Artsygirl do you have a link for the banana muffin recipe?
I'm not sure how to do a link so I cut and pasted. It was originally posted by Sakura.
My banana muffins were:
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (6 tbsp in my powder) (I know there is some controversy about cooking protein powder, but I've seen nothing but debating about it so eh)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 c splenda
3 small bananas
2 tbsp vanilla yogurt
3 tbsp light vanilla soy milk
1 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
cinnamon to taste
Vanilla
Icing: 7 oz ff cream cheese
splenda and cinnamon to taste
I mixed together the dry ingredients in a bowl.
Mashed the bananas and mixed them with wet ingredients in another bowl.
Combined the wet with the dry and made it into individual muffins. It made 7 large ones for me.
350*F for 30 minutes did it for me.
For the icing, beat room temperature cream cheese with splenda and cinnamon to taste. I like to ice them as soon as they come out of the oven so it melts a little and spreads easier.
My husband loved them as well.
For my muffins, the nutritional info was:
Calories: 159
Carbs: 28g
Fat: 1g
Protein: 11g
Fiber: 3g
The nutritional info will vary depending on what protein powder, milk, and yogurt someone would use though, and also the size of the bananas.
b: special k, skim milk, light oj
l: 1/2 turkey sandwich, 100 cal sunchips or doritos
s: baby carrots or special k protein bar
d: tbd by grilling bf, it's cold and we want something warm
After being snowed in for days we are pretty much on the end of our food... My calories for today are low but I haven't decided what to blow calories on yet out of what we have (Lean Cuisine? Corn flakes? Saltines? Ritz? The last 230cal bag of popcorn? Hey if I mix corn flakes with frozen strawberries maybe it'll be like Special K with red berries... I used to love that cereal. Too bad corn flakes are devoid of nutrition. )
Breakfast: 5oz chicken breast, sweet potato
Snack: ???
Lunch: 3.2 oz chicken breast, flat out wrap, provolone slice
Snack: Oatmeal with almonds and honey
Dinner: 6 oz chicken breast, spinach and onion salad
Snack: ???
I was horribly sick last week so I haven't been doing much planning. I stayed under my calories for the day but I just couldn't predict what I would want to eat. But today I am hoping to get back into planning mode:
B - Optimum Power Breakfast cereal (too sick to make it to my regular grocery store; this was all the corner store had that met my cereal requirements)
S - banana, coffee with splenda and milk
L - pita with turkey, lite chevre, and raspberry chipotle sauce; something, else, not sure what
S - blueberry fiber cake
S - NF yogurt with wheat germ, maybe an apple
D - salmon and potato bake, probably a green salad
S - low cal pudding and some mini-meringues
Exercise: back with trainer for first time in a week!
Well, I ended up with less than 1500 calories for today. I had:
smoothie
orange
salsa chicken
chicken and broccoli in orange sauce w/brown rice (finally made it tonight, and it was AWESOME! Tasted like, if not better than, the chicken a l'orange meal by Lean Cuisine)
It all came to about 1455 calories and 137g protein. I did about 20 minutes of strength training after work, too. I may still add a sugar-free Jell-o w/fat-free Cool Whip for dessert, but that will still be less than an additional 50 calories.
