Little high on carbs for me today - but right at my "point" target.

Breakfast: 1c Kashi Go Lean with 1/2c 1% milk

Mid-morning: small banana

Lunch: Whole wheat bagel (toasted) with 1tbsp. peanut butter. Salad plate of sliced tomatoes with a sprinkling of parmesan cheese and lots of ground black pepper.

Mid-afternoon: Astro fat-free, sugar-free raspberry yogurt

Dinner: Placed a thin slice of lean roast beef on a Dempsters spinach flatbread, then placed 1 cup of steamed broccoli on top of the beef and topped that with 2 slices fat free cheese, added ground black pepper and nuked the thing for about 20 seconds (until the cheese partially melted) then wrapped it all up. mmmm

Beverages: 3 large mugs of tea and 1 large coffee, all with 1% milk, 1 litre lemon flavoured mineral water, 1 small bottle of Perrier and 2 cans sodium reduced soda water.

Exercise: 20 min walk with dog (twice, once in morning and once in evening). That was about it - unless you count pacing up and down aisles at various home improvement stores searching for some specialized tool G. needed (and finding a lovely area rug in the process) :D

Welcome, Ali - jump right in and join the crowd! :)

Here goes then....

Weds 27/04:

Breakfast: Quaker instant porridge made with water, black coffee.
Mid-morning: 1 cup skimmed milk
Lunch: Lean ham steak between 2 slices wholemeal toast, 1 tblsp. fat-free mayo, 2 tsp. hickory mustard.
Snack: large banana, 1 cup skimmed milk
Dinner: 200g steamed sole fillets, 2 cups boiled rice, carrots and broccoli with home made sauce.

Total calories: 1557 (not incl. veggies)

I don't bother measuring my water intake as I drink way more than 3 litres every day anyway. That's how I originally got my "Fish" nickname. :)

The Quaker porridge was minging. :barf: Far, far too salty. I'll go back to making my own in future.

Well, being the genius that I am, I had planned on having my low-fat hotdogs for lunch yesterday. Come lunchtime, I opened my bag to find *gasp* only the buns--no hotdogs! So I ended up having a large salad from the cafeteria instead. I'm sure it had more calories since I loaded it with cheese, egg, and honey mustard dressing. I guess all was well, though, since I was down 4.5 pounds this morning or my weekly weigh-in. No complaints!

Alright, here's how today's shaping up:
Breakfast: store-brand Cocoa Puffs with 2% milk
Snacks: Laughing Cow cheese
2 cinnamon graham crackers with fat-free strawberry cream cheese
Chex mix
Lunch: 2 hotdogs (I really packed them this time!)
Snack: fat-free, no sugar added strawberry yogurt

Beyond that is to be determined, since I FINALLY have a night off from job #2. I will be at my TOPS meeting tonight, then dinner afterwards, so I shouldn't have trouble staying within a reasonable range.

Gratz on the 4.5 lbs Jill that's awesome!! :cp:

04/28/05 - Food for Today

Breakfast - 1 sausage biscuit with a small coffee (mmm coffee). :coffee:
It was probably the fattiest breakfast I've had in 2 months and now I feel bloated. To think I used to eat 2 biscuits with sausage, egg, and cheese all the time for breakast. :?:
Lunch - Broccoli w/ rice
Dinner - Lasagna w/ Garlic Bread and a Large Salad

I'm measuring my coffee & water intake for my kidney's sake, not so much for dieting.

Although...

it does say EVERYTHING we put in our mouths. :lol: :s: :o

So far so good with today. I actually did a bit of exercising today! Although I was weak at dinner time *as always* :nono:
