The Yoplait Whips make the BEST frozen yogurt snack ever!!
Mine go to's are:
Breakfast: Bran Flakes with milk, or oatmeal with a bit of molasses and Stevia for sweetening. (Uneventful, I know, but it keeps me full)
Snack: Always something whole. Cheese, berries, bananas. But at least 100 calories. I don't eat apples because for some reason they make me get hives all over my face, but I love Apple Cider Vinegar water! There's also plenty of studies saying it aides in weight loss. Just make sure you buy it pure, unfiltered, unpasturized. Braggs is my fave.
Lunch: Usually peanut butter sandwich (whole grain bread), or tuna salad. I make my tuna salad with plain Greek yogurt (the Greek Gods is the best brand ever!!) it removes all of the oily calories from mayo. I also like to eat tuna or boiled eggs over a bed of greens with rice wine vinegar.
Dinner: We eat pretty much vegetarian at our house. The difference is moving past being used to having 3 sides at dinner time. We usually have a one pan meal with one side, mostly salad. Like tonight I made a fritatta southwestern style with peppers, onions and frozen shredded potatoes.
My personal tips
Just thought I'd throw these out there
-I always saute with canola oil instead of olive oil, it's far cheaper and they have almost the exact same nutritional content. Plus it has a very low smoke point. I save olive oil for salads or other dressings.
-Don't bother with Reduced Fat or Fat Free, they almost always contain twice as much sugar and saves a very small percentage of calories. Real food will keep your tummy happier longer.
-If you're a chocolate addict like me, go out and buy a bag of 70% cocoa square. You have to suck on it slowly or it just tastes weird. After one piece you feel like you've really indulged, but at 50-75 calories a piece (not serving!) it's virtually guilt free.
-Since losing the weight I have become a vinegar addict! I have a huge collection and I love it on just about everything! There's so many options out there for flavoring besides fats, sugars and salts, you just have to find what you love best!!
