What's your daily menu look like??

Ok, maybe it's just me...  But I feel like I'm wayyyyy overeating, and can't stop shoving food in my face  lately :)

What is everyone else's daily menu look like?   what times do you eat, what quantities, and how many calories??

I'm going to post my menu for tomorrow after I decide what I'm eating!   Please follow suit and do the same, so we can all have an idea of where we're at..  I really think we can help eachother out here!  <3

Mary it's funny you should bring this up. I just got back on my sparkspeople.com yesterday and started tracking what I was putting in my mouth. I had a feeling I was sneaking way too many carbs in my mouth without even thinking about it. So, I decided to start tracking what I eat for a while just to see how many calories, proteins and carbs I've been eating a day. Sparkspeople keeps track of it all. You just add your food item and it will calculate everything for you. Yesterday I didn't do too bad which surprised me. I thought I was doing much worse than what I really was.

I'll post my menu when I have more time. Right now I'm off to take my daughter to the doctors.

Ok I've tracked my meals for the past 3 days and here's what I've come up with.....

Protein per day - anywhere between 50-70 grams a day
Carbs per day - anywhere between 70-100 grams a day (need to lower that amount)
Calories per day - ranges between 1,000-1300 a day

Menu for one day.... but it varies.

Breakfast: 2 scrambles eggs with cheese, 2 cups of coffee

Lunch: grilled cheese sandwich on wheat bread with tomato, onion.

Dinner: 1/2 cup spaghetti with sauce & 4 meatballs

Snack: 1 bag of micro popcorn (munched on throughout the day)

Anybody know how many carbs we can have per day? I think my intake is kinda high.... but I'm not sure how many we are allowed to safely have each day.

I stopped tracking formally. I follow these guidelines: 1. mentally add up the protein and get to 70g minimum per day, 2. measure volume, 1-1.5c per meal, 3. planned meals and snacks, no munching/grazing. I also started eating a mostly vegan diet about a month ago (I say mostly because I still eat fish and eggs 3-5x per week for the protein). Switch to vegan was for health benefits, not politics so I am not strict. I was surprised that within a week of starting a plant-based diet, my stomach completely flattened out (no bloating). Here's what today looked like: 

Breakfast: 1c Kashi Go Lean w/ 1 packet splenda, 1/4c sliced strawberry and 1/2c light vanilla soymilk (~15g protein)

9am: Soymilk latte (~6g protein)

10am: 1oz almonds and 2 homemade SF/WW banana walnut oatmeal cookies (~8g protein)

12pm: Salad with spinach, beets, shredded carrot, peas, garbanzo beans with FF raspberry dressing and 1c homemade vegan chili (~15g protein)

5pm: 2 more banana cookies (2g protein)

7pm: Protein shake made with soymilk (~30g protein)

9pm: WW pita with 1/2c spinach, shredded carrot, FF sesame dressing and 4oz trader joes flavored tofu (I forget what kind), 1 square dark chocolate (~20g protein)

Wow Jessica I'm really impressed with your daily menu! YOu are eating really healthy... getting your fruits & veggies in along with your protein. I am having trouble eating enough fruits & veggies.... I get too caught up on protein and carbs. Gotta skip the carbs and add more fruits & veggies. Thanks for posting, it really made me re-think my food menu.

Thanks. I had to stop and really think about how to get in more fruits and veggies. I had a lot of problems with constipation (sorry, TMI) but once I increased the fruits/veggies and cut back on animal protein, I am now at the opposite end of the spectrum. I am heavily supplementing for protein with shakes and soy-based products. My main concern was the antibiotics and hormones in animal protein and the fact that my meals were almost all animal-derived protein (meat, chicken, dairy). I work for a company that makes products to support treatment of colon cancer which made me start thinking about my own risk factors. Colon resections seem very unpleasant :-)
