the only gauranteed thing i ever eat is oatmeal in the morning.
i so like wheat thins (garden vegetable flavor) for snacks. And someone showed me a drink. Decaf tea bags, and those crystal light flavoring satchels mix it like hot tea, and drink cold. I just finished my pomegranet, Tomorrow is mango and pineapple
oh bananas. Im like addicted to bananas, i bought 3 bunches this evening, and i'll probably eat all of that before the week is over.
My breakfast lately has been a WW Amaretto Cheesecake yogurt (2p+) with a bowl of fresh blueberries. I dump the yogurt out on top the blueberries & mix it all together. I go thru about three containers of berries a week. I also have a grande skinny Iced Latte every morning. Somedays I have em put a flavor syrup in it, some days not. If not the latte is 2p+ with syrup it's 3 or 4.
My lunches and dinners are different every day. Tonight's dinner was the Shrimp Creole recipe from the Skinny Taste blog. I ate it over 1 cup white rice. I think it came out to 10 total, and it's very filling.
My usual-suspects of snacks are almonds (6 for 1p+), Sargento Light strin cheese (1p+), Fiber One 90cal peanut butter bars (2p+), and fruit.
I eat all sorts of things. Breakfast is probably the only meal that is the least "creative" with me.
Examples:
Scrambled eggwhites with chopped veggies
Egg on BagelThin with a slice of cheese
Cottage cheese on english muffin
Hot cereal such as steelcut oats or mixed grains with maple syrup
Cold cereal with almond milk
The above are usually eaten with a piece of fruit or a couple slices of turkey bacon depending on my mood.
Lunches is usually something like soup, sandwiches, salads. All varying day to day depending on my mood.
Dinners...Hmm.
You name it I've used it for a dinner lol Dinner is that "experiment" time for me meal-wise.
I usually do a 3-way split of my meal. 1/3 is some kind of protein. 1/3 is some kind of starch like a potato, or rice or pasta. And the last 1/3 is a vegetable. Steamed or roasted or the like.
And that's a typical day for me. In between if I'm feeling snacky I try to grab fruit or veggies first. Sometimes a few crackers with cheese or something.
Snack
Baby carrots 0 pts+
Cut Celery 0 pts+
1 cup sugar free apple sauce 0 pts+
Dinner
1 serving Homemade American Chop Suey (my own recipe, made with 95% lean ground beef) 8 pts+
Roasted Green Beans and Asparagus w/ olive oil (2 tsp) 2 pts+
I don't necessarily agree in the need for dairy in diet, though I don't ban it. I do understand the need for calcium and (with my RD's assistance) am on a supplement plan that includes it, but my meals are rich in calcium via spinach, broccoli, tahini, beans, and other non-dairy foods.
I do get in daily fish oil, and olive oil in my cooking.
If I didn't consult a professional, I wouldn't just modify the program in that way at all. I don't think that would be smart!

For breakfast, I'll usually have eggs in one form or another (I love eggs..lol) and either some toast or an English muffin. Some mornings I'll have a couple slices of turkey bacon for some added protein, and other mornings I'll have a bowl of cereal (either MultiGrain Cheerios or FibreOne Honey Clusters.)
I don't eat lunch. Never have, and I can't bring myself to start. But usually between 2-3 PM I'll have a snack of fruit or yogurt.
Supper -- I try to switch things up as much as I can, but I don't eat a lot of red meat, so sometimes I'll have pasta (my dad makes amazing spaghetti sauce, and it's LOADED with veggies) or I'll often have chicken breast with either roasted baby potatoes or rice, plus veggies (usually broccoli, which I love.)
For snacks, I usually go for Fibre One granola bars, microwave popcorn (plain, no butter or salt at all) or those Crispy Minis if I'm craving some extra flavour (I love the salt and vinegar flavour.)
Breakfast:
Just about everyday I will have either
Eggo Nutri Grain Waffle Low Fat (2 pts) or Whole Wheat Toast (1 pt)
with Peanut Butter which ranges (2-3 pts)
Snack was Grapefruit and Frech Blueberries that I picked out of my yard
Lunch today was a frozen meal along with a side salad. I usually dont do frozen meals b/c of the sodium but I am running out of ideas.
Dinner was a salad and stuffed Zuchini.
I drink water all day with the exception of one Powerade Zero at lunch.
Please share your ideas
So glad you started this thread. I also am interested to see what others eat. Gives us good ideas so things don't get boring.
My menu changes daily, although I have my favorites that I repeat often.
This is pretty typical:
Breakfast - Whole wheat PB toast with banana / 3 pts
8oz glass of FF milk / 3 pts
Dinner - 7oz. center cut pork chop all fat trimmed, grilled / 7pts
Green Beans seasoned with a little onion and bacon / 1pt
Grilled corn on cob with 1 1/2 tsp. ICBINB / 3pts
Dessert - SF Jello with Redi Whip / 1pt
Total pts. / 30
Activity - 30 minutes on treadmill / upper body circuit of free weights.
I drink only water plain or with the flavor packets, I try to get at least 3 16 oz. bottles in a day. Need to do better on this.
Breakfast is always a scrambled egg sandwich on 35 cal whole wheat bread, with tomatoes and either mayo or avocado (I've been using avocado more for the healthier fats). I also have a Low Carb Monster energy drink which is my morning "coffee".
AM snack is always a V8 and a cheese stick
Lunch is either leftovers, a big salad with a pre-cooked grilled chicken breast, or if I am in a pinch a frozen meal, but I limit those to no more than 2 per week, prefer less.
PM snack is always pistacios. Worth the 4 points.
Dinner varies widely. Tonight was "pan fried" tilapia (which in my world is cooked in a pan with a little pam and add only water if it gets too dry), and sauteed onions, mushrooms, and bellpeppers. Last night it was a turkey burger patty with sweet potato fries and tomatoes, lettuce, onions, and pickles.
Dessert is always strawberries or blueberries with yogurt, 2 Tbsp chopped walnuts, and maybe a fig newton or two if I have leftover points. I used to use Fiber one yogurt, but I am trying Oikos strawberry adn blueberry greek yogurt because I am trying to avoid aspertame.
Breakfast- 1/2 c cottage cheese, 1/2 c almond milk and 3/4 c honey wheat puff cereal - 6 points plus
Snack- 2 oz bean dip - 4 points plus (This isn't a thing I typically eat because an oz of this stuff is only a spoonful but it's hard to resist when my parents buy it!)
Lunch- Salad consisting of lettuce, light ranch, white beans and some herbs/spices - 3 points plus - apple - 0 points plus
Snack- Smoothie made with chocolate protein powder, frozen banana, 1 tsp peanut butter and 1/2 c almond milk - 3 points plus
Snack/random meal- Sandwich with light wheat bread, 2oz ham and mustard- 4 points plus
