I wasn't going to post my meal plan from yesterday, but I feel like it's important to hold myself accountable. I didn't go over my points much at all, but I didn't eat healthy. I wouldn't even consider this a splurge since I felt sick after my hotdog binge. Here it is:
Breakfast: one poached egg on one slice of multigrain (5pp)
Lunch: garden salad with pan-fried chicken schnitzel strips (8pp)
Dinner: Skinny meatballs and spaghetti (13pp)
Flickety--I've seen you post about the skinny meatballs a couple times. If you're not against ground turkey, I use the meatball recipe from Skinnytaste that is only 5PP for 4 meatballs. I make mine smaller, using a small cookie scoop from Pampered Chef and I end up being able to have 5 for 5PP. I use her Crockpot Skinny Turkey Italian Meatballs recipe, but I've also done them on the stove in a pinch. We like them either way. It's one of the recipes that I keep around even when I'm not "dieting" because it's so easy and so good. We eat Smart Taste pasta, which is 5PP for 1 Cup, so 4-5 meatballs (depending on size) and 1 C. pasta is 10PP. A little less than what you're eating now. Just a thought. I'm not sure if a link to directly to the recipe is allowed.
Anyway, my plan for today.
Breakfast:
1/2 C. Quaker Old Fashioned Oats: 4PP
2 Tbsp Brown Sugar: 2PP
1 small granny smith apple, cut into bite sized pieces: 0PP
1/2 Tbsp Dried Cranberries: 2PP
4 Oz Trop50: 1PP
Snack:
Clementine: 0PP
Lunch:
Tuna to go pack: 2PP
1 Tbsp LF Mayo: 1 PP
Sara Lee Bread, 2 slices: 2PP
Lettuce: 0PP
Banana Peppers: 0PP
Sargento Cheese Stick: 2PP
Olives: 1PP
Snack
Strawberries: 0PP
Cool Whip: 2PP
Dinner
Crock Pot Beef and Broccoli: 5PP
1 C. brown rice: 5PP
I only did one chicken breast chopped up, was about 1lb of chicken (a little less), instead of the 3 cups. Then substituted 1 jar (15 oz) of Classico Light Alfredo instead of 2 of the one they listed. Also took out the mushrooms, and added in broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots. Used all 8 of the biscuits cause I didn't wanna throw out two and just made it 8 servings instead of the 6. So still one biscuit per serving. Ended up being 6pp per that way. It's in the oven now. Smells good at least!
I don't post here daily because.. well I post my meal plan for the day in a different thread, and it doesn't really vary. Figure you guys would get tired of reading the same thing over and over as I literally do the same thing for breakfast and snack every day, and then lunch/dinner are something I cook followed by leftovers of whatever that is... and we're now at a point where we're repeating a lot of recipes.
Breakfast
Chobani 2% Greek Yogurt, Coconut Blended 4PP
Fresh Pineapple 0PP
Trop50 8 oz juice 2PP
Snack
Pretzel thins 3PP
Clementine 0PP
Lunch (For my husband's birthday)
Red Robin Turkey Burger as is 18PP
Small order of fries, no refills 10PP
Unsweetened Iced Tea, with Lemon 0PP
(I did pretty well for me. I had something lower in points picked out, but when we got there, the turkey burger sounded better and I thought it would be low-ish in points. You can custimize your order online for nutritional info, so next time I know to ditch the chipotle mayo, and ditch the bun for a lettuce wrap, that would bring the burger down to 8PP!)
Dinner:
Grilled Cheese on Whole Grain Bread: 4PP
1 C. Tomato Soup with garlic 2PP
Salad 0PP
FF Catalina Dressing 1PP
Points Allowed: 37/Points Used: 36 (But way over my fat limit)
Breakfast: Three Weetbix with skim milk (6pp)
Lunch: Lamb and rosemary soup with a wholemeal dinner roll (6pp)
Dinner: Steak, Healthy Choice Chips and salad (14pp)
Breakfast: One poached egg on one slice of multigrain (5pp)
Lunch: Lamb and rosemary soup with bread roll (8pp)
Dinner: Tomato and parmesan chicken, couscous, pasta salad and green salad (10pp)
Snack: mini chocolate bar (2pp), apple (0pp)
