Bigdog..it says cooked grits. I probably won't bother. I made the 1/4 cup cooked oatmeal once and just thought that amount was laughable. I stick to the cottage cheese or eggs. I have tried the greek yogurt (even added half a scoop of Chocolate whey protien) and it just did not keep me full.

My husband and I have been working hard to come up with new and different things to eat. We are total foodies. Indian Food is really easy to modify for this diet. It seems a few nights a week our menu revolves our chicken, green peppers and scallions but by using different spices it really changes it up (though I smell like curry ).

RECIPE FOR MAINTENANCE
This is an old WW recipe... Called BREAKFAST COOKIES, but I use them as a snack.
1 1/4 cups quick cooking oats( I have used the regular oats with great
results)
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon powder
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 cup splenda.. If using agave nectar, it is the same amount.
Combine all ingredients together and mix well.. On cookie sheet make 5 large cookies and bake in preheated oven for 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes
until done.
When I make them, I do not make 5 large ones, I make regular size cookies, and watch baking time.

THIS RECIPE IS FOR MAINTENANCE
You are able to change this to MRC as this is a South Beach Diet recipe provided by Kaly's Kitchn.. It is very good..I used my home made pesto that I always have frozen and used soy parmesan cheese
Turkey Pesto Meatloaf with Tomato Sauce
(Makes 4-6 servings, or about 8 slices of meatloaf; recipe adapted from Turkey Pesto Meatloaf at Culinate.)
Ingredients:
2 tsp. olive oil
1 onion, finely diced
1 T finely minced garlic
1 1/2 lbs. lean ground turkey (use ground turkey with less than 10% fat for South Beach Diet)
1/4 cup basil pesto (I used my homemade Basil Pesto with Lemon, but good quality purchased pesto will be fine.)
2 T finely grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup 100% whole wheat breadcrumbs (make in the food processor from 100% whole wheat bread if you can't find whole wheat breadcrumbs)
1/4 cup low-sugar marinara sauce (I used Classico tomato and basil sauce)
2 tsp. balsamic vinegar
Instructions:
Take the turkey out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature while you prep the other ingredients. Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Spray a roasting pan with olive oil or nonstick spray (preferably a pan with some slits to let any extra fat drip out.)
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and saute the onion with medium-high heat until it's starting to slightly brown, about 7-8 minutes. Add the garlic, lower heat slightly, and saute about 2 minutes more.
Using a bowl that's large enough to get both hands into it, combine the ground turkey, sauteed onion and garlic, pesto, Parmesan cheese, salt, and whole wheat breadcrumbs. Use clean hands to mix the ingredients, just until they are combined.
Form the mixture into a loaf shape and place on the roasting pan. I like to use a butter knife to make diagonal slits into the top of the meatloaf, but that's optional.
Bake meatloaf for 40 minutes. While it bakes, stir together the marinara sauce and balsamic vinegar and after 40 minutes use a pastry brush to brush it onto the meatloaf, until it's completely covered with sauce. Continue to bake, brushing with more sauce a few more times if you have some left, until a meat thermometer shows a temperature of 160F/71C. I cooked my meatloaf for a total time of one hour and twenty minutes before it got to that temperature. Serve hot.
This freezes well. For best results, thaw in the fridge before reheating.

I cook several cups of oatmeal then have 1/4 cup with my breakfast. It is a small amount but works at least for now,LOL.

I was thinking about making meringue cookies with splenda. All that the recipe calls for is eggs whites, vanilla extract, and splenda. Would that be stretching the plan too much? I don't care for the cookies made with the supplements.

I tried the recipe in the cookbook, but cannot get them crispy, they just come out like little brown marshmallows. If you know how to make crispy merangues I welcome the knowledge.

Did you add cream of tarter? I think that might be the key. Is the meringue recipe in the new cookbook? I only have the old one.

Yup,
3 egg whites
1/8 tsp of cream of tartar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp almond extract
2 packets of sweetener
fluff eggs and cream of tartar, add extracts and sweetener and bake for an hour at 225 (I think, I know it was in the 200s) The outside was kind of crispy, but the inside was very not.

I googled it but couldn't find a definite answer. I wonder if it's the sweetener? Seems like traditional meringue has a lot more sugar. You could try to leave them in the oven for several hours after they're done baking. That might help dry them out.
