B-1 quiche cup, 1/2 c coffee
L-I have few slices turkey, will go get a salad somewhere after
40 min walk at mall
D-having a couple over for dinner, DH is making chicken with
whole wheat pasta and lots of fresh veggies-snow peas,
red peppers, zucchini, and the couple are bringing a salald.

on plan for today

B- cantaloupe, vanilla yogurt & grapefruit juice
S- almonds
L- boca patty & brussel sprouts
S- baby carrots
D- mexican stew (dh cooked up) over rice
S- jello

The bread is from Trader Joe's. It's low calorie Light Wheat Bread (whole wheat, I checked!) with only 40 calories and 1 gram of sugar per slice, so I allowed myself two slices for a serving. Normally I'd only have 1 grain serving a day, with the exception of this.

I won't buy those SF peppermint patties, for the very reason you stated! They almost killed me once, I was literally doubled over in pain! But, oh man, they are sooooooo good! :D

Oh thanks. I usually keep it at one serving of each, although occasionally I'll go to two. Just wondered if I was keeping it too low. I don't think I'd be losing at all if I went to three.

Morning ladies!

Hey Naked- Do you buy the roasted soy nuts as I do or do you roast them yourself?? I love those things-How much is a serving? What do we count them as? I bought some bulk for DH but he keeps em in his car or I would eat em all!

I buy the edamame already dry roasted. The brand is Seapoint Farms. I haven't found a store around here that carries them, so I get them online at snackaisle.com. Here is the nutritional values:

Okay, so maybe I will just eat a half cup, not a whole one. *sigh* I love these things.

Okay, I wasn't going to post my food because I didn't manage to stay on plan. Then I realized that skipping the day would defeat the purpose so here goes.

It was a hectic day. I started out mixing my greek yogurt with agave and nuts which I was going to have with a glass of organic vegetable juice. One bite and I realized the yogurt had gone bad. At that point I gave up and got ready for work, so no real breakfast.

AM: 6 almonds :(
Lunch: lentil soup with lots of spinach, 15 pistachios
snack: Soy crisps, radishes
dinner: Hot collard slaw with tempeh bacon ( a new recipe I'm trying), mashed cauliflower with laughing cow wedge

I would have been okay if the morning had worked out. Oh well, tomorrow is another day and I will get it right!

Sunday:
B: breakfast sandwich (ww English muffin with lf swiss, Eggbeaters, and Candian bacon) and coffee with skim milk
S: lf string cheese
L: apricot, pistachio, and goat cheese salad (Oh My Gosh! It was so good!)
S: 1 1/2 cups skim milk and sf popsicle
D: OFFPLAN- wings that my husband brought home.

I haven't eaten enough today but I am getting ready for a snack right now and I am going to eat a huge salad in about an hour.

ok, I tried the cinnamon dolce latte SF syrup from Starbucks, it was so awful I couldn't even drink the thing. Tasted like somebody dropped a red-hot in my coffee.

Breakfast - 1/2 cup egg beaters, red pepper, FF cheese, tea with 1% milk
Snack - Carrot and celery with 2 TBS hummus
Lunch - Arugala with chicken breast, homemade ranch dressing
Snack - yogurt
Dinner - 2 Italian turkey sausage, red pepper & onion sauteed in EVOO & 1/4 cup tomato sauce
Snack - SB peanut butter cup


If you're in P2, would you count carrots as a starch or vegetable? I've been scared to add starches back.

I count carrots as a veg, I just use less of them than other veggies. For instance in a soup or stir fry I'll put some in for color and taste, but then a TON of green peppers, zucchini, etc.

Good to know about the cinnamon dolce. I haven't tried that one yet. I didn't care for their gingerbread flavor.

Edamame...
 

Can someone pleeeeeeeze tell me where to buy edamame? I saw it on a couple of your menus. I've looked and looked, but have never found it.

You can usually find edamame in the fresh produce aisle. The dry roasted edamame can usually be found in with the chips and nuts.

Thanks! I'll have to look harder. I live in a rural area and do most of my grocery shopping at WalMart because of the better varieties than the little mom and pop grocers. Is the fresh edamame available year-round? The first time I ever tried it was at Ruby Tuesday's from their salad bar. Now when we choose someplace to eat I'll choose Ruby Tuesday's just for that!:D
