Breakfast is one of three things. Yogurt and Holy Crap, steel cut oats with apples and cinnamon or on the weekends, and egg sandwich. Lunch is usually leftover from dinner the night before. Chicken breast, salmon, ground turkey or lean ground beef, usually with a large salad (spinach, carrots, cuke, mushroom and tomatoes). Then sometimes quinoa, occasionally rice or steamed veggies. Once and a while I will go crazy and try a few new recipes looking for something to add to the rotation.
Recently I have been buying the rotisserie chickens from superstore. We will pick off whatever bits we want for dinner that night and I shred the rest up and add a little bbq sauce and Worcestershire sauce and make chicken sandwich for supper the next day with some ranch greek yogurt and spinach on a multi grain bun. So good!!!!
I try to keep pasta to a minimum, but sometimes spaghetti is just so easy and good!!
Using a scale for as much as possible has really made me realize how out of whack my eyeballing skills were! lol. I use MyNetDiary to log my weight, food and exercise. I have all my usual stuff marked as favorites and it takes seconds to enter, and I often will log the night before, or sometimes while I am at work, bored at my desk
I like to pre-portion snack bags with almonds, walnuts, dried cranberries, and pumpkin seeds, and keep them in the freezer. (bout 200 cals per bag!) Apples are one of my favorite snacks too. I generally buy a big bag that will last a couple weeks. I keep a couple in my mini fridge at work along with a snack bag or two
This is what has been working for me so far!!
