I'm sort of boring with these having the same breakfast every day of the week, but it keeps things easy and saves me time. Same thing with the lunches and dinners - lunches are usually the previous day's dinner. Well, I suppose my fridge is leftover free though and that's a good thing

Breakfast:
Red Quinoa with Pepitas and Almond Milk Topped with Raspberries
= 387

Lunch:
Skinless Roast Chicken Drumstick with Short Grain White Rice and Snow Peas

Dinner:

Hello everyone! paniania, I can relate to having the same breakfast/lunches etc. I tend to do the same thing for my food choices for a little while, then add something new in and eat that until I'm sick of it. It really does make things easier and takes out some of the work. It does get boring after awhile, but when you have sooo many other things going on, it's nice to just have "your basics"

Soo, the plan for tomorrow:

8AM:
-Light bagel = 110
-Laughing cow garlic and herbs wedge = 35
-Gum X 2 = 10

10:30AM:
-Honey grahams = 140
-Gum = 5

12:30PM:
-15 grape tomatoes = 30
-Laughing cow wedge = 35
-Gum X 2 = 10

3:00PM
-Grits w/ cinnamon = 100
-2 splendas = 10
-Gum X 2 = 10

5:30PM:
-Spaghetti squash = 425
-2oz pasta sauce = 20
-Parmesan cheese = 40
-7 olives = 35
-Mushrooms = 30
-3 fudge pops = 120
-“Zero” calorie soda X 2 = 10
-Gum X 5 = 25
Total: 1200


Ok, time to go watch biggest loser. Yay!

RE: eating the same foods, I try to do that (within reason), usually same breakfast and lunch and rotate through a few different snacks with a "new" dinner every night. As a type 1 diabetic, my endo told me it's best to do that for keeping my blood sugars stable (no guesswork on how much insulin to take, for example).

Anyway, today:

B: Fiberone bar (140)

S: 2 Nature Valley granola thins (180)

L: roast beef on 35 cal bread with horseradish mustard, Chobani honey yogurt (285)

S: Nature Valley granola thin (90)

D: Salami and pepper jack stromboli, skinny cow ice cream sandwich (No idea how many cals, far too many, I'm sure. I'll guess 900.)

Total: 1595

Exercise: Ran 1.75 miles.

Hi Everyone!

Today was a bit of a challenge to stay on my plan. I was absolutely starving and just wanted to cave in and eat everything in sight.

Breakfast (355): 1/2 a poppyseed bagel (175) with 1 T creamcheese (45), 2 slices smoked Tofurky (40) and a garlic dill pickle (5). coffee w/vanilla almond milk (90).

Lunch (505?): Salad of mixed greens with herbs (15), 10 grape tomatoes (20), 2 chopped up smoked Tokurky slices (40) and 1 T vinaigrette (30). 2 kimchi pancakes (400?).

***so I have no idea how to record the korean kimchi pancakes. The web shows counts anywhere from 75-350 for a small pancake. I decided to record them at 200x2 as they weren't exceptionally greasy or anything. But given how dang hungry I've been the rest of the day I wonder if this was way under? Advice?****

Snack (285): 8 1/2 tarragon crackers (65) and 10 grape tomatoes (20) with 1 1/2 T hummus (70). poached egg (60) on a 1/2 a ww english muffin (70).

Dinner(163 plus cheese), where I really wanted to eat everything in sight. Sigh.

1/2 a ww english muffin (70), 1 tsp Earth Balance (33), 2 slices smoked tofurky (40) and 5 all natural cheeto type things (20?) and then a few pieces of manchego, no idea on that as far as calories. thinking 100-200?

Total calories were hard to calculate today - about 1308 plus some cheese which would add 100-200 I suppose. Although the kimchi pancakes may have been way overestimated at 400 calories due to my hunger all afternoon/night.

Hi ladies! I hope everyone is having a good week! I planned a high calorie day for myself, hopefully it doesn't backfire. I am down about 4.5 lbs this week but I know some of that was water weight, so now is the hard part!

Wildflower, I know how it is to feel like you want to eat everything. Unfortunately, I am unfamiliar with kimchi, but I googled it and it looks pretty healthy. I found a kimchi pancake recipe that was pretty much just flour, egg and oil and I added up the ingredients and if you only make 2 (which is what the recipe said it made) it came out to a little over 300 a pancake, but since you said yours were small, I divided the recipe by 4 and got a little over 150 per pancake. I would say you were pretty close, but may have over estimated a little. I have no idea if that was helpful or not but it was pretty informative for me!

Today:

8am (105)
large coffee w/ 3 tbsp Coffee Mate cinnamon bun creamer- 105

11am (300, forgot my breakfast at home and had to scrounge something up at work)
1 pkt apples & cinnamon instant oatmeal made w/ water- 130
1 pkt cinnamon & spice instant oatmeal made w/ water- 170
H2O- 0

1pm (900, Urban Bistro)
2 crab cakes- 320
2 slices focaccia bread- 230
2 tbsp chipotle aioli- 170
1 serving sweet potato French fries- 180
H2O- 0

6pm (540, Pizza Hut)
2 slices large original crust pepperoni, mushroom, and onion pizza w/ out crust- 400
2 tbsp ranch dressing- 140
H2O- 0

7pm (160)
1 tbsp peanut butter- 95
2 squares 50% dark chocolate- 65
H2O- 0

= apprx 2005 calories

Ok, so that was a really unhealthy day and even though I planned to have a higher calorie day, I wish I would've planned my foods in advance! Oh well, live and learn right? Good night girls!

My afternoon snack was originally supposed to be carrots w/ hummus and a string cheese but I had an afternoon meeting that ran way late so I had to make it work. Not ideal, but that's why I love calorie counting!
