I don't think I get in enough calcium. Don't like milk (but think I will try drinking it 2 times a day anyway) What does everyone else do for their milk requirements????
I have 1/2 a cup of 2% milk (I can't drink skim) over 1 cup of cereal in the morning and I have 1 cup of non-fat yogurt as a snack at work everyday.
Whenever I have salad I throw in an ounce of low fat cheese cut up or shredded for some color and flavor.
My aunt had osteoporosis in her ankles and my mum has athritis in her knees so I make sure I have at least 2 servings of calcium rich dairy, eat a lot of leafy green vegetables and I do a lot of walking. I also take a multi vitamin everyday.
Today for lunch I am having 1/2 can tuna with a little light mayo
(2 Pts) on top of my salad (0 Pts) and ff dressing (1 Pt) and melba toast (1 Pt) and a little becel (.5 Pt) handful of baby carrots = 0 Pt
Have a tootsie roll (1 Pt) for snack later with my tea (.5 Pt)
Total = 6 Pts
Ideal - I bought some of that cereal today. Will try it maybe tomorrow for breakfast. I read it had lots of fiber & protein and keeps you full for a long time, so I will see.
Today for lunch I had L/C Santa Fe Chicken (6 Pts) and really good.
I had a nice salad with spring mix, boston lettuce, tomatos, raw broccoli, 1 oz low fat cheddar and 2 oz chopped low fat ham. 2 tbsp of no fat Italian dressing and 3 pieces of melba toast.
Sounds yummy. Today I am meeting a girlfriend for lunch & we are going to Williams. I will have salad with tuna on top with balsamic vinegar - it is really good. I count 5 Pts for this.
I brought the Kashi go lean cereal for breakfast today - it is soooo
crunchy and I will have pineapple as well. Total of 3 Pts for that
1 cup low sodium chicken broth, 6 saltine crackers, 1/2 a cucumber sliced up with 1 oz crumbled feta cheese marinated in tbsp olive oil and greek salad herb mix and a peach.
Today to get my calcium I microwaved 1 cup skim milk and add 1 tsp of instant decaf coffee & a little sweetener. This tastes like a fancy type of thing. Sipped on it on the drive to work.
Also brought a cheese string for pm snack with some grapes.
So that is 2 calciums today. But, I have a question?
Does the Kashi Go-Lean Crunch cereal count as a "fortified" cereal? If so, I can count it also as a calcium. I brought this for my breakfast (2/3 cup = 2 Pts) and ate it dry and it was sooo good.
Are you doing the "flex thing"??
Kinda like a snacky thing
Happy Thursday! Today for lunch I am having Dannon Lite Vanilla Yogurt with some Kashi in it and a sliced nectarine for 4 pts. I am saving up for eating out tonight. I plan on having panfried walleye pike, a baked potato with butter and a big salad for about 17 points. Drinking lots and lots of water!
I am doing the flex points-is anyone else? How was your first weigh in?
I am doing flex-points too but have not weighed in yet- the WW meeting was canceled for Labour day so I don't weigh in until Monday. I have not been very good at journalling so far but I think I will buy the 12 week journal which I think will be better for me.
I don't think something that is "fortified" counts as an actual serving of calcium, but then I could be wrong I am pretty sure that you have to have dairy or a dairy product like low-fat yogurt, etc. and the milk you have with the Kashi definetely counts
