Yes, I eat between 1200-1500 calories a day. I make everything from scratch. i try to eat protein at breakfast (usually eggs) and dinner (usually chicken, turkey, or beans)
here is a menu from one of my days this week:
Breakfast - 2 egg omelette with spinach, assorted veggies and tiny bit of cheese - 270 calories
Snack - handful of strawberries - about 30 calories
lunch - eggplant parm, made from scratch with freshly ground whole wheat flour, baked, covered with homemade tomato sauce that is packed with veggies - no cheese - about 350 calories
snack - apple and yogurt cup (about 180 calories)
dinner - asian lettuce wraps with ground turkey, eggplant, mushrooms, almonds, sauce (soy sauce, hoisin sauce, 1 tsp brown sugar) - wrapped in lettuce - 450 calories.
so far today i have had:
1 leftover eggplant and mushroom pizza square for breakfast. i'm not entirely sure on the calories but it was a small square and i made the crust from scratch with less oil than the recipe called for, and went super easy on the cheese. i'm guessing it was probably 300-350 calories.
snack - 2 ginger snap cookies (150 calories)
lunch - grilled boneless skinless chicken tenders with hot sauce and some ranch (250)
snack - apple and peanut butter (200)
broke down and had half a can of pepsi - 75 calories
dinner - grilled boneless skinless chicken tenders, a couple cups of boiled beets (i haven't done the research on the beets yet to know)
