Daily menus - week of 4/2
I think there used to be a menu thread around here, but it may have died off. I hope no one minds if I start one--I'm really trying to focus on eating healthier rather than just focusing on the scale, and menu threads are very helpful to me (not only for accountability/feedback, but also to see what others are eating to get some good ideas!). I know my foods aren't "perfectly" whole, but I do what I can, and I know it's a vast improvement over how I USED to eat :dizzy:
Anyway, today's plan consists of:
|
Hey good idea!
Here are my foods for today - Breakfast - Ultimate meal/protein shake Lunch - Bean medley (mix of beans, tomatoes and corn) Brown rice with diced tomatoes Roasted Zucchini with leeks Dinner - Flank steak Bean medley Brown rice with diced tomatoes Roasted Zucchini with leeks Snacks (throughout the day)- Orange Carrots Protein/fiber shake |

L: leftover chicken stirfry (with onions, red pepper, mushrooms), rice D: leftover roast beef, broccoli, spinach salad S: hard-boiled egg, cottage cheese with raspberries, cup of mixed fruit (canned w/o syrup) |
ha, my menu's already changed. I ended up not having time to go to the store at lunch, so no salad bar salad for me, plus I grabbed 2 frosted oatmeal cookies from the break room :o
|
My lunch changed too.
I was hungry, heated up my lunch, started to eat but then I started to feel full. I ate my veggies but put the rest in the fridge. I had half a protein shake to kind of make up for the non lunch. |
Breakfast:
Single-egg omelette with spinach, cherry tomatoes and basil. Whole grain toast. Snack: Watermelon cubes Lunch: Ry-Crisp crackers with Laughing Cow light, turkey breast, avocado and cucumber (got this idea from someone on 3FC, and it's delish!), with some Libertie yogurt with apple and cinnamon. Snack: Celery and hummus Dinner: Grilled chicken breast with sauteed peppers and onions, over brown rice with spinach salad. Warm blueberry compote for dessert. Before bed: Tazo chai with milk |
Breakfast - 1/2 cup Fiber One Cereal mixed with 1/2 cup Kashi Go Lean cereal and 1/2 cup skim milk
S- a few grapes Lunch - 3 oz. salmon fillet baked with spices and about 3 cups cauliflower S - Fat free yogurt D - bowl of homemade chicken soup. Apricot/garlic chicken breast. Lots of roasted asparagus and brussel sprouts with fresh chopped garlic. |
I had an unplanned snack since I was hungry and it'll be a couple hours before dinner.
I got a corn tortilla, put some avocado in it with hummus and sliced cucumbers. It is so good and filling for less than 200 calories. |
Since I'm posting later in the day mine shouldn't change much.
Breakfast- Cheerios with 1% milk and banana Snack- small glass of high pulp OJ Lunch- Grilled chicken breast on a WW bun Snack- naval orange Dinner- tilapia, asparagus, new potatoes and corn on the grill and a garden salad evening sanck- fresh fruit salad |

Definitely an Indian vibe for me today.
B: Myoplex Lite Dark Chocolate protein shake w/.5 cup raspberries S: 15 almonds L: Palak paneer with brown rice and chickpeas S: 10 oz. peach kefir (usually I split this into 2 different snacks, but today I greedily wanted all 10 ounces at once!) D: Tandoori Chicken, brown rice, aloo gobi and maybe a nibble of samosa Steph |

anywho - here is what I've consumed today: Breakfast: 2 Whole Wheat waffles w/ syrup, 1 hard boiled egg (no yolk) Snack: Sunchips Lunch: McD's snackwrap (ranch), & a parfait I was doing okay until lunch. I was soo hungry and had these cravings. I'm glad it was just a snackwrap and a parfait although those are not whole foods. I really need to start preparing foods ahead of time and bringing them with me so that I dont make such a disaster! lol. |
Superstar--the Lean Cuisines still have sodium and stuff, so they're not perfect, but for me, they're good for a quick and easy mini-meal :)
I ended up having turkey cheeseburgers on wheat buns for dinner last night instead of spaghetti. Here's the plan for today:
