I was wondering what everyone ate throughout the day. I need some ideas.

Thanks!

you could try checking other peoples FitDay accounts. I do that A LOT.

But typically:

Breakfast: Oatmeal with cut up berries or a 2-egg omelet filled with veggies (usually, bell pepper, spinach, and broccoli) and a laughing cow wedge, cooked without oil on a nonstick pan.

Morning snack: Fruit

Lunch: Leftovers of whatever I had for dinner the night before

Afternoon snack - high fiber crackers and laughing cow garlic-herb reduced fat cheese wedges

Dinner - Usually a balanced, 450 cal or so meal with at least a cup and a half of veggies, 4-5 oz protein, and a 150-175 cal portion of the starch of my choice. Last night, for example, we had cheese and spinach chicken, a cup of cooked couscous, and both green beans and english peas. Tonight is a stirfry with 4 oz shrimp, broccoli, chard, spinach, cabbage, and carrots over 3/4 cup of brown rice.

Dessert - My favorite is grilled pineapple, topped with some rainbow sherbet. Or I have single portion size rainbow sherbet or vanilla ice cream cups (150 cals each) that hit the spot for the evening sweet tooth.

Lets see...today I didnt do to well but here's what I have had so far...

Breakfast
Kashi Oatmeal with 1/2 bananna cut up in it

Snack
Kashi Trail Mix Bar

Lunch
6 inch Turkey Sub on wheat, no mayo
1 cup clam chowder

Snack
1 Cup Natural Applesauce with cinnamin.

Dinner will be

2 slices veggie delight pizza from papa murpheys


I was sick with strep for 2 week and it just came back yesterday so Im not really up to cooking right now and Im very tired.....which is why I have been eating out today. I'm still trying to make pretty good choices.

Here's what I eat

Breakfast: Protein shake, ingredients vary but I try to keep it around 200 cals

Snack: peice of fruit or some veg

Lunch: Lean protein + whole grain + veg and fruit i.e. Whole wheat pita with hummus and a little chicken, a big spinach salad, and some strawberries.

Snack: a few nuts or a kashi bar

Dinner: Most always a chicken dish of some kind with brown rice, whole wheat bread, quinoa (etc) and a LOT of veggies... we always have fruit for dessert

Hope that helps!

Breakfast - 3 x ryebread toast with vegemite, or 2 x apple with 200gm tub ff yoghurt, or muesli with yoghurt or porridge, or weetbix with hot water or crumpits with jam

morning snack - at work usually a dozen mixed unsalted nuts or corncakes with vegemite

lunch - sandwiches (usually salad, sometimes curried egg) on rye, yoghurt & berries, this week I made a batch of savoury pumpkin crumbles and have been having those for lunch.

afternoon snack - apple or more nuts and sometimes I spoil myself with a biscuit.

dinner - I try and just keep this one balanced...but I don't usually have a traditional "dinner" as such...I mean friday night I had 500gm low-fat natural yoghurt with berried mixed through it lol. Sometimes a soup or stew...tonight's menu is Kangaroo steak

and i'll usually have something small with my evening chamomile tea....homemade fruit muffin or maybe a slice of toast.

Typical "good" day. Boring, but easy.
