  • Veggielife, you can check out my "Fitday" (today wasn't as healthy as usual ) I eat only vegan food but I am sure you and I eat many of the same things I aim for a good middle between 1,200-1,800 on most days.

    Tomorrow I am making a soup with red cabbage, rainbow chard, carrot, onion, garlic and either beans and lentils of some sort. This will be filling, low calorie, high fiber and have a fair amount of protein.

    S - 100 cal light popcorn bag
    L - Leftovers from last night (5 oz grilled chicken breast, 1 cup roasted red potato topped with 2 tbsp plain yogurt and 1 tbsp light cheddar cheese, 1/4 bunch swiss chard sauteed with balsalmic vinegar)
    S - Protein Shake - 1 c vanilla soy milk, 1 scoop protein powder, 1 tbsp cocoa powder, ice

    thanks for sharing guys. Soulbliss,that soup sounds yummy. thanks I will check out your fitday I try to eat healthy but fail often but it seems when I write it down it helps me that is another reason I wanted this thread .
    Zenor, thanks for those links . No I'm not vegan but one day maybe I stopped eating meat a year 1/2 ago .going vegan is a goal of mine but that darn cheese gets me every time .LOL
  • I eat practically the same thing every week day. I guess at work, I don't feel the need for variety.

    Breakfast - 1 Pkg Low-Sugar Apple Cinnamon Oatmean
    Snack - 1 Cup Jello
    Lunch - 1 Lean Cuisine or Smartone depending on what's in the freezer, or a can of soup. Also a 100 cal pack, normally grasshoppers
    Snack - 1 cup Jello
    Dinner - 1 Lean Cuisine or Smartone or fresh Tilapia if it's on sale. Occassionally, I may make a chicken breast with some vegetables if I have the patience to let it cook
    After dinner - 1 light yogurt

    If I'm still hungry, I'll occasionally eat some cheese or a grapefruit or a 100 cal ice cream sandwich, but this is pretty much the norm for me.
  • I know this is against all traditional dieting wisdom, but the one meal I stringently plan is dinner because it's my biggest meal. Once I figure out (roughly) the calories of my dinner, I know the calories I'm allowed to have the rest of the day. Since I stock my pantry with healthy things (salads, fruits, nuts, turkey, yogurt, etc.), I can easily spontaneously choose foods that fit into my calorie needs.
