Diet-to-Go dinner only?
 

Good Evening ListMates,

Is anyone on the board doing "dinner" only? I need to cut back on expenses and thought I might try it. If you are doing this, what do you eat for lunch? I need ideas because I don't want to blow the whole thing now. I've come too far to gain it all back now.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Mila

Hi,

I'm doing the dinner only plan now (just switched). I didn't like the low fat food and really love the low carb meals. I didn't want to give them up. The low carb plan gives you delectable large pieces of salmon, catfish, all kinds of delcious chicken dishes and pork chops and stuff. I am doing the 5 day plan lunch and dinner because it basically translates to having one meal per day. I buy three weeks like that so that gives me 30 meals and will save me a fortune! That gives me 10 meals a week (and both the lunch and dinners are very filling so even the lunches are just fine for dinners). It's almost half of what I was paying, so I am saving money and getting a nice delicious gourmet meal each night.

I have a Jimmy Dean DLite Breakfast sandwich in the morning (those Turkey sauasage and egg muffins are really good)! They really fill you up and are only 250 calories. I will either have one of them or some egg beaters with a few Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage links or patties (if I eat just a muffin or a bagel it makes me even hungrier faster so I try to stay away from those breakfasts).

For lunch I have a nice big healthy salad. Because I have so many calories to spend doing things this way, I load it up with yummy things. I throw in some delcious imitation crab legs, a few slices of Avacado, shredded cheddar, iceburg, cherry tomato's, mushrooms, red pepper, and some sliced up Pepperoncini. I love to use T Marzetti's fresh refrigerated dressings. They have a really yummy Mango and Ginger, Strawberry Chardonnay and of course thier ranch is to die for. Hope that helps and good luck. :)

I do have a few Hershey Kisses for a treat, but as long as I only have 4 or 5 I'm OK.

Lisa - if only one could stop at 4 or 5. If I start, I can't stop!
