If I ate that little food I'd be starving and craving.
Here is a typical day for me:
Breakfast:
Egg, Ham and Cheese Kelly'wich (whole grain 1 point English Muffin, 1 whole egg or Egg Beaters, lean ham and 2% Am cheese, an 1 tsp of canola oil to make it in) w/1 cup skim millk
Midmorning Snack:
Fruit
Lunch:
LeanMeat&cheese sandwich (low calorie whole wheat bread, lean lunch meat or left over lean meat from a dinner, 2%Cheese, lettuce, tomato and lowfat Miracle Whip); salad w/either low fat salad dressing sometimes with 1 tsp canola or olive oil or salsa w/1 tsp of the oil); pudding or yogurt; maybe a few crackers
Midafternoon Snack:
Popcorn or Fruit or some zero point veggies
Dinner:
3-6 oz lean meat; 2-3 cups zero point veggies; 3 points of a starch - pasta, potatoes or rice --- using an oil if I didn't use it at lunch
Evening Snack:
Really depends on how many points I've used during the day and if I have any weekly and/or actvity points avail.
