My typical day varies, of course but here are some choices I make for a variety of meals.  I would love to see what everyone else is doing as far as food choices

Breakfast: Spinach Feta Wrap from Starbucks (250 cal), or Go Lean Kashi hot cereal (150 calories), or Atkins breakfast bar (160 calories)

Mid-morning: Decaf Coffee (my new friend)

Lunch: homemade salad spring rolls (spring roll wrapper, cooked chicken, shredded carrots and lettuce) with Mae Ploy Sweet chili sauce (70 calories for 2 tbsp) or spaghetti squash with marianar sauce and romano cheese or baja fresh sald with salsa for dressing (around 350 calories)

Snack: Frozen grapes or nonfat/sugar free frozen yogurt on a cake cone (150 calories) or soy crisps

Dinner:  depends on what I had during the day.  If I am already to 900 calories then I skip dinner and just have coffee.  If I am less than that I usually will have some protein like meat and a little bit of cheese or cottage cheese

I try to keep my calories under 1100 per day but, for me, it has been hard.  If I don't count everything I can easily get up to 1200 calories.

NOTE: I try REALLY hard not to go out to dinner.  I find that you just don't have enough control over what you are eating and I feel guilty after going out.

Mine is finally growming back and driving me crazy!!

You go girl!  Way to go on almost making goal!  I still have about 40 lbs until goal, and I hope to make it by cruise time in Febrauary.  At the rate things are going, I may get close but will probably take a little longer.  Congrats on a job well done!

I see our surgery date is the same and alot of my thoughts are the same! I lose only about 2 weeks a months and average 5 - 7 lbs, BUT I notic a difference in clothing and was able to buy size 14 skirt this weekend, which was great! My problem is I do not exercise seems like not enough hrs in the day. I did buy the Wii & Wii fit.for Christmas so maybe that will help! I do usually measure my food especially the protein or something like soup - or my famous (lol) mixture of ground beef or turkey, mushrooms, canned dieced tomatos and bean with garlic and onions - it makes a good lunch or quick dinner and can eat just about a cup most days - somedays I cannot eat that much. As for the lean cuisine that is not a huge amount and I would not worry, I was told if I am truly hungry and the pouch is growling then have somthing to eat. I recently started eating Greek yogurt - its expensive but worth it with berries and cereal on it.

I do hope we can keep in touch - my regular email is [email protected] or if you have instant messanger we can talk there.

Have a great day!

Im just checking to make sure im where i need to be on my meals. I was wondering what everyone is eating typically during the day???
