  • Jay - Don't you get sick of LeanCuisine or feel bloated when you eat it a lot? I do for both, but the bloating I think is because of the salt. I try to make a lot of my food but it is HARD. Lately I've been packing my lunch the night before work since I seem to not have a lot of time in the morning.

    Breakfast (3.5):
    1 cup nonfat plain yogurt (2)
    1 medium banana (1.5)
    1/4 cup Fiber One (0)

    Mid-morning snack (2):
    Fiber One Bar (2)

    Lunch (8):
    Garden Salad w/ 2 TBSP fat free italian dressing (0) and
    1 can chunk light tuna in water (3)
    Nature Valley Peanut Butter Bar (4)
    1 oz Cabot 75% Light Cheddar Cheese (1)

    Dinner (9):
    Subway 6" Sweet Onion Chicken Teryaki (7)
    1 small bag Lay's Baked potato chips (2)

    After dinner snack if needed(dinner is going to be VERY early tonight!) (2):
    Fiber one bar (2)

    Total with after dinner snack: 24.5
    POINTS target for the day: 25
  • Hey there modkittn,

    I do sometimes get tired of the same old choices with Lean Cuisine, so I try to vary them. I am just not one to cook much, and this is my "Poor Chick's Jenny Craig Plan." As you can see from my ticker, it does work for me. (I always supplement with extra vegetables, though.) I don't feel bloated from eating them, and salt isn't a problem for me. Besides, they are not THAT high in sodium. No trans fats, either. And, I know exactly what I'm getting calorie- and nutrient-wise.

    My plan is already off for today because I just realized I have a potluck dinner tonight. That should be a challenge...

    rubberlegs, so! A West Coast chickie!

    Fiber One Bar (2)

    Lunch (5):

    Jay
    Ahhh, but did you indeed exercise? Just kidding


  • Have to look up how many cals I burned on restraint! Maybe I could have eaten more!

  • Getting some really good ideas from the meal plans posted here. I too am a Lean Cuisine junkie (fanatic). Getting so obsessed with not having the same meal twice in one week that I will alternate the American based meals with the Asian based meals.
  • Breakfast- 2 egg muffins (54 calories each and lots of protein, very little fat)
    coffee with 3 fat free creamers (75 cal. this time)

    Lunch- tuna and pickles (150 cal.)
    chocolate pudding (60 cal)

    snack- bannana

    Dinner- 4 ounce chicken breast and some sort of veggie
