I know what you mean about wasting food! I am exactly the same way. I had some cereal and leftover pasta and a few other things that I decided to use up before I started SB, so I was delayed a little bit. Also I was able to share some with my family, none of whom are on SB with me!
Oh and I forgot to comment on your menu last time
I agree with the others about adding in plenty of veggies. The guideline I think is around 4 cups? Usually I spread mine out between the three meals to make sure I get enough. Also, nuts are a pretty good snack, but you may want to try mixing it up with some other things, like lowfat cheese, "rollups" of lean meat and cheese, roasted chickpeas (one of my favorites), etc. I usually have a SF sweet treat, like pudding (the Jello chocolate mint one is divine!!) for my after dinner snack and I seriously look forward to it all day. You might want to consider hopping on over to the recipes section to look for different snack and dessert ideas.
ETA - Doh! I just realized pudding is on the P2 list!! Oh well, I guess I will be saving the rest for a bit later! Can any of our resident experts tell me why no pudding in P1? (But we can have fudgesicles which seem really similar to me?) I don't get it.
