Here are a few breakfast ideas....

Instant oats- flavored even
most cereals
bowl of mixed fruit and a yogurt ( low fat)


Lunch-
Any Healthy choice dinner or entree with salad with ff dressing
turkey sandwich on lite bread and a bowl of low fat soup
ragu express kit ( there are 6 servings to a box)
Grilled chicken sandwich at Mcdonalds without mayo
wendys chili
grilled chicken salads with low fat dressings
there are lots of light frozen dinners on the market

Suppers-
Baked chicken with broccoli or just about any veggie
only use lean meats the leaner the better
the light dinners when you are on the run


there are alot more I will post for you if you need them..... ALSO very important!!! LOTS AND LOTS of whole fruits and veggies for snacks... Hope this helps

Seems like everything is LowFat,Fat free these days...Using I cant Beleive Its Not Butter Spray helps but one has to be careful to be sure and have their THREE fats per day.

As for menu's ,I havnt a clue except to incorperate everything on the food group and keep portions down...

Did I mention I gained one pound yesterday..
Boy do I feel rotton today,,,,Im back on the wagon.

I will be interested to see some of the menu suggestions too.

I made a crockpot full of mixed vegetables and added a can of vegetable juice and stewed tomatoes to eat on when I get hungry ...... it is fat free and low cal also and makes me feel full... Hope this idea helps !!

Aw, CBabe. Sorry to hear you're feeling so blue.

Low Fat...

The Low-Fat meal that is a big hit 'round these parts, and is SUPER easy, is veggie tacos!

-- 1 lb veggie ground round
-- 1 taco kit
-- low fat cheddar cheese
-- jalepenos and chiles
-- fresh organic tomatoes!

Just follow the directions on the taco kit. This meal is so simple, and if members of your family insist on the fatty beef version, you can cook it in a different pan, or if you're not vegetarian yourself, cook the beef first, then your veggie beef in the same pan later so you have some of the beef flavour but not all the fat!

I will post more ideas later! Good luck to you
