Morning: Beans sauted with zucchini, red onion, and a little bit of coconut oil and chopped Greek olives; small orange
Mid-Morning: Chocolate Protein Shake
Afternoon: Asparagus and red pepper sauted in a little coconut oil and lemon juice with tofu and beans; peach
Mid-Afternoon: one plum and one apricot
Evening: salad with vinigarette and beans
Night: Fiber One cereal, dark chocolate chips
Total calories: 1270
B: cheese on toast
S: packet of crisps
S: bag of maltesers
L: Macaroni cheese on toast
S: Fry's turkish delight
S: 4 custard cream biscuits
Dinner will be beef stew.
Not the greatest or most balanced meal plan but I'm now checking the back of packets at the calories which is a start in the right direction. Case in point I nearly bought my usual sized bag of maltesers which had 350 calories instead I opted for the bag which contained 148 calories.
B: 1/2 cup prepared fibre one pancake mix, sugar-free syrup, 5 slices veggie ham, 1 cup cantaloupe/blueberries (400)
S: (skipped, ate breakfast late, had a pot of oolong tea instead)
L: Salad, baked chicken breast, light baby bel, vinaigrette (300)
S: Strawberry yogurt cup (100)
D: Chicken noodle soup w/ spinach (300)
S: 100 calorie cup of ice cream
=1200
Preworkout - lite yogurt 100
Postworkout - Homemade Oatmeal - 140
Snack granola bar 130 Protein Shake 120
Lunch 12 Pizza Rolls (yeah, i'm being naughty) 400
Snack - Kashi Cereal 200
Dinner Baked Potato with Beans - 430
mixed veggies - 70
Total: 1590 which is a bit low for me but my activity levels have been low this week so I'm not bothered. Not sure if I'll actually be able to eat the granola bar and cereal (had oral surgery Tuesday) but if not I'll substitute something nice and soft in.

1} I need to get up earlier! {8am today!}
2} I need to eat more during the day and less at night!
3} fewer brownies!
4} my calorie count is about right but I need more 'real' food in my food!
Friday-Bad.
B: Two breakfast tacos, 1/2 a container of chocolate milk, coffee/cream
S: nothing
L: 8 oz chef salad from grocery deli
S: nothing
D: 2 sliced beef sliders, 1/2 order of fries (from Applebees), a few chips, 1/2 a brownie dessert, 2 beers. Bad. Bad, Amy. I didn't even bother to count the calories.
Yesterday was my weekly non-counting "cheat" day - I ate about a million calories but I'm going to post the list anyway purely for the shame factor:
B - Coffee, 2 eggs, 2 slices of ham, apx 1 cup hash browns, hollandaise sauce
S - None, ate breakfast late
L - Tea, 1 cup blueberries, 4 timbits (so good... but so bad)
D - Iced sweet tea, garden salad, apx. 2 cups linguine with meat sauce
S - Iced mocha (no whip... because that would have made all the difference after the calorie gorge from the rest of the day... )
Moving right along...
Back on plan today:
B - whole wheat english muffin, 2 poached eggs, 2 slices of low fat cheese (400)
S - 1 cup blueberries and oolong tea (100)
L - Salad (with baked chicken breast, light baby bel and vinaigrette) (300)
S - Strawberry yogurt cup (100)
D - Chicken and brown rice soup with spinach and peas (250)
S - 10 hazelnuts, 1/2 apple (150)
= apx 1300 total
B - Toasted English Muffin with Apricot All Fruit
S - Animal Crackers
L - Lean Turkey Pastrami sandwich (2 slices 35 calorie wheat bread, tomato, lettuce, FF cheese), with Baked Tostito Scoops and green salsa
S - Homemade smoothie
D - Salad with imitation crab and homemade Honey Mustard dressing
S - A banana.
I eat a more balanced menu during the work week. Weekends I just eat what appeals to me (within reason). Will work up the calories.
Have been drinking iced sweet tea lately that's sweetened with Splenda. Bought it in a gallon container and it's really good. Of course, I could just make it at home, but I was indulging myself. LOL ... a $1.80 indulgence! )
