snow peas), leftover thin-crust Hawaiian pizza. Dinner: either leftover pork tamales with garden salad, or cheese ravioli with garden sauce and sauteed yellow squash; I haven't…

Breakfast: iced moka, crackers with cheese, orange. Lunch: a couple chicken tenders and assorted crudites (snow peas, baby carrots, grape tomatoes, mini peppers) with ranch dip. Dinner: tamales! And then more tamales! Okay, probably only two tamales, but I am still excited. More crudites, too, as I am lazy.

No. The weight of 8 fluid ounces (by volume) of pasta will not be the same as 8 weighed ounces of pasta. That's the point. Because 8 fluid ounces measures volume -- size -- not weight. Eight weighed ounces of pasta is half a pound, or half a standard box, which is four servings. Eight fluid ounces of pasta, who knows? It…

Not to ruin your joke, but fluid ounces aren't a weight measurement; they're a measurement of volume. This is why the distinction matters.

Breakfast: giant iced moka (so tired), Greek yogurt, blackberries & raspberries, toaster waffle with yogurt butter. Lunch: leftover meatballs and garlic bread, sliced tomato, broccoli. Dinner: fish sandwiches (baked breaded cod, lemon mayo, lettuce, tomato, kaiser roll) and crudites (broccoli, cherry tomatoes, celery, baby…

My ravenous appetite has abated; I'm not hungry at all this morning. Breakfast: iced moka (and I plan to take a yogurt and a couple clementines to work, just in case). Lunch: leftover steak and truffle risotto from last night, sliced tomatoes, raspberries and blackberries. Dinner: mushroom mania continues with pasta in…

I like to chuck frozen turkey meatballs into the slow-cooker or Instant Pot with a jar of red sauce. I serve them with garlic bread (also frozen) and a big salad, but you can serve them over pasta, with roasted vegetables, on toothpicks with cubes of cheese, in a wrap or sandwich, etc. I'm also seconding the Dole salad…

I have been STARVING the past couple of days -- I actually scrapped yesterday's lunch plan for McDonald's -- so my meals are a little heavier than usual. I think it's because I ate lightly for a couple of weeks while my movement was super restricted? Who knows. Breakfast: two toaster waffles with yogurt butter and syrup,…

Breakfast: two toaster waffles with yogurt butter and syrup, Greek yogurt cup, clementine, iced moka. Lunch: caprese Lean Pocket, baby carrots, sliced tomato. Dinner: chicken salad, sauteed yellow squash, slice of homemade beet bread. Snacks: walnut brownie with a scoop of salted caramel cheesecake ice cream on top (!!).

Breakfast: Greek yogurt, mini apple, iced moka. Lunch: salmon salad on saltines, baby carrots, sliced tomato. Dinner: leftover chicken/broccoli/rice casserole again. Snacks: fruit, cheese, maybe a stroopwafel if my willpower is low.

Breakfast: scrambled egg, brioche toast with yogurt butter, mini apple, iced moka. Lunch: the last half-serving of Monday's nachos (seasoned ground beef, black beans, tomatoes, scallions, jalapeno slices, jack cheese), baby carrots and tomato slices. Dinner: last night's leftovers transmuted into a broccoli/chicken/rice…

Breakfast: key lime yogurt, miniature apple; hazelnut almond-milk latte at work. Lunch: I'm thinking Subway -- turkey sub, lots of vegetables -- but my son is home sick today and may want comfort food, in which case I'll have to pick up McDonald's, right? Right. This is pure logic. Dinner: quick rice bowls with chicken,…

You'll need to look for entries that already have grams as an option in the drop-down menu (being sure to check them against the USDA's database for accuracy) or make your own entries from scratch using the USDA database or the nutrition label of your food. Something I did when I was using a scale was just figure out what…

I had three slices of thin-crust pizza and a glass of milk. Helthz! B)

Breakfast: leftover thin-crust pizza with artichoke hearts, Canadian bacon, and olives; glass of milk; no coffee, which means I am Very Sad. Lunch: crudites (cucumber, broccoli, baby carrots) with ranch dip again, and a few crackers with peanut butter. Dinner: I'm taking my son clothes shopping after work, so my reward for…

Breakfast: turkey-and-cheddar sandwich, iced moka. Lunch: crudites (tomatoes, cucumber, broccoli, baby carrots, yellow pepper) with ranch dip, and... that might be it, because I really, really need to go shopping. Dinner: pizza if my cat's vet bill isn't astronomical; leftover Instant Pot "roast" chicken, rice, and yellow…
