What are you eating on Friday?

I figured I should start this since I vowed to be more dedicated to my program. AM: Coffee...2 cups. Splenda. Snack: 3 doritos, one cracker...damn. Lunch: PB sammich - low carb bread - crusts removed. Snack: Nectar - 2 scoops in 8 oz water. Dinner: skinless chicken, cheese, fresh salsa, LC Tortilla (1) Snack: Nectar - 2 scoops in 8 oz. water. Water: Only 48 ounces, but I'll finish before bed. Vitamins: Yes...4 Optisource. Calcium: Not yet, but tummy willing, I will. Exercise: Several hours of vigorous housework and hefting a 2-year old around. It counts, right? I think I've figured out why I keep grabbing the carbs: convenience. When chasing a 2-year old around, I often don't get the chance to pee when I need to, much less make a healthy snack/meal, so I grab whatever's handy. Bad move. I'll be making tuna salad/chicken salad/boiled eggs to keep on hand, though, so that problem should remedy itself. Anyone have any good tuna/chicken salad recipes? I'm a bit tired of mine.

Gina, This isn't really a chicken salad recipe, but I puree fat free cottage cheese and mix it with just a little bit of low fat mayo. You still get the mayo taste, less calories and more protein. You would never know there is cottage cheese in it. I have done it also with tuna and egg salad. I also add chopped onion, red pepper or even a little chopped pickle, whatever I have on hand to add a little crunch. Hope this helps.

We have an elaborate chicken salad recipe if interested. I'll ask Rich the source. Basically you poach the chicken in with celery and carrots and herbs. We put walnuts in with the salad. Adds a nice crunch. Tuna salad we make with mayo and SF sweet pickle relish. We do chicken salad, tuna salad, hard-boiled eggs whenever food is running low in the house. Staples! Fairly easy. Also, deli meat and cheese. Easy to roll-up a slice and chew up. Protein! Ummm, what no breakfast? Most important meal of the day, they say. PreB: Protein shake (scoop and a half) B: 2 hard boiled eggs, 2 pieces cheese L: Tuna salad S: Celery w/ PB, Protein shake (scoop and a half) S2: SF Peanut Butter cookie D: Pork Cutlet, a few small tortilla chips with melted cheese S: Protein Shake (scoop and a half) Water: Propel 16.9 oz, 40 oz (a bit low on the day) Vitamins: Got 'em! Exercise: Gym: 15 min cardio, ab work

Thank you for starting this thread, Gena! I'm not around on Fridays much, so if you see that I don't post it, do you mind doing it for me? I'm off work on Friday and that's usually a busy errand running/house cleaning day for me. Thank you!
