Hey Altari!

Well, what does FitDay say about your daily calorie use versus your 1350 calorie intake? That would be a good place to start.

Altari-

That seems about right, if anything - maybe a little low. I stay between 1200-1300 at my weight to lose 1.5-2 lbs per week.

In case anyone is wondering, I do an old Weight Watchers point system where you had a point range instead of a target. Whatever you didn't eat in your range, you could bank and use later on.

Breakfast (4):
1 cup 1% milk (2)
1 packet Weight Watchers Chocolate Smoothie (1)
1 cup frozen unsweetened strawberries (1)

Snack (2):
Fiber One Bar

Lunch (6):
Thomas' Light Multi-grain English Muffin (1)
Omlette
2 eggs (4)
green pepper (0)
1 ounce Cabot 75% light cheddar cheese (1)
1/2 cup slasa (0)

Snack (4.5):
Apple (1)
Tortilla Chips (3) and 1 cup salsa (0.5)

Dinner (8):
2 Oscar Mayer Fat Free Hot Dogs (1.5)

Donna's Green Beans

1 12-oz. package Birds Eye Steamfresh microwaveable green beans
1 TBS extra virgin olive oil
1/4 tsp salt
1/2-1 tsp dill weed
optional: 1/4 tsp hot red pepper flakes to taste

Microwave beans in the package for 5 minutes (30 seconds less than on package directions). Meanwhile, put olive oil in the bottom of a casserole dish and add salt and dill (and pepper flakes if you want it spicy!). Mix spices well in the oil.

Drain the beans well after microwaving with a strainer or collander. Put drained beans, still hot, into casserole dish and mix in the oil/spice mixture with a wooden spoon or spatula until beans are well covered. Serve warm or cold. They can be stored in the fridge in the covered casserole dish.

A 3-oz. serving (which is a lot!) is 80 calories, including the oil.
