What are you eating today?
 

I had a spinach and feta omelet for breakfast, using one whole egg and one serving of eggbeaters, alongside an Eggo "swirl" and 3/4 c. grapefruit juice. My snack was a 2% string cheese. For lunch, I have spinach salad with strawberries, poppyseed dressing (fat free) and sliced almonds, a slice of California bread, and two dark chocolates. Dinner will be a broccoli/cavatelli dish and a glass of red wine -- possibly a salad if I have enough calories left for the dressing.

Breaky was a bowl of: FF cottage cheese, FF yogurt, and some raspberries mixed in.

Mid-morning meal is a handful of almonds and a banana.

Lunch meal will be: couple of hard boiled eggs chopped up with hot sauce on two slices of wholewheat bread.

Mid-afternoon snack will be: protein shake

Not sure about supper yet - likely a turkey breast/spinach wrap...

I have already had my coffee this morning and for breakfast I will have a Lender's whole wheat bagel with 1 tbsp. fat free strawberry cream cheese. For lunch, I think we are "dining out" with the in-laws so I will do the salad bar thing and probably take my own dressing. For dinner I think we are grilling out blackened catfish with a cajun sauce and a side salad. I haven't figured out snacks yet. Today is a 1400 calorie day for me. Thank goodness Sunday goes up to 1700 b/c we are having my son's birthday party and I think I may have a tiny piece of cake.

Omg I love spinach omelettes- but I like them with cottage cheese :)

Today gonna have my usual one serving of fiber one bars and laughing cows for breakfast.

CRAP I just realized I forgot my lunch at home! DOH! So I'm just go back to the old standby of getting a salad with no dressing at el pollo loco + two chicken legs (450 calories). Dinner is hot dogs lol- yeah I'm too lazy to cook today :p

Just out of curiosity, what is laughing cows?

Oops I meant fiber one crackers....

Kootch:

They are small servings of low cal cheese- I usually eat two wedges with 15 crackers wheat thin fiber 1 selects crackers (5 g fiber) for breakfast- less than 200 calories and VERY filling :)

Because of my schedule I don't eat breakfast so here's tentative plans for the day
lunch - leftover chicken breast in a tortilla w/homemade pico de gallo and avocado, maybe some soup
snack - lara bar
dinner - sushi and a salad, scratch that the store was out of freaking sushi, Subway oven roasted chicken sandwich with baby spinach, tomato, onion, black olives, banana peppers and red wine vinegar and jalapeno chips
snack - watermelon, scratch the watermelon (forgot it) 1 square dark chocolate and almonds

I confess that I am being bad today. Today is my birthday so I am saving most of my calories for a slice of deep dish fully loaded pizza and a slice of ice cream cake.

Happy birthday, Tiffany!

Thank you! :D

Just out of curiosity, what is laughing cows?

Laughing cow is a sort of soft cheese which comes in individually wrapped wedges weighing in at about 35 calories. I wasn't big on them at first because when I think cheese I think more like cheddar and this is a soft cheese like a cream cheese. Now I love them and use them in place of butter or cream cheese on toast and bagels. They make a pretty tasty grilled cheese sandwhich too which I have with french onion soup instead of melting cheese on top.

I'm doing South Beach right now so I'm not keeping track of my calories as much but I'm having

Canadian Bacon with scrambled egg whites an V8 for breakfast (and coffee, of course ;) ).

Taco salad with shredded chicken, kidney beans, 1/3 avocado, FF sour cream, Salsa, and FF cheese for lunch.

I dunno what we'll do for dinner. Maybe I'll throw some turkey burgers and asparagus on the grill YUM :).

S: Popcorn if I have enough calories left.

B: 1 cup of cheerios and skim milk :200 calories

I plan on having some tuna and crackers in a little bit. I am sore from my workout so I am having a heavy protein day. I will probably also have another piece of fruit to get in my all my calories.

That's a good idea for breakfast. Cereal never fills me up but it's so high calorie for 1 serving with 1 serving of milk. Cutting the cereal serving and milk serving in half and adding the applesauce cup would probably fill me out better!
