Default Menus/Planning/Accountability #3

Looks like we reached the magic #100 in our post count for the other thread, so here's a new one!


Feel free to jump in and track in this thread. You can use it as a place to plan for the upcoming days, or you can use it as accountability (post what you ate after you've eaten). People tend to use this thread to get meal ideas, also, so if you want, post the points value of your foods eaten so people can get an idea of foods they can fit in their plan!

B: Cereal (3), tea with milk/sugar (1.5)
L: 2 meatloaf muffins (2), 1/2 cup rice (2)
S: WW Bar (1.5)
D: WW quiche (6.5), green beans with olive oil (1), cheesestring (1)
S: Tea with milk/sugar (1.5), 2 cookies (3)
= 23/23

Ahhhhh! I'm out of vegetables!! Buying fresh is great, the taste is so much better than frozen (what my green beans are), but then I have to go to the store like once every 2-3 days!

I made this batch of meatloaf muffins smaller and with a package of stuffing mix that is really low in fat/calories so they are only one point each! Woohoo! The stuffing is Paxo if anyone is interested - it seems to be less point-heavy than the one recommended on the recipe board.

Hey all! New to this thread, will be adding my bio soon... I LOVE to cook and love new meal ideas, and would love to share mine. Today, I tried WW Wrap pizzas. I tried to mimic Shakey's thin crust or Me & Eds for the (BC) Candians, Like me Turned out delicious if you keep an eye out not to burn.

Here's my meal plan for today:


B: WW bread PBJ sandwich (I use a tsp each PB&J ) (3)
L: Charissa's Big Salad: lettuce, tomato, red pep, cucumb slices (to thine hearts own desire, within reason) (2) pts light cheese (2 Tbs shred, or 1 cm/1/2 inch slice thin brick cheese cut in chunks) (1) pts protein (I use 1 slice canadian bacon or 4 thin deli slices) (1) pts 1 tsp olive oil, drizzle balsamic or red wine vinegar, salt&pep. (If I need a bit more I add a point or two of nuts or craisins, but not for today)
S: 100 cal pack (2) & 1/2 cup dry cereal (1)
D: 3 WW wrap pizzas (12), recipe below

22/25

Have a snack attack anticipated

WW Wrap Pizza (4 Point for 1 Pizza)

These are my topping choices, just change to how you like it...

Ingredients:
(3) 1 pt Weight watchers wraps
(0) 3-6 large spoons low fat/cal pizza sauce (or leftover pasta/spaghetti sauce kickin' around)
(1) pts worth, thin slice deli meat/veg protein alt
(4) Tbs shred cheese (I used full fat, maybe light minus 1 pt)
(1) Tbs light feta
Thin/Small sliced veg (I use red bell peppers and mushrooms)
(1) points worth pineapple (I use less I think but I add the point for good measure)
(1) Tbs parmasan
Red pepper flake to taste
(1) Pam



Toast WW wraps at 250 deg/low heat oven, to stiffen (I do 10 min). Heat oven to 450 deg. Spray pam around edges of wraps. Place 1-2 big spoons pizza sauce on wrap, spread to edges. Sprinkle with a Tbs each cheese. Lay over, toppings: protein, veg and pineapple evenly to edges. Sprinkle remaining Tbs of cheese over all 3. Bake direct on rack at 425-450 deg oven till warmed through(I do 8-10 min) then broil till browned to liking (5 or more min). Take out of oven when ready. Sprinkle all three with a Tbs feta and parm and red pep flake to liking. Serve and enjoy! Let me know how it turns out for you =)

Saturday:
B: Coffee w/milk (1)
S: 1/2c fiber one (0), 1/2c 2% milk (only have DH's milk in the house right now, 1), 3/4c strawberries (.5)
L: Flat Out wrap (1), 1/2c tuna (2), 1 tbsp lf mayo (1), dill pickles, spinach, mustard (0), 3/4 c strawberries (0.5), 1/2c 4% cottage cheese (3 - need to get it gone already)
S: 2oz pistachios (8), pita chips (1)
S: english muffin (1), peanut butter (2), 1/2 banana (1)

Chissa - That sounds yuuumy! I love wrap pizzas!

Suite - They are great! And super easy, too. I mixed them in with some rice and not even a point's worth of sweet chili sauce today for a quick lunch and it was awesome and quite filling too.

Tomorrow I'm going to try the vegetarian tortilla bake thing that's on the recipe board in the vegetarian thread. It's a cream cheese, basil & garlic spread with mixed vegetables and cheese on a tortilla (but I'm going to have it on a pita since I don't have any tortillas). It sounds so good I almost want to have it tonight but that quiche goes off today!

Tomorrow:

B: Breakfast cookie (4)
L: Pita (2) with cream cheese (2), garlic, basil, shredded cheddar (2), broccoli, onion and red pepper
D: Broccoli and Penne bake (guessing at about 10... will calculate it out tomorrow when I am cooking it!)
S: Cup of tea with milk/sugar (1.5), 2 squares of dark chocolate (2)
= 23.5/23

Whole recipe of Broccoli and Penne bake is 23 points - if I eat half, that's 11.5. Try not to eat half! (this note is more for me than for you guys! )

Yesterday continued on a downward track... I think a fair estimate would be to say I used 10 FPs. Which is fine and all. Just annoyed that I stopped counting/measuring so I can't be sure how much I ate, so I have to over estimate. Total FPs used so far, 14.

Monday:
B: 1/2c oatmeal (3), 1/2c almond milk (0), cranberries (1)
S: coffee w/milk (1)
L: wrap (1) w/ 2oz ham (2), 1/4 avocado (2), spinach. Spinach salad w/lf dressing (1). Grapes (1)
S: pretzel thins (2), 1/2c fiber one (0), yogurt (1)
D: roast chicken (5), sweet potato (3), tons of veg., EVOO (1)
S: dark chocolate (1)

=25/27. Will find 2 more somewhere...

Okay, so. Today starts a new week for me. I went out with my friends for my birthday ("The England Celebration" since I celebrated at home when I was there also) and used 38.5 flex points in one day. Yep. One day. Dinner + dessert + 2 drinks (including one GIANT margarita, as it was called) = no flex points left for the week. I'm not sure if I can do it, but I'll try. I usually end up a few over 35 by the end of the week anyway, so I don't think it's a total disaster, but if I don't see a loss on Friday, I think I'll know why! I'm so depressed about it, even though it was such a great night.

Okay, so, tomorrow, back on track!!!

B: Cereal (3)
L: Pita (2) with cream cheese (1), basil, onion and peppers, cup of tea with milk/sugar (1.5)
D: WW Tikka Masala (5), Cauliflower with cheese (1) and tomato sauce (1), baked sweet potato (3) with olive oil (1)
S: Tea with milk/sugar (1.5), WW almond cake (1.5)
= 21.5/22 so far

I'm going to try 22 points for the week. I should have dropped to 22 as soon as I hit 159lbs, but I stayed at 23 and maybe that is why my losses are not as large as they could be. I think I'll try it this week and see how it goes.
