Disgruntledone & Mazza for responding you two. I am trying so hard to eat right but have no idea how to keep track of the calories once I mix foods together. Disgruntled your lasagna sounds wonderful, see I would not think to add veggies.
Mazza thank you for your menu, this is what I am trying to figure out, say when I make a salad with stuff figuring out calories.
I just bought a bunch of grain cereals, beans etc, stuff I have not eaten before.
tonights supper is Spinach, black beans, tomatoes cooked together, with a half a chicken breast.
thanks guys, I may ask this question in the diet forums for more help, you guys are a great help.

I buy it at my local grocery store - they sell it in most supermarkets.
I usually get the brand "Maille" - or even masterfoods.
Unfortunately, I don't know if either of these brands is available in the US - but if you check your local grocer, it should be right next to the normal mustards.

Breakfast: two eggs, 2 oz. turkey sausage, 1 slice whole grain bread with 1/2 T. cashew butter
snack: half apple with 1 T. peanut butter
lunch: salad with bell peppers, onions, almonds, reduced fat feta cheese, cucumbers; 1/2 cup cottage cheese
snack: 1/2 c. plain greek yogurt, mozzarella cheese stick
dinner: 3 slices pizza. Homemade using whole wheat pizza crust, reduced fat mozzarella cheese, homemade tomato sauce, broccoli, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, zucchini and black olives.
Snack: Hasn't happened yet, but I have an itchin' for greek yogurt with blueberries and agave nectar.
a typical day for me consists of around 1600 calories or less :
Breakfast: whole grain pancakes, french toast, or oatmeal. If i have pcakes or ftoast i pair it with an apple and turkey bacon.
Lunch: Varies the most. Could be leftovers, veggie quesadillas, turkey sandwich w/ carrots and ranch, salads
Snacks: Crackers with laughing cow cheese, string cheese, yogurt, fruit, veggies, almond butter
Dinner: Tonight i had grilled bbq chicken with a sweet potato and mixed veggies. We eat ground turkey a lot at dinner too. In chili, tacos, or meatloaf, we sometimes make burgers. I also aim for 2 veggies.
Desert: not every day, but dove dark chocolates, pudding cups, hot chocolate are my favorites. (notice a chocolate trend here )
