Veggielife, you can check out my "Fitday" (today wasn't as healthy as usual :o ) I eat only vegan food but I am sure you and I eat many of the same things :) I aim for a good middle between 1,200-1,800 on most days.

Tomorrow I am making a soup with red cabbage, rainbow chard, carrot, onion, garlic and either beans and lentils of some sort. This will be filling, low calorie, high fiber and have a fair amount of protein.

Plan for tomorrow:

S - 100 cal light popcorn bag

thanks for sharing guys. Soulbliss,that soup sounds yummy. thanks I will check out your fitday I try to eat healthy but fail often but it seems when I write it down it helps me that is another reason I wanted this thread .
Zenor, thanks for those links . No I'm not vegan but one day maybe I stopped eating meat a year 1/2 ago .going vegan is a goal of mine but that darn cheese gets me every time .LOL

I eat practically the same thing every week day. I guess at work, I don't feel the need for variety.

Breakfast - 1 Pkg Low-Sugar Apple Cinnamon Oatmean
Snack - 1 Cup Jello
Lunch - 1 Lean Cuisine or Smartone depending on what's in the freezer, or a can of soup. Also a 100 cal pack, normally grasshoppers
Snack - 1 cup Jello
Dinner - 1 Lean Cuisine or Smartone or fresh Tilapia if it's on sale. Occassionally, I may make a chicken breast with some vegetables if I have the patience to let it cook
After dinner - 1 light yogurt

If I'm still hungry, I'll occasionally eat some cheese or a grapefruit or a 100 cal ice cream sandwich, but this is pretty much the norm for me.

I know this is against all traditional dieting wisdom, but the one meal I stringently plan is dinner because it's my biggest meal. Once I figure out (roughly) the calories of my dinner, I know the calories I'm allowed to have the rest of the day. Since I stock my pantry with healthy things (salads, fruits, nuts, turkey, yogurt, etc.), I can easily spontaneously choose foods that fit into my calorie needs.
