Here's what was on my plate today...it was a weird day because I was out of the house at lunchtime so I kind of had a snack while I was out and a snack when I got home and that made a lunchish type combination...
Breakfast - Mock Danish from the Phase 1 recipes section (I wouldn't do this again - it was odd), 16 ounces tomato juice
Snack - about a cup of snap peas and a cheese stick
Snack - about a cup of steamed soybeans with a drizzle of olive oil and salt and pepper and a sugar-free Jell-O
Dinner - homemade broccoli, cauliflower, tomato soup from the Phase 1 Soups and Stews recipes
Dessert - NSA ice cream with a drizzle of peanut butter on top
Tuesday:
B-Scrambled eggs w/broccoli, mushrooms, peppers and l/f cheese & 1/2 c. Kashi Go Lean cereal, 1 c. V8
S-Almonds
L-Grilled chicken breast, steamed broccoli, side salad
S-Steamed broccoli
D-Either left over broccoli cheese soup or chili.
80 oz. water and coffee to drink. Wow I eat alot of broccoli. I hadn't realized that before.
Le menu du jour:
B - Turkey meatloaf sandwich, open faced, coffee
S - V8 and a string cheese
L - Leftover chicken stir fry
S - apple with peanut butter and a latte
D - Maryland crab soup with salad
S - ricotta creme
Tuesday:
B: Same old turkey sandwich, but I love them...with lots of lettuce, tomato and some left over vegs from last night.
S: Same old apple and live active cheese
Dinner: Going to stuff some chicken with laughing cow+fresh herbs from the garden...not sure on vegs yet..whatever they have fresh at the vegetable stand on the way home!
After that, it's anyone's guess..after our dinner at 2 each day, it's every man for himself.
Love Sorry guess I should have mentioned that the Kashi bars aren't 100% legal. They are one of the things I have added since maintaining and I don't eat them often although there is another one on my desk today. They don't seem to bring on any cravings for me though.
I have a new favorite breakfast! French toast made with Healthy Lite bread made with flax seed. Topped with peanut butter, sugar free syrup and a banana added to the pan at the end to warm and brown a bit. Again the banana is something that I think is a bit iffy for people but something I don't have an issue with and this breakfast keeps me full well into the morning! Why do I have visions of Elvis everytime I eat this?
Snack yes the kashi bar again and yogurt
lunch egg salad (kara I swear we are on the same wave length sometimes) and cottage cheese.
Snack V8 and string cheese
Not sure on supper yet!
Breakfast - radish "homefries" (SO GOOD!!!) with onions, pepper and mushroom frittata with a sprinkle of cheddar on top
Snack - pumpkin seeds (I hope this was legal - saw them at the store and they looked like a good little snack, nothing but pumpkin seeds and a little salt in them)
Lunch - leftover eggplant casserole from the other night with a side salad of romaine, tomato, and cucumber with olive oil drizzled over top
Snack - about 6 ounces of tomato juice and a cheese stick
Snack - "peanut butter cup" and 16 ounces of milk
Lunch was late today and we were out for the evening so I didn't really have dinner, per se. Also got in 80 ounces of water.
This will be a tough day. I have an evening dinner meeting at a steak restaurant. Talk about a vegetarian's nightmare, even worse when I'm thinking about my food choices
B: one egg with lots (1.25c) zucchini, mushrooms and lf cheese
Coffee (of course
L: Leftover white bean soup with escarole, half a boca italian sausage
S: apple crisps, soy nuts
D: salad with hummus (I'm bringing some because I doubt the restaurant will have it. this place is an iceberg lettuce salad bar)
S: greek yogurt with almonds & agave if I need more calories when I get home
B - peanut butter toast, egg, coffee
S - V8, string cheese
L - crab soup, salad
S - apple with peanut butter, latte
D - marinated chicken breast, roasted red pepper soup
S - ricotta creme
Kara, heres what I did for the soup:
In a saucepan comine 2 wedges Laughing Cow Lite Cheese (any flavor desired), 1/2 can evaporated skim milk, 1 bouillon cube (veg or chicken), 1/2 cup water, a dash of red pepper flakes, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar (lowfat if desired), 4 cubes roasted red pepper puree. Heat until smooth and creamy.
Last fall I roasted a bunch of peppers, pureed and froze them in an ice cube tray. The 4 cubes is about the equivalent of 3 - 4 peppers. I'm sure the bottled peppers would work too, just puree them to desired consistency. This was so yummy we wanted to lick our bowls. It made enough for me and DH to have a couple of bowlsful each
I made this up a few weeks ago trying to re-create a restaurant dish I love. Actually, I didn't end up making it tonight, didn't end up having dinner at all, because I ran out of time before leaving for DD's performance. We went to Cold Stone Creamery after and I got the sugar free ice cream. It was nasty, so not worth it. I ate a couple of spoonfuls of DDs ice cream and boy do I feel sickish! Serves me right.
Okay for me today:
B- 1 Light yogurt
S- Almonds
L- Turkey, lettuce, little bit of mayo, green peper, cheese and whole wheat wrap.
S- Sf fudscicle, ff cool whip, 1tsp. peanut butter
D- Grilled chicken salad
Lots and lots of water and of course my Diet Coke!
I guess it was an okay phase 2 day. I would have never made it this far if it wasn't for the peanut butter cup dessert. wow....
Breakfast - eggplant "french toast" and scrambled Eggbeaters with 8 ounces of tomato juice
Snack - pumpkin seeds
Lunch - leftover soup from the other day
Snack - bean brownie
Dinner - portobello "pizza" with broccoli and cauliflower
Dessert - sugar-free Jello with Cool Whip
Wow I eat alot of broccoli. I hadn't realized that before.
