What did you eat today?

So some of us could use some menu ideas... So share your favorite menus or just tell us whatcha ate What did you eat today?? I'll tell ya what I ate yesterday... Breakfast: cheerios and peaches (a staple for me...but I need some protein in my life in the morning...maybe yougurt? not sure) Lunch: Roasted Chicken Breast and tomatoes and cucumbers with a little balsamic vinegar Dinner: Deli Turkey and cheese rolled up, broccoli salad (raw broccoli with cheese) Still not sure if I'm eating enough or too much at one sitting. My mom got me a digital kitchen scale so I'll get it this weekend. That should help!

Yesterday was a bad example for me as all my workdays are. That is why I changed my schedule to not have two days in a row so I can play catch up on my off days. For instance I don't have the time to eat in the am before I leave so I take hte following shake for breakfast. I make this in 4oz increments and it is 20 gms of protien. I put 4oz skim milk (or there is a Mootopia milk that will add 4 more grms), 1/2 scoop whey protein vanilla, half pack sugar free instant breakfast, 1/2 cup ice and 1/2 banana. not bad for 20oz protien in just 4 oz......has become a staple of mine to get in the protein. I also found there is a special K protein cereal so I eat that as a cereal and add a few slices banana for flavor. I will post later what I eat today as I promise to do better. So far today I am finishing an achieve one mocah java (9.5 oz and 20gms protien) a new addiction for me LOL. Then it will be 8oz of water and then I will have egg beaters and cheese. I better get off here and start drinking! Donna

Ok, well today did not get better and I have to work tomorrow so I was suppose to do good. I had chicken soup at lunch and low on protein so for dinner I will make a shake. I got some powdered peanut butter today I am going to put in it to change the taste and add protein. I heard about it at a support group. I will let you know if it is any good. But basically it is ground peanuts you can mix with water to make Peanut butter or you can add to your shakes like it is. 4gms of protein per tbls powder and 75% less fat than regular PB. donna
