What did you eat today?? 12/5
Okay, I did not have the best of a start to my day. I am going to be honest,I made pancakes for the family, and of course I had one (a large one 
) So I am going for meals the rest of the day to be a little less on calories than usual.
Breakfast- 1 large pancake (w/ff milk, and 1 egg added),w/ lowfat syrup-about 400cal.
Snack-100 calorie oreo snack pack
Lunch-Taco salad w/sf jello and lf whipped topping.300cal.
Snack-apple or grapes
Dinner-Not sure, going to christmas parade, possibly eating out. Update later!

tj4change: I am new to this Webb site and as I was reading your message I felt I needed to write.
(1). What you had for breakfast wasn't all that bad, but you forgot to eat a serving of fruit, and instead of a whole egg, scramble up some egg whites (egg beater etc.) with onion and peppers maybe some tomatoes. Cooking the pancake, in a non-stick pan with something like Pam spray, is the better way to cook it. The low fat syrup, if you only used 1-2 tablespoons, that's OK.
(2). Note: any sugar your body does not use, or you do not excise off, the body will convert that sugar to fat and store it, for times of starvation. Try to stay away from the fat free , low calorie snacks as much as possible. Have you ever read the label on one of those snacks, and how much sugar is in them? (carbohydrates/sugar) Have a fruit, or veggies!
(3). Do you know how much fat is in those Taco salads??? If your at a restaurant that has a salad bar, go for the unbreaded chicken salad and raw veggies, the dressing use: lemon, or a vinaigrette . You can get sugar Free jello in a snack pack. Pack a snack.
(4) Your afternoon snack was perfect!
Now to answer your question: What did I eat today:
Breakfast:
(2/3) cup of whole wheat cereal, with 1/2 cup 1% milk, (6 ounces) of nonfat vanilla yogurt mixed in with (1) cup of mixed frozen berries (blueberries,blackberries,raspberries Mix), (2) packs of Sweet and Low sweetener. (one on the cereal, one with the fruit) (1) large cup of Blueberry tea, with (1) tab. of 1% milk and (1) more Sweet and Low.
Lunch:
(2) Slices of whole wheat bread, (1) tab of smart balance light, (1) slice of low fat cheese, (1) can of sardines with mustard, (1/4) cup of lettuce in/on the sandwich, (1) banana, (1) glass of water.
Afternoon snack: (1) corn tortilla, with (2) tabs of Eda mane Hummus,(Trader Joe's) not bad, has a punch. ( note: a little high in fat, 8 grams per (2) tabs and 90 calories.)
Dinner: Not sure, mite have skinless baked chicken or that fake lobster legs, with a big salad, an apple or an orange, another (6oz) yogurt, maybe a 4oz baked potato, then latter a sugar free Popsicle, and a serving of water with lemon.
That's it for me today and today only. Tomarrow I mite just make that egg white omlet with soy cheese and onions and tomatoes.

Dear TJ:
I am glad I could help. This morning I had the following:
(1) cup of Bran Flakes cereal (Note: High fiber about 9 grams per serving.)
(1) cup of 1% milk (brand: New Horizons-they have no lactose in theirs.)
(1) packette of Sweet and Low
(1) Banana
(2) Fake lobster legs.( normally I don't eat meat for breakfast, when I have cold cereal, but I think I am coming down with a cold and I was somewhat hungery.)
(1) sugar free popsical ( to cool the throat)
(1) large glass of cool water.
I do not know why I get so hungrey when I get sick, but knowing that, today is going to be a challenge.
I have not had lunch yet but I was thinking of the following:
(1-2) cups of home made soup: ((2) cups of low salt vegetable soup stock, (1) can of spinch, (1) diced oinon, (1) can of mixed veggies(can use frozen also.) season with dryed basil, ect whatever you have in the house that you like. and I use a little bit of brown spice mustard. Mix and heat then serve. ( for me it makes enough for lunch and dinner, but I am only one person. You can have 2, cups a meal if you want. you can add 1, cup of water to make it go further.)
(1/2) cup of cottage chesse (low fat)
(1) cup of lettuce from a bag.
(1/2) tomato (note: you can put canned tomatoes in the soup to help the base of the soup, to have more flavor.)
(1) apple or an orange
(1/2) cup kidney beans ( can use in the soup or salad.)
(1) teaspoon of EVOO (optional: Extra Virgin Olive Oil, in soup)
Dinner????
Maybe poached fish or baked with lemon, any left over soup from lunch, (1/2) cup of dry instant mashed potatoes with (1) tab of smart balance spread, (1) cup of mixed berries with (6oz) yogert and (1) pack of sweet and low.(mixed)
snack: Popsical (sugar free)
Note: If you like/love soup, making it is so much easier nowdays: Get soup stock from the store, comes in chicken, beef, vegetable and yes fish . watch the salt, low is better for you. add your vegetables, and seasonings, you can use 1/2 cup of pasta or rice or coucous (dry) per: 2 serving of soup(because 1/2 cup of pasta (cooked) is equal to a bread serving, (note: 1/2 cup of pasta or rice ect. dry, when cooked will make 1 cup cooked) 1/2 cup beans can be used as a meat or bread replacement. I just learned that in the last 5-15 min. of cooking add lettuce to the pot it makes the soup more hearty and there is still some crunch. We can make a meal in one pot. (note: can use real meat also (3-4oz) per serving. (1) cup of home made soup is a serving. If you make all veggie soup eat the pot. or just (2) cups that's about all I can handle.
Well I think I have said enough for now. If I can help in any way, inpart any more knowledge, inpart to me, please write: Twilight
