1 Granny Smith apple with Earth Balance peanut butter (it has flax in it and it's so yummy!)

Olives, sourdough, bruschetta, cucumber slices, baby carrots, Brie, baby grape tomatoes, sauteed baby broccoli with ginger and garlic and a glass of organic red wine (Warning! High sodium! Alcohol! Warning!)

Lentil spinach butternut onion garlic soup made with low sodium V8

AND I still have 300 calories to "play" with... :carrot:

I have had a Strawberry Protein Smoothie for Breakfast

Morning Snack - Fat Free Light Yogurt with plain dry cheerios
Lunch - Vege burger with non fat cheese, lettuce, tomato with vinegrette dressing
Afternoon Snack - Mini bag of popcorn
Dinner - Turkey Pita - Whole wheat Pita, sliced turkey, lettuce, tomatoes and vinegrette dressing

Evening snack to be determined because I still have about 250-300 calories left.

A banana and whole wheat toast with a tablespoon of honey for breakfast.

My first snack was an apple.

For lunch I had a big salad with some chik'n cut up in it, a few organic croutons and low cal dressing.

My next snack was an organic Full Circle cookie.

And I just had a veggie burger with soy based fake cheese and organic bean dip on the side.

I'll probably have a fiber one yogurt later.

Awesome thread. I like getting ideas from other people.

I experimented with a new smoothie today and it was great. I'm trying to lower my sugar intake, even though it is mostly unrefined. Today's result:

4 oz vanilla muscle milk light
3 oz 0% plain greek yogurt
1/4 cup blueberries
70g mango chunks

Only 14g of sugar! Muscle milk is a horrible name, but it might become one of my favorite smoothies.

As for the rest of the day:

wheat bread slice
egg whites
string cheese
white rice
string beans
tilapia with citrus marinade

today was

breakfast granola bar and a banana

lunch tilapia with steamed broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots

dinner Homemade Lasagna (omg amazing and only 441 calories)

and I still have 400 calories left for the day. Not sure what to do with them.

I'm glad there's a thread to post daily food, as I need accountability!

Morning: homemade tehina (sesame seed butter made into a dip - Middle Easter) with cucumber, carrots, celery, and cherry tomatoes; 2 slices sprouted grain bread with apple butter
Mid-Morning: Protein shake made with soy milk, silken tofu, and rice protein powder
Afternoon: Sauted tofu with cauliflower and mushrooms and olives
Evening: Big salad with vinegarette and avocado; bran cereal (dry) and 1 oz vegan dark chocolate

I'm still experimenting with what works best for me in terms of protein/carbs/fat. I'm trying to up my protein and fat and lower my carbs as I've been basing my diet lately on carbs and it hasn't done me much good. I felt a lot more energetic today than I have in the past days so maybe I'm doing something right :).
