S-nf plain yogurt w/ low sugar strawberry preserves, pear
L-homemade chicken enchiladas, V8, dk chocolate (1 square)

The goal for the day is NO COOKIES! Too many people bringing cookies to work!

I am SLOWLY crawling my way out of the holiday/nasty, rotten cold/PMS induced coma that I've been in for the past two weeks! Still not quite back to "plan", simply because I've been too exhausted to do any planning. Hoping in the next few days to plan out my days a bit better. But for today:

B-skipped
L- something WARM from the cafe downstairs
D- homemade dinner at the VFW with my husband (his last dart league night before we move to another state in January!)
S- green tea

Today's achievable goal - WATER WATER WATER! I am severely dehydrated from being sick and will drink 80 oz. of water today (10 cups)

L - chicken bol at Chipotle - rice, chicken, 2 scoops pico, hot salsa, romaine, 1/2 serving of guacamole

S - tall non fat latte

S - apple

S - carrot sticks

D - 2 egg omelet - spinach, garlic, onions, sun dried tomatoes, shrimp, black olives, artichoke hearts

I'm new here and I just found this thread. This seems like the perfect thread to me because this is the kind of diet I am trying to go by! Here's my menu
B-Skipped (slept in today-it was my day off)
L-Chicken Fettucini Lean cuisine
S-1/2 cup mixed vegies
D-1 can of tuna, 1/2 cup mixed vegies, 1 baked potato, 2 crackers
S-1 glass of cranberry juice

wndranne-do you mind sharing your recipe for homeade chicken enchiladas--this is one of my favorite foods but I'm clueless on how to make it healthy!

Casey, I would characterize this as a 'sometimes' food.

I used:
2 cans enchilada sauce, about 10oz each (read labels to get one without trans fats, some are terrible and some are fabulous)
About 2 cups cut up cooked chicken (I used rotisserie this time but anything would work-no skin)
1 med lime
1 smal can diced chili pepper (using a fresh pepper is probably better if you've got the time)
1 bunch green onions (scallions)
1 small can sliced black olives (again time vs convenience)
12 corn tortillas (preferably whole grain corn, but work with what you find)
8 oz package of part skim shredded Mexican cheese blend (or reduced fat would work too)
Cilantro to taste

Mix up the chicken, juice of the lime, drained can of chopped chilis, and about half the green onions (chopped) and cilantro (chopped), and one can of enchilada sauce (adjust amount of sauce if needed so it isn't too soupy).

Traditionally, enchiladas are rolled, but sometimes I build it like a lasagne to save time. In a 9x13 dish, put down a thin layer of enchilada sauce from the 2nd can, then put down a layer of tortillas (about 6 cover the pan), cover with the chicken mixture and about half the cheese, put down another layer of tortillas. Top with the rest of the sauce, the cheese, olives, green onion and cilantro. Bake at 350F until cheese is melted and it is bubbly.

Makes about 6 servings of 350 calories each, depending on exactly what cheese and sauce you get.
