lovinlifex2- I ate the banana bread for breakfast too! Sooo delicious!!! Definitely making it again. Do you make your own chicken salad? In the deli even the low fat is so high in calories. What's your recipe?

Menu Planning for Today

Breakfast: 1 banana, 1 blueberry yogurt, and one bag of 100 calorie pack of Wheat Thins

AM Snack: 1 L.A. Lite bar, and 1 apple

Lunch: I'm eating out....planning on having some eggs, maybe one or two bacon? Not too sure. I'll ask if they have turkey bacon.

PM Snack: 1 L.A. Lite bar

Dinner: Probably the leftover bruschetta chicken I made a few days ago, with lots and lots of veggies. =)

Today:

B: 3 egg whites and a piece of 100% whole wheat toast
S: Whole Wheat Ritz and a can of tuna
L: Umm...errr...whatever is in my fridge?

Probably some chicken breasts and zucchini, or peas.
S: No idea
D: Again, no idea. Probably the Weight Watcher's calzone at my work...about the only thing I can eat!

Exercise: 40 minutes of Tae Bo boot camp, painting all darned day, and waitressing for 5 hours tonight (including lifting heavy chairs on tables, moving tables, taking chairs down). Is that enough?

lovinlifex2 · 02-27-2008, 12:51 PM

cookie - again not really a recipe...just something that I tweaked to my own taste.

1 ounce chicken breast (35)
1/2 tbsp Hellman's light mayo (23)
1/2 harboiled egg white (10)
onion/celery/garlic salt (17)

I bake the chicken breast and boil the eggs on Sunday. Since I don't like to have my chicken salad sit all week I just throw all the above in a bowl in the morning. Give it a quick mix and off to work. Pair this with my Kraft swiss cheese (55) and my Sarah Lee light bread (45 a slice) and I have got a whole YUMMY sandwhich full of protien for only 230/cals.

And the HG bananna bread is sooo good. I am on my second loaf!

lovinlifex2- Your daily menu always looks so good!!! I've already "stolen" your banana bread and chicken salad recipe. Any others you would recommend? Any good like chili recipes?

lovinlifex2 · 02-29-2008, 10:22 AM

Ah, thanks cookie...

The chili I make is something that my mom has always made for us. It is kind of a sweet chili - not spicy at all. It is one of those things that you either really like or you don't like. My kids really like it.

1/2 lb 94% lean ground beef
1 pkg mild chili seasoning
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 cans pork n beans
1 can chili beans
1 can petite diced tomatoes
1/2 onion
1/2 green pepper

Brown the hamburger with the diced onion and green pepper add that to the crock pot. Then add all the other ingredients (DO NOT drain any of the cans). Stir and set it for warm for the day and you will have yummy chili when you get home.

Makes about 10 - 1 cup servings (205) per cup.

I usually serve this with a grilled cheese 2 slices bread (45 each) and swiss (55) and about 25 carott sticks (70).

You get a whole big meal for 420 calories and tons of leftovers to work with the rest of the week.
