mmm pine nuts (drolling like homer simpson) - that sounds like a yummy salad!

The salad is great - it's on the menu at a local restaurant.  They've tried to take it off several times over the years when they update their menu, but they get so many requests for it that they've just given up and leave it on the menu!  I love the combination of the different textures of the fresh greens, warm grilled chicken, cool mandarin oranges, and delicious rich crunch of the pine nuts.  I make something similar at home sometimes, toss it all together and throw it in a low-carb wrap.  I'll substitute strawberries for the oranges when they are in season.  It's a quick, easy, tasty dinner! 

I'm not used to counting my food (I know...bad bad!) But here is what I ate: B - 1/4 cup lo-fat cottage cheese with 1/4 cup lo-fat  apple turnover yogurt,  1 cup coffee with Splenda Multi vitamins, calcium & B-12 20 oz water L - 1/4 cup fat free refried beans with 2 Tbs taco flavored cheese & 3 oz of Southwestern chicken, baked. 24 oz water D - 4 oz baked haddock, 1/4 cup refried beans with taco cheese & 1/4 cup homemade barley pilaf. 22 oz water with 1/4 cup apple juice mixed in. Snack:  15 plain goldfish crackers How'd I do?    HUGS  Jeanine

Looks like you did good - lots of protein varieties and water.  I never would have paired haddock with refried beans though :) 

Here's my info for today B - 16oz mootopia skim milk with one packet NSA carnation instant breakfast L - 1 cup cabbage/veggie soup and 2 (small) chicken spring rolls D - 1/2c cottage cheese with 1/2 cup fresh pineapple S - 16oz mootopia skim milk with 1 tbsp ovaltine Calories 939 Fat 17 Carbs 96 Fiber 10 Protein 83

Hi Ya Cute One, Sorry I missed reporting yesterday honestly I ate out for lunch and dinner and shoped and stayed pretty busy since I took The day off to spend with kids after working all weekend, Then I had friends stop over, Then I fell asleep with the Laptop in bed with me! Today was a much better day and I started really paying attention to my water intake. Before if I hadn't drank enough I ate my next meal anyway.  So I decided that I wouldn't do that anymore so even if my lunch was there I will wait untill I drink atleast 16 oz between meals! (that is my promise to me) plus I have been not drinking to soon I am very guilty of that so I won't do that anymore either.(another promise to me) ok here is todays counts.  coffee B=1 egg L=Broccoli Chedder Quiche (I didn't eat the crust)  was very good! coffee D=Home made sausage soup (I drank some of the broth first then ate the chunky stuff)  s= few chocolate chips  not sure if these totals are corect because I made the soup myself and I used daily plate to help me calculate it but here is as close as I can figure. 840 calories 29 protein   (think i'm gonna have a protein shake)  19 carbs 18 fat Thanks  Sunshine    AKA Estelle lol

Hmmm, I'm confused with those numbers - the calories don't make sense with the grams of fat, protein, and carbs?  1 g fat  = 9 cal approx 1 g protein or carb = 4g approx Either your cals for the day are a lot lower (400ish) or you ate more protein, carbs, and fat.  Its tough when you are estimating a home recipe.  I either look for something similar or I go to fitday and put all of the ingredients in, figure out what I personally will call a serving, and divide appropriately.  Its a pain so I only do that with things I know I'll make many times.  Oh well, you said you weren't sure and its the effort that counts right?   Good job making yourself  drink more water too!  I go through times where I am really good and then other days where I am lax and try to play catch-up in the evening.  What do you put in your sausage soup?  I've never put sausage in soup but I bet my husband would be up for it.  Goodnight sunshine!

I dont measure anything  Ground Sausage Italian sweet and hot onions green peppers  red peppers lots of baby bella mushrooms  and kale italian seasoning  Garlic  better than boulon seasing veggie :)  My hubby loves it  I make like a huge amount and freeze it, so today was from frozen thats why I couldnt even count a whole batch, so the sausage soup I used on daily plate, just came up when I typed in sausage soup , I wanted to use the info from olive gardens zuppa tuscana but I couldn't find any nut info on it, and the quiche was the same. I it got from a local restaurant so it was hard to count that too, I guess I just need to start cooking my stuff at home, oh and btw I did have that extra protein in some sf ff hot cocoa,
