I'm on Phase II - and not losing. Hmmm - I wonder if drinking wine has anythign to do with it!
B. 1/2 a whole wheat bagel, 3 slices smoked salmon, 2 T. light cream cheese, 1 cup strawberries
L. turkey bacon and tomato sandwich on toasted whole wheat bread, lf yogurt, red and yellow pepper strips
D. meatloaf, salad of mesclun mix from my garden, oil and vinegar dressing
I'll have a glass of skim milk before bedtime. I'm a bit low on fiber today as I aim for 25 to 30 but will do better tomorrow.
Those turkey bacon BLTs sure sound good. I tried turkey bacon last time and didn't care for it, but I'll have to give it another shot and try some different brands because I'll be getting some tomatoes soon out of the garden and that is one of my favorite summer lunches!
Okay, so far today:
B - 2 egg and ham cups
No time for snack
L - 3 oz crabcake, 1 shrimp, 1 accidental Dorito (ate it without thinking when I was filling the bowl), 4 oz grilled chicken breast, 1.5 cups broccoli cauliflower salad, 4 strawberries dipped in dark chocolate (not a single bite of birthday cake, go me)
Snack - 1 apple
For the rest of the day:
Dinner - Think I'll have a leftover crabcake with 1/2 cup quinoa, 1 cup sauteed zucchini, maybe a salad if I can get in the mood.
Dessert/Evening snack - 1 cup skim milk or 1/2 cup ricotta creme of some sort. A plum if I'm still hungry.
Edited to add 30 pistachios to evening snack. No ricotta, so a glass of milk and a plum.
Okay, so far today and most likely what I will have....
B=egg beaters, cheese, and turkey sausage
S=mozzarella and vinegar-MAN I miss the bread
L= Taco salad...chicken, black beans, onion, & lettuce.
S=nuts
D= brown rice with veggies and chicken!
Well, yes and no. Our "main meal" of the day is around 2 in the afternoon. My husband has to be at work at 5am. and gets off at 1:45 (Monday-Thursday..he is off on Friday and Sat and works 8-5 on Sundays) When school is in session, I get off at 12:30. Then I work from home in the afternoons and during the summer I work all day from home. He's put in a full day by 2 and is ready for "dinner" then....so that's when we eat our biggest meal for the day..then in the evening, it's something light around 6 or so...more of like a snack.
I started doing that when I was pregnant with Kadyn and got awful heartburn at night. We kept it up for a couple years, but now Tom can't come home at lunch time so we have our big meal at night again. I actually preferred having our big meal in the middle of the day, too! Sorry if I sounded nosey.
This is a great thread, I like to see what you all are eating. I'm getting some good ideas for my lunches, too!
Today
Breakfast: Oatmeal w/banana and pecans, SF maple syrup
Snack: 1 Nessa's Oatmeal Bar
Lunch: Roasted red pepper and feta on 2 romaine lettuce leaves
Supper: Grilled chicken breast over large veggie salad, Ken's Light Northern Italian dressing
Snack: SF FF frozen yogurt
I really didn't care for Turkey Bacon either. I tried many different brands and thought I would never find one I liked until I found the Louis Rich brand, it's really good. I have also made the BLT's with them and it's delish! Not sure what brand you have tried, but thought I would give you my fave.
Hope you find a brand you love and when you do enjoy that BLT with those great home grown tomatos
Breakfast - Berry smoothie from this site with peanut butter
Snack - 1/4 cup soy nuts
Lunch - Veggie antipasto (MY FAVORITE AND I CANNOT WAIT!) with a whole wheat roll and Smart Balance spread
Snack - Cheese stick
Dinner - Black bean and goat cheese (I'm subbing feta - ooo, just used my last bit for a salad today, have to pick up more at the store tomorrow!) tostadas from the South Beach Quick and Easy Cookbook with a romaine and tomato salad and a pint of skim milk
Today I had- veggie eggs (scrambled eggs with tomatos, spring onions & herbs), chunk of cheese, lunch will be either ham & chicken wraps, or a cheese salad, mid afternnon mozzarella & tomato salad and dinner is pork steaks with a mustard sauce. Unfortunately it looks like th yoghurt has curdled in the slow cooker, but it still smells yummy!
I ordered the cookbook (the older one, not the new one) and can't wait for that to come so I can try out some new stuff for lunches
Breakfast: 2 poached eggs, 1 sliced tomato, 1 slice lowfat processed cheese
Snack: 30 Pistachios
Lunch: 3 oz tuna, 1 1/2 cup salad(spinach,red pepper,cukes, onion)
2/3 cup of Rajma beans( like kidney beans)
1/2 c. Rasberry SF jello
snack: 7 almonds
Dinner: 2/3 c. rajma beans, 1c steamed broccoli, mushroom,onion and garlic
1 c salad( same mix as lunch w/ tomatos added)
1/2 c rasberry sf jello
Gee writing it out makes it seem like a lot! I got some geat ideas from your posts, what a brilliant thread!
B - 1 cup oatmeal with 3/4 cup blueberries
S - cheese stick
L - Salad of Romaine, 1 plum tomato, 6 black olives, and 3 oz crabcake broken up over it.
Confession - When I dressed the salad, I grabbed DD's Paul Newman's Light Honey Mustard instead of my Newman's Vinaigrette. Didn't want to waste the salad, so I ate it. It was good, but kind of sweet - haven't checked the bottle yet.
For the rest of the day:
I don't have a clue, have to come back later to update. I hate it when I haven't planned ahead!
Happy Anniversary Kara and Tom!
Afternoon Snack: 5 triscuits and 1 tablespoon sf peanut butter
Dinner was: an omelet with tomato, zucchini, lowfat cheese, black olives, and chicken Italian sausage with a romaine salad and vinaigrette.
Dessert/evening snack - nonfat Greek yogurt with blackberries.
This was a really yummy day!
Edited to add rest of day.
