L - big salad with mixed greens, shredded carrots, a scant handful of orange dried cranberries, about 5 candied walnut halves - crushed, a little bit of Trader Joe's Cranberry walnut gorgonzola vinaigrette (70 calories -I took a measuring spoon in my lunch bag and measured 2 tbs) some red onion, grilled chicken, a few crunchy fried onions (I just love crunch on a salad) I'm going to say 500 calories for everything.

S - tangelo (100 calories)

S - 2 pieces of Wasa crisps (90), 35 calories of Laughing Cow cheese

D - it isour friend Paul's birthday. We are going to Blue Boheme (warning, the site plays music until you turn it off). This is my weekly, nice meal out in a restaurant. My goals - ONE glass of wine, stay out of the bread basket or have one piece, pick something non creamy for dinner and SPLIT a dessert. This group of friends LOVES cheese, so I bet we'll split a cheese board for an appetizer.

B - WW Low Carb Tortilla w/ scrambled egg whites, zucchini, and bell pepper, Orange
S - WW Low Carb Tortilla, laughing cow wedge, turkey breast (roll up)
L - Shrimp stirfry with tons of veggies. Turns out that I was out of rice, so I ended up serving over whole wheat couscous...still surprisingly good.
S - Muscle Milk Lite - making a frappucino of sorts with that and some coffee ice cubes
S - 3 multigrain flatbread crackers with 2 tbsp of homemade ricotta cheese, apple
D - Mexican Beef and Bean Bake - Cooked, mashed pinto beans, layered sort of lasagna style with zucchini sliced like thick noodles, a mixture of browned onion, garlic, jalapeno, and 4% fat ground beef, and a mixture of sauteed bell and pasilla pepper. You layer it, bake it, cut into wedges, and top off with a dollop of lowfat sour cream. It's a definite family favorite.
S - NSA Ice Cream Bar, and possibly popcorn while we do our movie night on the couch tonight.

Breakfast - 2 scrambled eggs and a biscuit
Lunch - chicken fajita filling, no tortillas, extras, or sides
Dinner - white chicken chili with corn chips
Evening Snack - 1/2 piece heath bar cake

wow that mexican beef and bean bake sounds phenomenal! My problem would be sticking to just one serving though :^:

Fox - well, it's kind of remarkably filling. Because you've got all of that vegetable (layers and layers of zucchini and peppers) and a TON of beans (I soak mine from dried and cook them so I can have a bit more for the calories), PLUS the beef, you get a really reasonable portion of extraordinarily filling food. We put ours into a soup bowl and it fills it just fine, and believe me, you are NOT hungry afterward.
