So I always love reading everyones daily meals. Sometimes I get ideas, sometimes I'm amazed that "She ate all that and only had that many calories?!"

And sometimes, I'm jealous of some of your progress and want to know what kind of diet you guys are doing!

So share your day to day meal plans in here!


For today, my meal plan is looking like this:

Breakfast
1 cup Honey Almond + Flax Total Cereal 200 cals
0.25 cup of fat free milk 21 cals

Snack
Sugar Free Rockstar Energy drink 20 cals
Pumpkin Pecan Kashi bar 120 cals

Lunch
Fruit Salad 100 cals
V8 Fusion Juice 100 Cals

Snack
Barbecue flavored rice cakes 90 cals
Fiber Soft Chews x 2 40 Cals

Dinner
2 Chicken Enchilada's w/ Rice 520 calories

Total 1,211 Calories

I was going to refer you to the daily meal thread, but I don't think we've had one in a quite a while!

Here's mine for today
B: homemade juice (grapefruit, cucumber, ginger root, apple and carrot through the juicer)
L: Spinach salad with grilled chicken, balsamic, mozzarella and tomato.
S: 1 cup of pistachios
D: I dunno yet! Any suggestions? I have a homemade veggie soup that I've been adding to for a couple of days, so I might work on that some more.
Dessert: FF hot chocolate, shot of peppermint schnapps

I count my calories. Right now I try to eat around 1,400. I also try to watch my carb/protein/fat ratios...I try to shoot for 40% carbs, 30% protein, 30% fat. I'm not one to snack between meals, so most of my calories are from my meals alone...however, I do usually eat an evening snack before bed. The only calories I drink is from my morning coffee...other than that, I stick to water and maybe 1 can of diet soda. Here is what a typical day of food looks like for me:

Breakfast [total of 377 calories]:
-Scrambled eggs (1 whole egg, 1 egg white) with peppers & onions, topped with salsa [120 calories]

Total calories for the day: 1,397

Currently working to:

Well that's it! It's a pretty low day for me because on Saturday at my bday party I will pig out a little bit so I am still trying to keep my weekly intake pretty low...but don't worry, I am eating enough! And drinking my 64oz of H20

Due to work schedules I rarely manage 3 square meals a day.
However I make sure my main meal, be it lunch or dinner (I usually just have a banana fo breakfast) is interesting.

Today I bought a mini Margharita pizza (250 cals) and plonked a portabello Mushroom on top and sliced Mozzerella (added 150cals) delicious!

I've been doing the slim fast plan so im supposed to have two of their meals, three snacks of around 100 cal and a dinner of around 500 cals for a total of 1200 cals before any beverages. I tend to try to stick to water with one diet soda at night so i rarely add calories there.

breakfast I have one of their shakes (190), usually either the chocolate royale or the cappuccino

snack 1 cup of fruit in light juice, lately been favoring tropical fruit with mango and pineapple, yummy (70)

snack 2 package of 100 calorie snack (cheez-its, goldfish, pringles, usually something salty) this is what i usually have, missed this snack today

lunch meal bar(200), i loooove the fruit and yougart or the oatmeal raisin

snack 3 some form of fruit snack, lately its been gushers (90)

dinner Since I'm only cooking for me I stick to healthy choice meals or lean cuisenes unless my boyfriend is over for the night. tonight i had lean cuisene lemon pepper chicken(290) a piece of pepper jack mixed in the veggies and on top of the fish (90) a piece of whole grain honey wheat bread with i cant believe its not butter spread (120) and, because im not supposed to drop below 1200 and i havent had a sweet treat today, a single serving size of dutch chocolate ice cream (170)

total 1220

A "good" weekday meal plan is:

Breakfast
-Yogurt and a banana (about 175-200) with black coffee

Lunch
Something from 7-11 with calories notated. I have two "standby" lunches.

#1: Kimchi (26), yogurt (89) and inarizushi (262). Water or tea.
#2: Vegetable bifun noodles (346) and sometimes yogurt (89). Water or tea.

Dinner
-1 small pack tofu (150? I should check), a few boiled bok choys, 1 head of broccoli, 1 cooked onion, and a little soy sauce or sesame dressing. (Calories ?)
-Banana or calcium supplement bar for dessert (both around 120)

Posting from the last day I ate "normally" for me - yesterday (Wed) I skipped breakfast and today I ate lower cal as I knew I was going out for lunch - and also yet to have dinner (Thursday). So this is from Tuesday:
