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 :)

Thanks ArtsyGirl, they look good.

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! :carrot:
