Anyone care to join me in posting their meals and showing some accountability. I haven't been planning and whatnot since my surgery but today is going to be my first day back in the swing of things.
B: Lucky Charms and Skim Milk; 2 cups coffee 4 tsp creamer (254 Calories)
L: Scrambled Egg Beaters, 3 oz spiral ham, diced frozen potatoes, 1 slice whole wheat white bread (310)
S: Trail Mix (130)
D: I think Roommie and I are getting Indian but I decided no cheese, no heavy cream. Aloo Gobhi (potatoes and cauliflower in tomato sauce), 1/2 cut rice, 1/2 slice naan (the daily plate says 360 so I'm estimating 500 calories because I think that sounds low.)
That has me at 1194 which means I have 200 calories for wiggle room for a snack ...
I don't usually plan out my lunches or breakfasts, but I always plan out my week of dinners, on Sunday. I love planning dinner on Sundays because I can go shopping and get everything.
Monday; Fajitas with Spanish rice
Tuesday; Sausage and Pasta, with homemade pasta sauce
Wednesday; Pork chops and whole wheat gnocchi
Thursday; Eggplant Parmigiana
Friday; 1/2 beef roast, with roast potato
Saturday; Hamburger soup
Sharpie Good call on the planning then shopping! I always just shop and hope I have some good stuff to cook with! What recipe do you use for the eggplant? I've always wanted to make it...
garstar- I have to plan it out and go shopping first or the week would be lost! and I love grocery shopping, its relaxing for me...lol I love eggplant!! I cut the ends off and wash it and cut it into 1/2 in. thick circles and grill with a bit of olive oil spray. Then I lay the slices on the bottom of a 9x12 with a little sauce in the bottom of the pan and sprinkle a little bit of bread crumbs on top of the eggplant slices, then I cover them with sauce, and repeat with another layer of eggplant and then I cover it with cheese, its actually not that bad if you can stand low fat cheese but my family hates it! so we splurge and get regular...and as far as the sauce goes, the regular jar kind works well, which ever kind you like. Its good to if you make veggy lasagna and use the eggplant instead of noodles, you cut the eggplant lengthwise and use shredded carrots and zucchini mixed with a little bread crumbs and cottage cheese and use that in the middles...its good too!!

Wednesday 28 January
Breakfast: 55gm homemade untoasted muesli with 100gm low-fat greek yoghurt
Lunch: salad with - 100gm lean pork, grilled, 40gm low-fat feta cheese, cucumber, coral lettuce, capsicum, olives with balsamic vinegar for dressing
Dinner: Wrap - with 100gm chicken, cheese, tomato and avocado on mountain bread (rye) with small amount of potato salad on the side
Snack:
- 100gm low-fat greek yoghurt with 1gms choc whey powder mixed through...mmm...almost pudding lol
- 100gm low fat greek yoghurt with 1 teaspoon cocoa powder and 2 teaspoons caster sugar (this actually works out at about 150 cals for a divine dessert (or in this case post-workout snack).
The zucchini eggplant is carb free, each bowl is about 400 calories each. I add a small bowl of salad with the meal. I got the recipe from the South Beach Diet recipe forum.
