that's the one bad thing about them- I had no clue they came in other flavors than chocolate.

angie: that's a great start but limit your "darker" meats to 2 times a week and try not to have it more than once in the same day. they take longer to break down than the "lighter" meats. otherwise, good menu and good luck!

also, i believe light cheese is a dairy.. not sure which one you are using.

[Angie]

Thanks for the advice about red meat Nikki, I'm switching to poultry for tomorrow. Today I used the lite cheese as a vegetarian protein (4oz=1P), I find the meat a lot to take in for one day.

Here's what I've got planned for tomorrow. (Advice always welcome)

Breakfast: 4 inch Pita (1S), 1 tbsp cream cheese (1F), 1 banana (1Fr)
Snack: Lite (1L)
Lunch: Chicken parmesan (2P), salad (2V), garlic bread (2S)
Snack: Yogurt
Dinner: 3.5 oz Turkey breast (1P), 1c broccoli (1V), 1c Turnip (1V)
Snack: Lite

I'm anticipating temptation tomorrow evening as we sometimes watch a movie on Friday nights, so by saving the lite until then, I am hoping to curb the cravings.

ETA: Ack! I just remembered (6:00 a.m. Friday) that I'm taking a friend out to lunch today. I'm adjusting my plan around that. I'm just worried that I'll feel hungry in the morning since we won't meet for lunch until 1:00. Any tips?
