Dinner:
normal dinner foods. I just use lower fat ingredients and wheat products
and be sure to use the correct potion size. We use to eat 2 boxes of hamburger helper and didnt even know each box has 5 servings...
also I change my ground beef to ground turkey.
After dinner, occasionally I eat frozen yogurt from braums. My whole family loves it

Breakfast:
Think Thin Protein Bar (either Peeanut Butter or Brownie Crunch)
Lunch:
Usually a Morningstar veggie patty, Sargento Light Cheesestick, either grapes, apple or veggie mix
Dinner:
1. Salad with a lean protein (grilled chicken, ground turkey)
2. Dr. Oz YOU on a Diet Chili
3. Chinese Chicken Spinach Salad
4. Lean beef patty, broccolli, black eyed peas
I don't make a habit of having a snack... but, every once in a while expecially when I have an evening work out I have a little something:
1. 1/2 apple and T peanut butter
2. Grapes
3. Mandarin oranges
I'm doing a low carb plan - less than 100g or 25% per day.
Breakfast
One of these:
~Eggs (fried, scrambled, poached, hard cooked) and homemade turkey sausage (seasoned ground turkey breast)
~Egg Bake (eggs, ham, veggies, cheese)
~Omelette with turkey breast, broccoli, and cheese
~Eggs scrambled with cottage cheese, Kalamata olives, and bell peppers
With some combination of these:
~Fruit
~Greek yogurt w/honey and walnuts
~Cottage cheese and pineapple
~Chocolate soy milk w/protein powder
~Steel cut oats
~English muffin (1/2)
~Cinnamon raisin toast
The basic breakfast idea is protein and fruit, with a grain carb added if it works with the numbers for the day.
Lunch
~Salad (leaf lettuce, cherry tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers) topped with one of the following:
Lunch meat (Hormel Natural Choice)
Tuna (one can)
Chicken breast
Chicken salad (chicken breast, yogurt, celery, walnuts)
and 1 tablespoon of dressing
~Fruit
The lunch plan is protein, veggies, and fruit.
Dinner
~Some kind of meat (chicken, turkey, ground turkey, fish, red meat, pork) that I do something to.
~And some kind of veggie or two.
