    Artsygirl do you have a link for the banana muffin recipe?
  • I'm not sure how to do a link so I cut and pasted. It was originally posted by Sakura.

    My banana muffins were:

    1 cup whole wheat flour
    1 scoop vanilla protein powder (6 tbsp in my powder) (I know there is some controversy about cooking protein powder, but I've seen nothing but debating about it so eh)
    1 tsp baking powder
    1/2 tsp baking soda
    1/2 c splenda
    3 small bananas
    2 tbsp vanilla yogurt
    3 tbsp light vanilla soy milk
    1 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
    cinnamon to taste
    Vanilla

    Icing: 7 oz ff cream cheese
    splenda and cinnamon to taste

    I mixed together the dry ingredients in a bowl.

    Mashed the bananas and mixed them with wet ingredients in another bowl.

    Combined the wet with the dry and made it into individual muffins. It made 7 large ones for me.

    350*F for 30 minutes did it for me.

    For the icing, beat room temperature cream cheese with splenda and cinnamon to taste. I like to ice them as soon as they come out of the oven so it melts a little and spreads easier.

    My husband loved them as well.

    For my muffins, the nutritional info was:
    Calories: 159
    Carbs: 28g
    Fat: 1g
    Protein: 11g
    Fiber: 3g

    The nutritional info will vary depending on what protein powder, milk, and yogurt someone would use though, and also the size of the bananas.
  • b: special k, skim milk, light oj
    l: 1/2 turkey sandwich, 100 cal sunchips or doritos
    s: baby carrots or special k protein bar
    d: tbd by grilling bf, it's cold and we want something warm
  • Thanks ArtsyGirl, they look good.
  • After being snowed in for days we are pretty much on the end of our food... My calories for today are low but I haven't decided what to blow calories on yet out of what we have (Lean Cuisine? Corn flakes? Saltines? Ritz? The last 230cal bag of popcorn? Hey if I mix corn flakes with frozen strawberries maybe it'll be like Special K with red berries... I used to love that cereal. Too bad corn flakes are devoid of nutrition. )

    Breakfast: 5oz chicken breast, sweet potato
    Snack: ???
    Lunch: 3.2 oz chicken breast, flat out wrap, provolone slice
    Snack: Oatmeal with almonds and honey
    Dinner: 6 oz chicken breast, spinach and onion salad
    Snack: ???
  • I was horribly sick last week so I haven't been doing much planning. I stayed under my calories for the day but I just couldn't predict what I would want to eat. But today I am hoping to get back into planning mode:

    B - Optimum Power Breakfast cereal (too sick to make it to my regular grocery store; this was all the corner store had that met my cereal requirements)
    S - banana, coffee with splenda and milk
    L - pita with turkey, lite chevre, and raspberry chipotle sauce; something, else, not sure what
    S - blueberry fiber cake
    S - NF yogurt with wheat germ, maybe an apple
    D - salmon and potato bake, probably a green salad
    S - low cal pudding and some mini-meringues

    Exercise: back with trainer for first time in a week!
  • Well, I ended up with less than 1500 calories for today. I had:
    • smoothie
    • orange
    • salsa chicken
    • chicken and broccoli in orange sauce w/brown rice (finally made it tonight, and it was AWESOME! Tasted like, if not better than, the chicken a l'orange meal by Lean Cuisine)
    It all came to about 1455 calories and 137g protein. I did about 20 minutes of strength training after work, too. I may still add a sugar-free Jell-o w/fat-free Cool Whip for dessert, but that will still be less than an additional 50 calories.
